Configurations

This article provides details on Global Configurations that are available to a qTest Site Administrator.

The Configurations page allows you to set global time settings for your qTest instance, as well as generate Insights dashboard tokens to share dashboards with a URL. 

How to Get Here

Navigate to Site Administration, and select the Configurations tab.

Generate an Insights Dashboard Token

  1. Locate the Insights section of the window.  

  2. Select the Generate button to create a new, secure Dashboard Token.

    At any time you can generate a new, secure Dashboard Token that will replace the previously created Dashboard Token. The new token will be used by qTest to generate a shareable URL.

    • Green circle icon = Dashboard Token is active

    • Gray circle icon = Dashboard Token is expired

  3. The Expiration Date default is 90 days from token generation. However, you can change it to another expiration date using the drop-down.

  4. Select Save.

    A Dashboard URL generated before the Insights 1.15.6 release will continue to work until the dashboard's expiration date.

Fresh Installs for 9.5.3 Elasticsearch will be automatically enabled. 
Upgrades to 9.5.3 By default, the previously used Hibernate Search will be selected. You must migrate to Elasticsearch.

Limit Test Cases Linked to Requirement

By default, you can link a maximum of 100 Test Cases to one requirement in a single operation. To link more Test Cases than the limit, you need to use multiple operations. Alternatively, you can have your administrator set a higher limit in the Maximum Number of Test Cases field.

Re-sync Jira connections

If your Jira integration stops syncing updates with qTest, use the Sync Jira Connections button to force start a sync for all requirements, defects, and releases in all of your projects.

Before you use this option, make sure you have an active project with a working Jira connection. Avoid using this button more than once a day, as syncing multiple projects can take a varying amount of time.

You can still resync data from individual projects, if you need to.
