Navigation Area
The navigation pane area allows users to arrange bugs in the required manner using the following tools:
Queries and sub-queries | Queries allow users to you to search for bugs which meet complex criteria. creating named filters and arranging them in hierarhy create, save and then run Boolean statementsdifferent filters, which filter bugs by specified criteria. Sub-queries provide an option for further filtering of query results. See 7See Queries section for details. |
Distributions | Distributions are used to display the bugs break down by values of some particular breakdown 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 Distributions section for details. - SIMPLIFY!!!!! |
Tabular distributions | Tabular distributions allow users to create bugs break downs breakdowns by two fields and also set additional filters on the distribution results. See Tabular Distributions section for details. - SIMPLIFY!!!!! |
Folders TBD | simply folders!!!!!!!!! for organizing queries |
Tags | The tags feature allows users to create a number of personal tags which are only used locally and LOCALLY (CHANGE) and |

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 are Boolean 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 returned by 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 pane 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 from the context menu. Then right-click the nodeelement, that should be the "parent" of your copy and select Paste from the context menu.
