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 are done. -
Here you can reduce or increase the amount of email sent you - from Bugzilla. Although this is referred to as - "Advanced Email Filtering Options", they are, - in fact, the standard email filter set. All of them are - self-explanatory, but you can use the filters in interesting - ways. For instance, some people (notably Quality Assurance - personnel) often only care to receive updates regarding a - bug when the bug changes state, so they can track bugs on - their flow charts and know when it is time to pull the bug - onto a quality assurance platform for inspection. Other - people set up email gateways to - Bonsai, the Mozilla automated CVS management system or Tinderbox, the Mozilla automated build management system, and - restrict which types of Bugzilla information are fed to - these systems.. -
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. -
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. -
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... -
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. -
