Execution Test Case Grid View Sorting/Grouping Option
The administrator can configure the default grouping and sorting of test cases displayed on the execution screen grid view for all users assigned to the project. However, users can override the default settings by sorting or grouping test cases on the execution screen grid view. The users' preferences will be auto-saved for them.
Note: If users have configured sorting and grouping as per their preference on the execution screen, then configuring sorting and grouping from Configuration > Execution Preferences will override existing sorting and grouping options for all users.
Steps to set configure default sorting and grouping of test cases:
Go to Configuration > Test Execution > Execution Preferences.
Select options for Sort By and Group By on the Execution Preferences screen.
Then click Save.
The confirmation message pops up informing that the change in configuration will override the existing settings of all users on the execution screen.
Click Save to proceed with the default settings for all the users.
On the the execution screen grid view, the test cases appear sorted and grouped as per the default settings configured in Configuration > Test Execution > Execution Preferences.
Individual users can still override the default setting by sorting or grouping test cases on the execution screen grid view. This preferences get saved for the screen and remain available when the user visits the screen next time. Hence, users do not have to redo Sort By and Group By again when they access the execution screen again.
