General Tab

The General tab has several sections. Read more about these sections below. 

Description

The description field is a rich-text field editor to add or modify the content.
When copying from web pages (HTML format) and pasting into the description box, use Ctrl+Shift+V (instead of Ctrl+V), to avoid pasting the original formatting. In some cases, the original HTML format may interfere with Panaya when saving the pasted content.

Screenshot

To add a screenshot, you can drag and drop or paste an image using Ctrl+v.
You can then Edit, Replace or Delete the screenshot if necessary.

Creation

The fields in this section are auto-populated and cannot be altered.

Ownership

This section allows setting the development and testing owners who will be receiving email notifications about the progress of the defect.

Detection 

The detection section is where you set the priority, associated cycle, tests, steps transaction/object/application, and hashtags.

Blocking

For defects reported using the Panaya Recorder, you can set the test as blocking (default) or not blocking the next step of the test. Select No to allow testers to continue to the next step of the test, despite the new Defect.

Resolution

Use this section to assign a release, a due date, planned efforts, and more, depending on the project type.

Additional Info
