Link Notation

Certain areas of SOS Collab allow a special notation for linking to bugs and discussion messages in other areas of the SOS Collab system. These notations translate into links from the current page to the appropriate content.

These areas in SOS Collab accept notations:

Also, SOS Collab automatically creates Link Notations in Notification Bar messages about bugs and discussions.

Create a Link to a Bug

To provide a link to a specific bug in SOS Collab, type "bug:" and then the bug ID number.

For example:

bug:2325

The bug ID can be any bug in the SOS Collab system, and is not limited to a bug in the current project. The Bug ID is found on the bug header or in the ItemID column of bug lists.

Create a Link to a Discussion Message

To provide a link to a specific bug in SOS Collab, type "disc:" and then the Discussion ID number.

For example:

disc:254

The Discussion ID number is found in the subject line of Discussion message.

Accessing a Bug or Discussion Message via a Link Notation

Link Notations may appear in Bug details, Bug comments, Discussion messages and in the Notification Bar.

If you see a Link Notation, click on the link to access the specific bug or discussion message. Link Notations can link to bugs and discussions in other SOS Collab projects.

(Please Note: Users can only access bugs and discussion messages for projects to which they have access rights.)
