Quick Start

Create Project

Add Artifacts project to your solution via "File->Add->New Project" menu command in Visual Studio. To store bugs under your version control alongside the source code specify project location inside the solution folder.

Create Artifact

Create a new bug description using the main menu command "Artifacts->New Artifact" or via the project's context menu.

Apply Labels

You can apply labels to the artifacts by pressing "Labels" button on the toolbar or by clicking "+" on the label panel.

Save Artifact

On saving the newly created artifact enter a name to be used as artifact ID (and also as the file name for the artifact). You can configure naming scheme in the project's properties to have artifact names generated automatically.

Artifacts List

You can view all artifacts in the project by clicking the node "All" in the Solution Explorer. There you can also browse artifacts by labels and create custom filters.

Submit Changes

Since artifacts are stored in files you can submit them to your version control system, view differences, examine change log the same way you do with the source code.
