Frequently Asked Question


Q: I cannot assign a tool owner because when I click the drop-down menu, the person is not in the list. What should I do?


A: Before assigning someone as tool owner of a tool, you need to make sure that this person is already invited to Sastrify and is an active user. To invite a colleague, go to Settings > User Management. Then click on the "Invite user" button. You can assign the person to a specific tool with the invitation to ensure the automatic assignment after the invitation is accepted and a logion is created. Or you can assign them separately by following the instructions above.
