List of widget locations in Zoho BugTracker

Location

An extension's widget can be rendered in multiple locations inside the product.  This key (location) defines where the widgets should be rendered. Zoho BugTracker provides a list of widget locations. The key for the location should be specified in the plugin manifest file.

Issue details tab

This location refers to the last tab in the bottom panel of an issue's details page. One can reach this location by clicking a bug and scrolling down to its bottom panel. By scrolling to the right of the bottom panel, the extension's name will show up as the last tab in the panel. If there are multiple extensions, an ellipsis icon [...] will be shown as the last tab. By clicking the ellipsis, all the extensions will be listed.

Key to be used in the plugin manifest file: issue_tab

Extension settings

This location refers to the last tab in the extension's settings page. It can be navigated via Settings -> Integration -> Extensions -> Installed. The user can navigate to the extension they want and the widget will be loaded as the last tab alongside the 'General' settings in this page.

Key to be used in the plugin manifest file: app_settings

Top navigation bar

The top band of the portal is called the top navigation bar. You can build an extension that renders here. Entity property is not applicable in its context, however, the data can be stored against the extension. Your extension will be listed when the user clicks this icon from the top navigation bar.

If there isn't any extension that has been built for this location, then this icon will disappear.

Projects tab

Your extension will load as the last tab in the left-hand panel inside a project. Refer to the screenshot below. 

The user will not be able to access the extension from this location only when there is another extension that's being tested in the developer mode. The user will encounter an error message while trying to do so. Disable the developer mode to access this extension. The icon attribute has to be added mandatorily in the plugin_manifest.json file for this location. We support 40 icons for this location.
