Linked Issues to your Trouble Ticket 

issues related to your individual environment (Customers)

If you are a Customer, you might want to create a Filter where from time to time you can keep track of the status of the bugs you reported. For that goal, you would do the following:

1. Go to "Issues" on the top of the page
2. Click on "Manage Filtes"
3. Go to "Search" and on the field "Search" look for "customer"
4. The filter "Filter for Customer" should appear:
5. You click on that filter and go to "Save as" and give it the name you want to. Now you are the owner of this filter and it is only customizable by you.
6. Change the last field in the search, so that where it says "ACCxxxx" you indicate your real Customer Account Number (where to find my Customer Number ) 
7. Carry out the search and finally "Save"
