Visual Reports

 

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.

Understanding the Screen Layout

The module is divided into two parts:

  • Test Entities View (Denoted as A)

  • Test Entity Fields (Denoted as B)

  • Think Space - Create Data Table (Denoted as c)

Test Entities View

This view is divided into the following five sections that represent respective QMetry modules. Select a view to display the entity fields below on the tree. For example, if you select Test Cases, then all the fields for Test Cases module will be displayed.

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

  • Issues

  • Requirements

  • Test Cases

  • Executions

  • Test Suites

Test Entity Fields

There are three types of entity fields:

  • ID Fields: These are numeric fields not displayed on UI. The dynamic filters are mostly applied on ID fields. Like Project ID, Release ID etc(Denoted as A)

  • System Fields: These are system fields that are visible on UI. These fields are mostly displayed in the report. Like Project Name, Release Name etc (Denoted as B)

  • Custom Fields: Fields with “qmetry_” prefix custom fields. (Denoted as C)

Note: Custom Fields (of Requirements and Issue modules) which are mapped with Jira will not be displayed in QMetry Insight tables. Only QMetry Fields data and Jira 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 filed appears with the field type icon prefixed to it. Custom Fields can be identified with the “qmetry” prefix attach to the fields.

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