Customized User Preferences offer tremendous versatility to - your individual Bugzilla experience. - Let's plunge into what you can do! The first step is to click - the "Edit prefs" link at the footer of each page once you - have logged in to - Landfill. -
On this page, you can change your basic Account Settings, - including your password and full name. - For security reasons, in order to change anything on this page you - must type your current - password into the "Old Password" field. - If you wish to change your password, type the new password you - want into the "New Password" field and again into the "Re-enter - new password" field to ensure - you typed your new password correctly. Select the "Submit" button and you're done! -
Note: The email notification settings described below have been obsoleted in Bugzilla 2.12, and - this section will be replaced with a comprehensive description of the amazing array of - new options at your disposal. However, in the meantime, throw this chunk out the window - and go crazy with goofing around with different notification options. -
Ahh, here you can reduce or increase the amount of email sent you from Bugzilla! - In the drop-down "Notify me of changes to", select one of -
All qualifying bugs: sends you every change to every bug - where your name is somewhere on it, regardless of who changed it. |
Only those bugs which I am listed in the CC line: prevents - you from receiving mail for which you are the reporter,' - owner, or QA contact. If you are on the CC - list, presumably someone had a good - reason for you to get the email. |
All qulifying bugs except those which I change: - This is the default, and - a sensible setting. If someone else changes your bugs, you will get emailed, - but if you change bugs - yourself you will receive no notification of the change. |
Note: This option may not be available in all Bugzilla installations, depending upon - the preferences of the systems administrator responsible for the setup of your Bugzilla. - However, if you really want this functionality, ask her to "enable newemailtech - in Params" - and "make it the default for all new users", referring her to the Administration section - of this Guide. -
Disregard the warnings about "experimental and bleeding edge"; the code to handle email - in a cleaner manner than that historically used for Bugzilla is - quite robust and well-tested now. -
I recommend you enable the option, "Click here to sign up (and risk any bugs)". - Your email-box - will thank you for it. The fundamental shift in "newemailtech" is away from standard UNIX - "diff" output, which is quite ugly, to a prettier, better laid-out email. -
Note: This option may not be available in all Bugzilla installations, depending upon - the preferences of the systems administrator responsible for the setup of your Bugzilla. - However, if you really want this functionality, ask her to "enable watchers in Params". -
By entering user email names into the "Users to watch" text entry box, delineated by commas, - you can watch bugs of other users. This powerful functionality enables seamless transitions - as developers change projects, managers wish to get in touch with the issues faced by their - direct reports, or users go on vacation. If any of these three situations apply - to you, you will undoubtedly find this feature quite convenient. -
Note: By default, this page is quite barren. However, go explore the Query Page some more; you will - find that you can store numerous queries on the server, so if you regularly run a particular query - it is just a drop-down menu away. On this page of Preferences, if you have many stored - queries you can elect to have them always one-click away! -
If you have many stored queries on the server, here you will find individual drop-downs for each - stored query. Each drop-down gives you the option of that query appearing on the footer of every - page in Bugzilla! This gives you powerful one-click access to any complex searches you may set up, - and is an excellent way to impress your boss... -
Tip: By default, the "My Bugs" link appears at the bottom of each page. However, this query - gives you both the bugs you have reported, as well as those you are assigned. One of the most - common uses for this page is to remove the "My Bugs" link, replacing it with two other queries, - commonly called "My Bug Reports" and "My Bugs" (but only referencing bugs assigned to you). This - allows you to distinguish those bugs you have reported from those you are assigned. I commonly - set up complex Boolean queries in the Query page and link them to my footer in this page. When - they are significantly complex, a one-click reference can save hours of work.
This is a purely informative page which outlines your current permissions on - this installation of Bugzilla. If you have permissions to grant certain permissions to - other users, the "other users" link appears on this page as well as the footer. - For more information regarding user administration, please consult the Administration - section of this Guide. -
