Enhancements

Carousel Dashboard Gallery

The Dashboard Gallery now displays as a carousel at the bottom of the Dashboard screen for easier viewing of the chart panels. You can collapse/expand the Dashboard Gallery by selecting the Gallery tab.

Drag/Drop Panels

You have the ability to drag/drop panels from the carousel onto any dashboard (except the saved-with-filter dashboards, because the saved-with-filter dashboard is an uneditable saved version of its original dashboard.) Once a panel has been added to a dashboard, the panel will then be grayed out in the carousel as a visual indicator that the panel is applied to the displayed dashboard.

Panel Categories

All prebuilt panels are arranged into categories. There are 9 categories, some charts will be available in multiple categories. The panel categories are:

  • Automation

  • Coverage

  • Defects

  • Executive

  • Jira

  • Requirements

  • Sessions

  • Test Cases

  • Test Execution

Search Panels

You can search for panels by selecting 'All Panels' or by selecting the individual category name. The search field uses predictive text and will begin loading applicable panels.

Sort Panels

You have the option to sort the displayed panels by A-Z, Z-A, and  most recent. Select the icon to the right of the search field to change the sort display.
