Workflow

Bugzilla workflow explains our process in-depth.

Accessing Your Saved Searches

You can save searches by using the "Remember Search" form at the bottom of any search page. You can edit your saved searches on the appropriate panel of your preferences, including whether or not links to the saved searches show in your bottom footer. You can also find searches others have publicly saved there that you can also add to your bottom footer.

By default, there will be one search called "My Bugs" that will show you bugs you have reported or been assigned to.
