Use the same credentials (login or email and password) as you do with Pivotal Tracker. You don't need to set up your own account with us.
No. We simply pass this on to the Tracker API to fetch your stories.
We store very little of your project data-- just a cache of the labels. So it's as secure as it is in Tracker.
If the project owner has chosen encrypted communication for a project, we do the same thing.
When you drag stories between activity columns in Story Mapper, we assign a new label to the story and remove the old label. When you drag an unstarted story above or below other unstarted stories in an activity column its priority will change relative to those stories in Tracker.
With the checkbox set to 'On' you can reprioritize unstarted stories with drag and drop. Started, in progress and delivered stories can never be reprioritized, only relabeled when you move them. The drop indicator shows where they belong based on their existing priority in Tracker.
With the checkbox set to 'Off' unstarted stories are also only relabeled when you move them.
This is a "playground" for our developers to try out ideas related to Tracker and its API. More details can be found there. Go check them out.
