Queries

Queries allow you to search for bugs which meet specific complex criteria by creating named filters and arranging them in hierarchy. See Queries section for details.

Distributions

Distributions work as sets of filters and are used to breakdown bugs by some field. For example, a distribution by status will show how many bugs exist for each status in the query, under which the distribution is added. See Distributions section for details.

Tabular distributions

Tabular distributions allow breakdown bugs by two fields and also set additional filters on the distribution results. See Tabular Distributions section for details.

Folders

Folder elements are used to group elements in the Navigation Area.

Tags

The tags feature allows to create personal tags and attach them to bugs. You can select a tag in the Navigation Area and run it as a query to see bugs tagged with this tag.

Outbox

Outbox is a system folder displayed in the Navigation Area, which contains bugs which were changed, but not uploaded to Bugzilla server.

MOVE TO A SEPARATE PAGE

Every query contains a filter which can be applied to bugs and produce search results. SIMPLIFY!!!!!

All queries and distributions work as logic expressions and when arranged hierarchically they filter the results of the higher level expression. It is possible to copy and rearrange them, thus applying them to any node.

For example, the distribution by Status created for the top-level node will display status distribution for all bugs. However, it can be moved or copied to any of the child nodes and show this distribution for bugs in this child node. For example, show distribution by status for all bugs added today.

To move a query or a distribution to another place in the hierarchy, select it in the hierarchy by clicking on it and then drag it to the required location. As the element is dragged over the navigation area the possible new locations are highlighted with red. Once the required location is highlighted drop the element.

To copy a query or a distribution, right-click on it and select Copy. Then right-click the element, that should be the "parent" of your copy and select Paste from the context menu.
