are the broadest category in Bugzilla, and tend to represent real-world
shipping products. E.g. if your company makes computer games,
you should have one product per game, perhaps a "Common" product for
units of technology used in multiple games, and maybe a few special
products (Website, Administration...)</P
><P
>Many of Bugzilla's settings are configurable on a per-product
basis. The number of "votes" available to users is set per-product,
as is the number of votes
required to move a bug automatically from the UNCONFIRMED status to the
NEW status.</P
><P
>To create a new product:</P
><P
></P

><P
>Select the "Add" link in the bottom right</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>Enter the name of the product and a description. The
Description field may contain HTML.</P
></LI
></OL
><P
>Don't worry about the "Closed for bug entry", "Maximum Votes
per person", "Maximum votes a person can put on a single bug",
"Number of votes a bug in this Product needs to automatically get out
of the UNCOMFIRMED state", and "Version" options yet. We'll cover
those in a few moments.

>5.3.2. Components</H2
><P
>Components are subsections of a Product. E.g. the computer game
you are designing may have a "UI"
component, an "API" component, a "Sound System" component, and a
"Plugins" component, each overseen by a different programmer. It
often makes sense to divide Components in Bugzilla according to the
natural divisions of responsibility within your Product or
company.</P
><P
> Each component has a owner and (if you turned it on in the parameters),
a QA Contact. The owner should be the primary person who fixes bugs in
that component. The QA Contact should be the person who will ensure
these bugs are completely fixed. The Owner, QA Contact, and Reporter
will get email when new bugs are created in this Component and when
these bugs change. Default Owner and Default QA Contact fields only
dictate the
<EM
>default assignments</EM
>;
these can be changed on bug submission, or at any later point in
a bug's life.</P
><P
>To create a new Component:</P
><P
></P
><OL
TYPE="1"
><LI
><P
>Select the "Edit components" link from the "Edit product"
page</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>Select the "Add" link in the bottom right.</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>Fill out the "Component" field, a short "Description",
the "Initial Owner" and "Initial QA Contact" (if enabled.)
The Component and Description fields may contain HTML;
the "Initial Owner" field must be a login name
already existing in the database.

3.1", "Flinders 95", and "Flinders 2000". Version is not a multi-select
field; the usual practice is to select the most recent version with
the bug.
