Introduction

QMetry Insight gives you interactive reports that can be altered to get detailed insights by drilling down to the data. These reports also provide the facility to navigate, filter, sort, and view the data.

Visual Reports of QMetry Insight is designed for business users who want to generate and view reports without any technical expertise. These users can visualize, design and create custom reports.

Visual Reports allow you to create custom reports using module wise data fields. You can drag and drop data fields to add filters and attributes of the report.

Permissions : Visual Reports module will only be visible if the user has the View and Modify rights for QMetry Insight.

  • If you have opted for the Advanced Reports App: Custom Fields (of Requirements and Issue modules) which are mapped with Jira, Rally and Azure will be displayed in QMetry Insight tables if the Sync fields to Reports feature is turned “On” on the Integrations tab in the Integration module.

  • If you have not opted for the Advanced Reports App: Custom Fields (of Requirements and Issue modules) which are mapped with Jira, Rally and Azure will not be displayed in QMetry Insight tables. Only QMetry Fields data and external tracker System Fields data which are synced will be available for generating reports.

Search field is provided to easily locate the required field for the module. Each field appears with the field type icon prefixed to it.

Internal Custom Fields can be identified with the “qmetry” prefix attached to the fields.

External Custom Fields can be identified with the “ext” prefix attached to the fields.

For example, an external custom field “Release Reference” is mapped with the Requirement module in Project > Integrations tab. This mapped field is then synced in the QMetry Insight tables using the Sync fields to Reports feature. The field will be displayed as “Requirement ext_release_reference”.

Note: Records shown are only for the latest version of the test asset. For all version data switch to Advance Query Reports.
