Bugs

The Bugs module allows you to record and track software defects and feature requests. Bugs can be linked to Cases, Contacts, Accounts and a product Release, giving you full traceability from a customer support request through to the fix.

The Bugs module is hidden by default. Contact your administrator to enable it in the navigation bar.
