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.
