This guide assumes you already have an FTS account. If not, ask your administrator for an invite or start a free trial at ferrufino-tech-solutions.com.
Step 1 — Sign in
Open app.ferrufino-tech-solutions.com and sign in with the email your administrator invited. First-time users are guided through a short onboarding that sets up your name, preferred language, and initial workspace.Step 2 — Pick your workspace
A workspace is the container for a team or project. Cases and their evidence belong to one workspace. Members and tags do not. A member joins the organisation and carries one role across all of its workspaces, and tags live in a single list shared by the whole organisation — the Popular tags: row is built from every case your organisation has, not from the workspace you are looking at. An earlier version of this step said cases, evidence, tags and members were all “isolated from other workspaces”; two of those four were wrong. You will see a workspace switcher in the top-left of the sidebar. If you are the first person from your organisation, a default workspace has already been created for you. You cannot rename it — the product has no such function (this line said “You can rename it” until 06.08.2026). Adding more does work: click Settings in the sidebar, then + Add Workspace in the Organizations section. The settings page has no “Workspaces” section — this line said Settings → Workspaces until it was corrected (06.08.2026). The only label in the product that reads exactly “Workspaces” is a counter tile on the Admin page, which is a different screen; the settings page groups workspaces under their organisation.Step 3 — Create your first case
Click New Case in the sidebar. The form opens with these fields:- Workspace — required; which workspace the case lives in.
- Title — a short, specific description (e.g. “Connector X7 burned at 120 A load test”). Required.
- Observation / Symptoms — what you saw. Required.
- Root cause and Resolution — as far as you know; both may stay empty.
- Severity and Category — chosen from the taxonomy lists.
- Tags — typed freely, with suggestions from tags already in use.
- Language — English or German.
Step 4 — Attach evidence
Every verified claim needs evidence. Click + Upload File in the Evidence panel — or drag the files onto it — and add:- Photos of the part, defect, or setup — JPEG, PNG, GIF or WebP, up to 5 MB each
- PDFs of reports, specs, or procedures — up to 20 MB each
Step 5 — Send for review
When the case is complete, click Submit for Review. You do not pick a reviewer: every member of your organisation whose role is Reviewer or Admin sees the case in the review list and is notified, in the app and by email. In very large organisations the number of notifications sent per submission is capped; the review list still shows the case to everyone entitled to review it. Whoever opens it first decides, and there are exactly two decisions:- Verify ✓ → case moves to
Verified - Request Changes → case returns to
Draftwith their comment
Step 6 — Find it again
Open Cases and type into the field labelled Search cases above the list. It matches four fields of the case: title, observation, root cause and resolution. To narrow by tag, click the tag under Popular tags:; the select boxes above the list narrow by state, severity, category and workspace, and one switch limits the list to your own cases.Next
