In Bugzilla, a Watchlist is a feature that allows you to track the emails another Bugzilla user receives. This can be useful in situations like:
- Teamwork: If a team member goes on vacation, you can watch their Bug Mail to stay updated on any important bug-related communication.
- Monitoring: You can keep an eye on the bug-related activity of specific users, such as developers or testers.
- Knowledge Sharing: If you want to stay informed about the bugs a particular user is working on, you can add them to your watchlist.
How it works:
- When you add a user to your watchlist, you will receive a copy of all the emails that Bugzilla sends to that user.
- This includes emails triggered by any event related to bugs they are involved in, such as new comments, status changes, or attachments.
- The user you are watching will be aware that you are watching them.
How to use it:
- Go to your Bugzilla preferences (usually a link in the footer).
- Find the "User Watching" section.
- Enter the email address of the user you want to watch.
- Submit the changes.
Important Notes:
- The availability of the "User Watching" feature might depend on your Bugzilla installation's configuration.
- Be mindful of privacy and only watch users when necessary and with their awareness.
By using the Watchlist feature, you can effectively monitor bug-related activity and ensure that you stay informed about important updates and discussions.
