In the Navigation Area you can
TELL ABOUT NAVIGATION AREA AND WAYS TO SEARCH
Deskzilla allows you to search for bugs and organize them in several convenient ways.elements of the na allows to search for bugs, but you can also use quick search and ....by creating filters, which you can name, save and work with in the Navigation Area or by running Quick Search or Table Search. Below is the overview of these functions.
Navigation Area
The navigation area allows users you to arrange organize bugs using the following tools:
Queries | Queries allow you to search for bugs which meet specific complex criteria. creating , create named filters and arranging arrange them in hierarhy create, save and then run different filters, which filter bugs by specified criteria. 7See an hierarchy. See the Queries section for details. | |||
Distributions | Distributions work as sets of filters and are used to breakdown break down bugs by some field and are represented as sets of sub-queries based on the selected field. For example, a distribution by status will show how many bugs exist for each status blah blah blah generate a folder of sub-queries corresponding to different status values where each sub-query filters bugs by one status value (i.e sub-query showing new bugs, sub-query showing open bugs, etc). See in the parent query of the distribution. See the Distributions section for details. - SIMPLIFY!!!!! | |||
Tabular distributions | Tabular distributions allow users to create breaking down bugs breakdowns by two fields and also set additional filters on the distribution results. See Tabular Distributions section for details. - SIMPLIFY!!!!! | |||
Tags | Folders | simply folders!!!!!!!!! for organizing queries |
| Folder elements are used to group elements in the navigation area. |
Tags | The tags feature allows users to create a number of creating personal tags which are only used LOCALLY (CHANGE) and | |||
OUTBOX | ADD SHORT DESCRIPTION |
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.
Search
besides searching with q and d deskzilla provides more ways to search
Deskzilla has two search options: - wrong, cause query is search too
...
and attaching them to bugs. You can select a tag in the navigation area and run it as a query to see bugs marked with this tag. | |
Outbox | Outbox is a system folder displayed in the navigation area, which contains bugs that were changed, but not uploaded to Bugzilla server. |
| Tip |
|---|
The same query or distribution can contain different bugs depending on its location in the navigation area. For example, Assigned To Me query will contain all bugs in the product assigned to me when its parent is the All Bugs query. When its parent is the Updated Today query, it will only contain the bugs that are both assigned to me and were updated today. See the Organizing Queries section for details. |
Search
Apart from searching for bugs with queries you can use Quick Search and Table search:
- Quick Search can be used to search for bugs by words or phrases. In this case the search runs within a currently selected query.
- You can also use Quick Search to search by
- Bug numbers. In this case the search runs within the currently selected connection.
- Bug URLs. Based on the specified URL Deskzilla will first find the corresponding connection and then search for the particular bug. If there is no connection that matches the bug URL, Deskzilla will ask you if a new connection with this URL should be created automatically.
- Table Search is used for searching for words or phrases in a selected bug table.
For details see the the Quick Search and Table Search sections.
