Qase Query Language (QQL) is a way to get to make analytical requests to the data stored in Qase. It allows retrieving data sets for various entities using expressions with conditions.

QQL language structure

QQL consists of two parts: "Entity" + "Query". They both are required to perform a search query to the backend.

Example of query:

entity = 'case' and project = 'DEMO' and title ~ 'auth' order by id desc

Entity by default is 'case'. Projects by default - all available to user projects

Query

Currently, QQL supports six expression types. They are listed here in the decreasing priority order:

Expressions:

Expression Type	Example
Parenthesis	( expression )
Negation	not expression
Logical Expression	true or false
Logical AND	expression and expression
Logical OR	expression or expression
Checking the attribute value	attribute operand value
Sorting by field	ORDER BY field ASC/DESC

Supported operands:

Operand	Meaning	Works with
<	less than	integer
<=	less than or equal to	integer
>	greater than	integer
>=	greater than or equal to	integer
=, is	equal to	integer, bool
!=	not equal to	integer, bool
~	includes	string, text
in	includes (array)	array
not in	does not include (array)	array
is empty	no value
is not empty	value exists

Data types:

Data type	Possible values	Supported operands
Integer	110	>, >=, <, <=, =, !=
String	Some text	~
Boolean	True or False	is
Array	['Text1', 'Text2']; ('text 1', 'text 2'); []	in
Null	null

Functions (functions in ITALIC are not yet available, will be added later):

Name	Return type	Arguments	Description
currentUser()	integer	-	Returns an ID of current user
now()	integer	"+Nd" - modifies returned value, adding N days. "-Nd" - modifies returned value, substracting N days. "+Nw" - modifies returned value, adding N weeks. "-Nw" - modifies returned value, substracting N weeks. "+Nm" - modifies returned value, adding N months. "-Nm" - modifies returned value, substracting N months. N must be an integer	Returns current timestamp
startOfDay()	integer	The same modificators as for now() function plus: "Y-m-d" - modifies that date that is used for calculation	If no arguments are provided, returns UNIX TIMESTAMP of the current day start.
startOfWeek()	integer	The same modificators as for now() function plus: "Y-m-d" - modifies that date that is used for calculation	If no arguments are provided, returns UNIX TIMESTAMP of the current week start.
startOfMonth()	integer	The same modificators as for now() function plus: "Y-m-d" - modifies that date that is used for calculation	If no arguments are provided, returns UNIX TIMESTAMP of the current month start.
endOfDay()	integer	The same modificators as for now() function plus: "Y-m-d" - modifies that date that is used for calculation	If no arguments are provided, returns UNIX TIMESTAMP of the current day end.
endOfWeek()	integer	The same modificators as for now() function plus: "Y-m-d" - modifies that date that is used for calculation	If no arguments are provided, returns UNIX TIMESTAMP of the current week end.
endOfMonth()	integer	The same modificators as for now() function plus: "Y-m-d" - modifies that date that is used for calculation	If no arguments are provided, returns UNIX TIMESTAMP of the current month end.
group()	array	"Group title" - a required param (string).	Returns a list of IDs of users that belong to a particular Group
inactiveUsers()	array	-	Returns a list of users that are deactivated.
activeUsers()	array	-	Returns a list of active users
