[[image:issuetracking-bugzillanewlink.png]] # What you see after clicking the ''New'' link is a list of NetBeans projects.

To see which issues are open, follow the instructions above in [[#Reporting_an_Issue_for_a_Project|Reporting an Issue for a Project]] to get to the Bugzilla issue tracker, where you will see a list of issues. [[image:issuetracking-clickissue.png]] ===Opening an Issue=== # To open an issue, click its ID number, as shown in the figure above. # With the issue open, you can read it and, if you have enough privilege in the project, edit it, add attachments, reassign it, close it, and so on. ===Editing an Issue=== # Open an issue as described above in [[#Opening_an_Issue|Opening an Issue]]. # With the issue open, you can edit all the fields you see listed.
