Bugzilla Keywords

Bugzilla keywords are labels (or tags) that can be applied to individual issues (aka tickets, bugs, reports) to annotate, classify or otherwise describe them in a structured manner.

Keywords are distinct from Components and other classification mechanisms in Bugzilla:

• Components are per product, Keywords are global.

• An issue can only belong to one Component at a time, but an issue may have multiple Keyword's.

On the production Bugzilla, you may view the current list of FreeBSD Bugzilla Keywords, including their descriptions for use and the number of issues labelled with that keyword.

However, since that report is produced in alphabetical order, it can be confusing. The following tables document the logical divisions.
