New Features

Pull Site-level Custom Fields

Insights provide ability to Build custom reports based on custom fields which user created from qTest Manager.

Please note that Insights supports cross-projects reports, so Insights only pulls site-level custom fields from qTest Manager. Your custom fields should be set up at site level in order to be pulled.

See the Site Fields for Versions Earlier than 9.3 in for a step by step guide on setting up site level fields for your qTest projects.

New Scheduler

This Release introduces enhancements to the Insights Report Scheduler which replaces the main one is that it currently uses Greenwich Mean Time and not local time. To address this, we have implemented a new report scheduler to make sharing reports more reliable.

"Migration" steps

The user will need to choose to move from old to new. In Saved Reports the user will see a prompt message to migrate. Users will not have to do this right away and can continue to use the old scheduler. However, once they click to migrate then all the old schedules will be migrated automatically, after which they will only use the new scheduler.

Navigate to New Scheduler

Select option "Schedule" to open the new schedule dialog.

Some notes of the new scheduler

All new accounts will only use the new scheduler
The new scheduler has addressed the issue with timezone. The report now can be sent by user timezone which defined in qTest Manager, instead of always UTC
The user can customize the title of the scheduled report. It will be the email subject instead of always be "qTest Insights Report Delivery" as current.
Validation on fields of the Schedule dialog to prevent issues with special characters
New Scheduler has all the same features as the old scheduler, except for one type which is certain numerical weekday of the month(s). For example: "the 1st Monday of November and December"

Color consistency across Insights and Manager

This is an enhancement to prebuilt charts about Defect status and Test Run Latest Result to ensure Colors are consistent across Insights and Manager.

Color of Defect status and Test Run Latest Result can be set up differently in different projects of a site in qTest Manager. Color set which is used in most projects of a site will be applied to Insights charts.

If a status color is not defined from Manager, Insights will randomly select a color for it.

Shared Dashboard URL - outsider not to see data of all projects

The Shared dashboard URL now limits user who does not have qTest account to only see data projects of the admin who has generated the URL.

For example:

Given a site with 10 projects and admin A assigned to 3 projects. When admin A generates the direct URL to shared dashboard:

Before: An outsider accesses the URL will see data of all 10 projects of the site
Now (after this release): An outsider accesses the URL will see data of 3 projects of admin A

Existing Shared Dashboard URL will no longer work, so you will see empty URL (as following screenshot). You need to generate a new URL.

Create New Dashboard

Besides using the built-in dashboards (Shared and Personal ones as mentioned in the previous section), the user also has the ability to create multiple dashboards.

Click "Create Dashboard", a new blank untitled dashboard will be created.
Add panels you want into this blank dashboard
Name the dashboard

Action on a user-created Dashboard:

Rename: Name your dashboard
Duplicate: Copy a dashboard
Delete: Delete a dashboard
New: Create a new blank dashboard

Save Dashboard with Filters

Open a dashboard, from the slide-out Global Filter, click "Save with Filters" button. Your dashboard with its current filter will be saved into a version which we call a "Saved with Filters" dashboard

This feature is useful when you want to create many versions of the same dashboard for different projects, each with different filters applied.

Manage Dashboards

There are 3 sections in Manage page.

Available Dashboards: To manage all user-created dashboards
Saved with Filters/ Personal: Personal Saved-with-Filters dashboards
Saved with Filters/ Shared: Shared Saved-with-Filters dashboards

Manage dashboard:

Show in Menu: This option is only available for user-created dashboards and shared Saved-with-filters dashboards.
Share Dashboard: Share a personal saved-with-filters dashboard
View Dashboard: open the dashboard in a new tab
Rename Dashboard: rename the dashboard
Delete Dashboard: Delete a dashboard. If you delete a dashboard which has associated saved-with-filters versions, the saved dashboards will also be deleted.

Time data in Insights now follows user timezone

This Release introduce an enhancement to all date time fields in Insights. Insights now display local time (which user has configured in Manager) instead of Greenwich Mean Time.

Add Week option into custom report

When you select a Date field from "Label Column" drop down, you now will see one more option to create custom report by "Week"
