First Steps
Wekan is administered through a web UI which is started when you click the ITS-Wekan tile on the PS4 start page. You first need to create a new user to be able to log in. This user will automatically have administrator permissions.
New users can self-register as needed. This self-registration can be switched off in the administration settings.
For sending notifications via mail the mail server configuration needs to be adjusted in the administration settings. You can configure the server address and the account that has permissions to send mails.
All existing user accounts in Wekan can also be viewed and edited in the administration settings area.
In order to work with Wekan each user can create one or multiple "boards". Each board has a name and can be either private or public.
To organize tasks multiple columns can be created which reflect the different states each task can be in in its lifecycle from having the idea until the work is done.
