Add QMetry Custom Dashboard Embedded URL in Jira Dashboard

The user who has created a custom dashboard can generate an embedded URL and share the link. The embedded URL gives access over live report data in read-only mode to the users who do not have direct access to QMetry application (i.e. Ability to view custom dashboard without any authentication). This link can be used to share the dashboard with other users or for integration with third-party integrations.

Steps to share Dashboard through Embedded URL

1. Go to the QMetry Custom Dashboard > My Dashboard > select the dashboard that you would like to share

2. Click on the Share Dashboard icon, the screen opens with two tabs on it: Users and Embedded URL.

3. Open the Embedded URL tab

4. Click Generate to generate the embedded URL.
   
   

   Open

   

   
   It is to be noted that the URL remains valid and active unless it is regenerated or deleted.
   
   

   Open

You can use the Embedded URL in Jira to view the QMetry dashboard reports on the Jira Dashboard page. This way, users who do not have access over QMetry can view QMetry reports directly in Jira. These reports will be displayed in read-only mode. 

Pre-requisites:

• QMetry Application and Jira server both should be configured on https or http.

• There should be connectivity between QMetry and Jira.
