- 2.1 Sync fields to Reports

Notes:

Only one Integration system can be configured with a single QMetry project at a time, however, different QMetry projects can be integrated with different Azure projects.
The same Azure instance should not be configured with multiple QMetry instances.

Azure Configuration

1. Go to Integration > Integration Configuration.

2. Choose “Azure” as Integration Type.

3. Enter the following details.

Alias Name: Enter Azure alias name.
Azure URL: Enter Azure Cloud URL.

Sync fields to Reports

Note: The feature is only available to the customers who have opted for the Advanced Reports App.

Admin can opt for syncing the mapped custom fields of external tracker to the reports. You can include Azure's custom fields of Issues and Requirements modules in QMetry Insight tables for both Visual and Advance Query Reports to create a custom report with UDFs.

If the option is turned “On”, then the mapped custom fields for Issues and Requirements modules will be synced in the QMetry Insight module.

If the options is turned “Off”, then the synced fields in the QMetry Insight module will be removed.

Use Case: Project admin wants to create a custom report in QMetry Insights using Azure's custom fields, which are mapped n Project Integration Screen (Projects > Project/Release/Cycle > Integration).

→ Permission required: Users with Integration “Modify” rights can enable/disable the sync.

Notes:

Once you have enabled/disabled the option for an external tracker integration, you can change the state of that option for that integration only after 8 hours.
Once you have enabled/disabled the option for one external tracker integration, you can enable/disable the option for other integrations only after 4 hours.
You can not disable the Sync Fields to Reports option in the midst once the syncing is initiated and in-progress.
Only those external UDFs which are mapped under Project > Integrations tab will be synced in the QMetry Insight module.
Maximum 1000 UDFs (including internal and external UDFs) are allowed to sync for the QMetry Insight module.
The syncing of fields to reports are done at instance level. Hence, all the users of the projects with which the external tracker is integrated, can see the synced UDFs in the QMetry Insight module.
If the integration with the external tracker is removed, the UDFs will also be stopped showing in the QMetry Insight module.

Steps:

1. Go to Integrations and open the Integrations tab.

2. Turn the Sync fields to Reports option “On” for the integration to sync mapped external custom fields to QMetry Insights. By default, the option remains “Off”.
