Manual Entry

Manual Entry is QA Hub's built-in ticket source for teams that don't use Jira, Linear, or Azure DevOps — or for cases where acceptance criteria need to be written directly in QA Hub.

When to use Manual Entry​

  • Your team manages requirements in a document, spreadsheet, or wiki
  • You want to generate test cases for a feature without an associated ticket
  • You're evaluating QA Hub and don't have a ticket source connected yet

How it works​

Manual entries are stored in QA Hub's database as ManualEntry records. Each entry has:

  • A unique code prefixed with MAN- (e.g., MAN-001)
  • A title
  • Acceptance criteria text (free-form)

Create a manual entry​

  1. In the Dashboard, select Manual from the connector selector.
  2. Click New Entry.
  3. Enter a title and acceptance criteria.
  4. Click Save.

The entry appears in the ticket list immediately and behaves identically to a Jira or Linear ticket — you can generate BDD scenarios and test cases from it.

Edit and delete​

Click any manual entry to edit its title or acceptance criteria. Changes are saved immediately. Deleting a manual entry does not delete any test cases that were generated from it — those remain in the library.

Listing all entries​

All manual entries for the active project are listed when Manual is the active connector. There is no search — entries are shown in creation order.

API access​

Manual entries can also be managed via the internal API:

GET  /api/manual-entries
POST /api/manual-entries

These are tenant-scoped endpoints authenticated by the standard session cookie, not the public API token.
