Question

Hello

Is there a way to just enter the case ID to view it? (Not necessarily to start working on it) I want to be able to say to a coworker "That problem was described/abandoned/discussed in case XXX" and he/she should be able to just type that number in and get to the case history - whether it is assigned to that particular developer or not, whether it is already closed, and so on...

Is that possible? I thought this would be very straightforward, but I can't find that option.

EDIT: We are using FogBugz Version 7.3.3H (DB 745, GEN 713, Build 2071) if that's relevant.

There are many ways to do this:

Suppose your FogBugz installation is at https://example.fogbugz.com and someone told you to check out case 1234. You could

1. Type 1234 in the search box, which will take you straight to the case. If you want to see the case alone in the list view, you can type ixBug:1234
   
   
2. Just type it in the address bar.
   
   You can visit https://example.fogbugz.com/?1234 and you'll be able to see the case.
   
   
3. To automate the above approach slightly, you could add the following bookmarklet, which will prompt you for the case you want to visit, to your browser:
   
   javascript:window.location="https://example.fogbugz.com/?"+prompt("Case Number:");
   
   (where you replace example.fogbugz.com with the address of your FogBugz installation)
