The administrator can define keywords which can be used to tag and
categorise bugs. For example, the keyword "regression" is commonly used.
A company might have a policy stating all regressions
must be fixed by the next release - this keyword can make tracking those
bugs much easier.
</p><p>
Keywords are global, rather than per-product. If the administrator changes
a keyword currently applied to any bugs, the keyword cache must be rebuilt
using the <a class="xref" href="sanitycheck.html" title="3.16. Checking and Maintaining Database Integrity">Section 3.16, “Checking and Maintaining Database Integrity”</a> script. Currently keywords cannot
be marked obsolete to prevent future usage.
</p><p>
Keywords can be created, edited or deleted by clicking the "Keywords"
link in the admin page. There are two fields for each keyword - the keyword
itself and a brief description. Once created, keywords can be selected
and applied to individual bugs in that bug's "Details" section.
