Dashboards

Dashboards Overview

Dashboards are a new way to gather understanding about your projects and to always have statistical and analytical data at your fingertips.

You can create as many dashboards as you need, and each dashboard can be set up with a selection of widgets you would prefer to see.

Let's take a look at how to build a dashboard:

• First off, give your dashboard a title (mandatory) and add a brief description:
  
• Next up, choose to whom a dashboard will be visible: you can keep it private to yourself, or make it public for the entire team to use:
  
• Finally, pick projects to base your dashboard on. If you select "All projects", then the dashboard will gather data on all projects available to you. You can also choose just one project or any selection of projects to feed the data into your dashboard. If a dashboard is made public, every user will only see data regarding the projects they have access to.
  

Once configured, you can always go back to editing your dashboard's parameters via the Settings button:

Widgets

When you are ready to begin adding widgets. hit the "+Add widget" button:

There are several widgets available, in the modal window they are broken down into two groups: "By Entity" and "By Type".

In the Entities group, you can find widgets related to each specific entity - there are widgets for test cases, test runs, test results, defects, requirements, and custom fields.

Type grouping collects different types of widgets:

• Single Value: a single value chart shows a single value that represents the current state of the entity. This chart type answers the following question: “How many artifacts do we have at the moment?“.
• Timed Value: a timed value chart shows a cumulative sum of events that happened to some entity. This chart answers the following question: “How many artifacts have been created this day/week/month?".
• Distribution charts: this chart shows the current distribution of various test case properties or custom field values.
• Time-series: a time-series chart shows changes for a specific entity type over a selected period of time.

Let's have a closer look at each of the widgets available:

• Single Value: Test Cases Count
