Hi Atrol,

Kindly find the attached images for reference. I added images and description clearly.
As stated in image, I need to have another column like “hold” followed by open where bug count should display for all projects

The columns are no status values.
There is a classification of status values into open, resolved and closed. (influenced by setting $g_bug_resolved_status_threshold)

It would not make sense to have a matrix of status values.
Imagine how your second screenshot "By Status" would look like.

I am quite sure there is no row for status "hold" in section "By Status" because there are no issues with that status.

You have to change function summary_print_by_enum in file core/summary_api.php if you want to change the columns.

The time I can invest to support users on MantisBT forum is limited. I can't provide such kind of help.
You have to learn PHP and/or find a developer that can support you if you need such a specifing customization.
Maybe another user can help.
