<p>I can't delete the Schedule Item category because it has "special meaning" for Evidence Based Scheduling. But I can't figure out exactly what special use it has that would prevent EBS from functioning without it (or, more precisely, without cases that can be marked as it.)</p> <p>If I can use EBS successfully without using schedule items, I should be able to delete schedule items so as not to confuse my users.</p>

<p>I just watched a demo of a possible implementation of this feature. Barring any QA dealbreakers, this will ship in an upcoming version, as a daily task that checks for visibility/editability and posts a notification to the admins.</p>

<p>There are a bunch of workarounds for this:</p> <ul> <li>Use BugzScout to capture these stack traces, which will allow you to stop them from appending to the case automatically.</li> <li>For these cases, create a parent case where discussion can happen unmolested.</li> <li>By convention, have all discussion happen via case event edit of the oldest entry.</li> </ul>

<p>The answer depends on whether you're running on your own servers or FogBugz On Demand, and depends on which database platform.</p> <p>For On Demand, we can reset your entire database to its initial state if you contact us directly.</p>

<p>This can be done using a database trigger if you run FogBugz on your own servers. Or, you can make a code change and recompile. It would not be possible with FogBugz On Demand.</p>

<p>The current version allows the admin to select the Strict Password policy:</p> <p>The Strict Password Policy will enforce the following rules whenever a password is set: </p> <p>Passwords must be at least 8 characters long</p> <p>Passwords must contain:</p> <ul> <li>At least 1 uppercase letter</li> <li>At least 1 lowercase letter</li> <li>At least 1 number</li> <li>At least 1 special character (@,#,$,etc.)</li> </ul> <p>We also have mechanisms in place to prevent brute force attacks against FogBugz via password-guessing. After a certain number of incorrect attempts, even a correct guess will not let you in until a period of time has elapsed. You can get the details from the code if you own FogBugz.</p> <p>We don't pretend that these are enough for everyone ever in the history of the world. Security and authentication are always a moving target and needs are different depending on the data being secured. We find that our current authentication mechanism strikes a workable balance.</p> <p>If these policies are insufficient for your organization, the next step is to restrict access to the FogBugz web site itself so that a user never even reaches the FogBugz web site/application, without having been authenticated to your satisfaction. Of course, this would require you to host FogBugz on your servers. Fortunately, those users who require stronger security than is built into FogBugz have mostly self-selected into FogBugz for Your Server anyway.</p>

<p>Your use of the search axis is going to the database and doing something like:</p> <pre><code>AND sTitle LIKE ('%SpecialUpload%') </code></pre> <p>Because this is a database operation, it's faster than your other search, which goes to the search index and so hits a completely separate code path.</p> <p>If you add a search for <code>title:SpecialUpload</code> rather than adding a search for <code>SpecialUpload</code> alone.</p>

<p>Any number or date field can use the <code>..</code> operator.</p> <pre><code>priority:1..3 opened:"-5d..-10m" </code></pre> <p>You can add searches like this to your filter.</p> <p>I'm going to close this question, though, because it's not about combining filters, per se, so is unlikely to be useful to others.</p>

<p>Hmmm. The priority should be the default priority for your install, which might be set to 7. To explicitly set the priority, you'll have to use the XML API.</p> <p>You'll want to use an API token that you generate, and then make an API call rather than a BugzScout call. You can still specify all the parameters, like <strong>sScoutDescription</strong>. But this also opens up other functionality for you, like setting the <strong>fScoutStopReporting</strong> flag programmatically.</p> <p>We use this all the time to use FogBugz to monitor RSS feeds. We pick up the last 10 items in the feed and "submit" all of them with <strong>fScoutStopReporting</strong> set to 1. Thus only one case comes up for each new item in the feed.</p>
