Subscribing to a Case

At the bottom of every case page is a link that lets you subscribe to that case. This will send you an email notification whenever anything changes about that case.

In the interest of reducing the amount of unwanted email, FogBugz does not let you force-subscribe someone else to a case. If you want them to know about it, you should temporarily assign the case to them with a note like "FYI" (which sends them a notification email) and then immediately assign it back to whomever it really belongs.

There are three other ways to get notifications when cases you're interested in have changed:

1. You can subscribe to a case using RSS.
2. The "visited" link color (purple) on the List page will change to the "unvisited" color (blue) if anything has changed about the bug since you last looked at it.
3. You can subscribe to a daily escalation report in the Options screen; the daily escalation report is emailed every morning and lists all overdue bugs and all bugs which will become due that day.

Also note that FogBugz will always tell you:

• if someone has assigned a bug to you
• if someone has changed a bug which is already assigned to you

You can turn off email from the Options screen, but this is probably not a good idea. You should only turn off email if:

1. You already spend so much time in FogBugz you won't miss new cases assigned to you
2. You are setting up a virtual account that doesn't correspond to a real human to hold bugs temporarily for one reason or another
