User Profile

The user profile menu allows a user to change profile options that reflect how he/she views the issues in the system. The menu is composed of tabs of related options as follows :

The first tab allows a user to change their password and user account info. The user account info settings are as follows:

Plain Text Email Sends all email notifications as text only messages. The default is to use the html format which mimics the display inside the tool.
Never Skip NotificationsThis option will ensure that notifications are always sent to a user, rather than being skipped if the user is actually the one making the change to the issue.
User Tag A tag that can be appended to the userid to help indicate the identity of the user
Email Address The email address where all notifications are to be sent. This setting can include a list of emails (separated by commas or semi-colons)

Admin users will also see some extra options for changing to a different group, changing the user account type (normal,readonly,admin), and copying current settings over another users profile.

The second column contains the following user preferences:

Display bug details newest first Displays the newest history entry fields first in the bug descriptions. The default setting is to display the entries in chronological order, but this can require a lot of scrolling if there are a lot of entries.
History TypeControls the default history type that is used in the history section when viewing issue details.
Font size Determines how large to display the information about bugs. A smaller font size can allow you to see more bugs or fields on the screen at once
Disable Colour CodingThis options disables the color coding attributes used to format the main menu
Disable Menu Summary Allows the user to hide the summary box on the bottom of the main menu page.
Disable Time Summary Allows the user to hide the time summary box on the bottom of the main menu page.
Disable Main Menu Grouping Allows users to show all issues in one list, in the main menu. (default size is 100)
Set Main Menu Grouping Size Allows users to control the grouping size in the main menu.
Time Zone Adjustment Adjusts all dates to a specific time zone.
Language Allows user to default to another language.
Default Filter Allows user to control the default filter that is set when they log in.

The third tab controls the column preferences, which dictate the appearance of field headings and columns in the main menu.
The following options are available for column formatting :

Position : controls the column position of a specific field (if enabled). You can move a field position up or down the list by entering a position value in the input and then updating the profile.

Enable : controls the appearance of a field on the main menu.

Max Width : controls the maximum pixel width that a column will span in the main menu.

Max Length : controls the maximum character length of a column in the main menu. A truncated field will append a "..." string to it's text.

Wrap : controls whether a field will wrap on the main menu, or scroll off to the right.

Row : this setting displays a field as a new row with the issue, rather than the normal column appearance. This is useful for fields with longer values (ie: textareas) that may span a wider width of the menu.

Historical : this setting concatenates and displays all of the historical values for a given field. The "Sep" option will add a date separator between concatenated entries.

The enabled fields are also used as the default setting for report and chart creation.

Notes:

- The "Customize.." link shows only a subset of the User Profile. It only allows you to change the main preferences and the columns that are shown on the main menu.
