Different tabs of bugzilla

The Bugzilla Home Page Interface

Tabs in Bugzilla

The first thing to do is go to https://bugs.hamaralinux.org/ . The moment you enter the URL you would be presented the following web page

One of the most important things that can be seen is the version number of bugzilla at the top most right. This is important so that people know which version is being used and people take corrective steps if bugs are found in bugzilla and a new hotfixed version is available upstream.

There are 8 tabs on the homepage when you land on the homepage. Most of these tabs will remain the same while a couple will change. We will go into each page in more detail, just sharing what they mean for now links which will not change/be constant are :-

Home - This is a link to the same page. Any website first page is known as the home page or the landing page. This page is the gateway which at a glance gives an idea of the best features of a site and in case of bugzilla would be constant/static image unless upstream changes it or we introduce some theme to the bugzilla installation as well.

New - This page will either get you to the login page or give you a new page where you can enter the bug.

Browse - This link would let you browse the bugs which are in different product categories that are there in this bugzilla instance.

Search - This link would let you search using different parameters to see if an issue/bug has already been put which you are searching for. Next to the Search tab there is also an Input box where you can put a search term/ keyword and do a simple search using that.

Help - This link would send you to the upstream bugzilla documentation .

New Account - This is where a new user need to go if s/he wants to create an account in order to file a a bug s/he has some across or has some feature that s/he wants.

Log In - When a user has made an account and he has the username and password in her/is possession or knows that, then he needs to provide credentials there.

Forgot Password - When a user forgets his/her password, this tab is used.
