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 Notifications | This 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 Type | Controls 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 Coding | This 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.
