in fact, the standard email filter set. All of them are

self-explanatory, but you can use the filters in interesting

ways. For instance, some people (notably Quality Assurance

personnel) often only care to receive updates regarding a

bug when the bug changes state, so they can track bugs on
|
|
their flow charts and know when it is time to pull the bug

onto a quality assurance platform for inspection. Other

people set up email gateways to

have reported, as well as those you are assigned. One of
|
|
the most common uses for this page is to remove the "My
|
|
Bugs" link, replacing it with two other queries, commonly
|
|
called "My Bug Reports" and "My Bugs" (but only referencing
|
|
bugs assigned to you). This allows you to distinguish those
|
|
bugs you have reported from those you are assigned. I
|
|
commonly set up complex Boolean queries in the Query page
|
|
and link them to my footer in this page. When they are
|
|
significantly complex, a one-click reference can save hours
|
|
of work.</P
