Hello,
I am looking for a widget which could show the test results of the daily run..I found no other way than configuring the "actual end date" = today, but this is even not automatic, so it should be manually changed every day. Without putting a date the dashboards show only the latest execution, which could be maybe 2 years ago so it's not a real indicator.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ezio
Hi Ezio,
Sadly, this has been an issue for a long time. I can't suggest a workaround in Scale for the widget as it's a black-box on the dashboard, but if you run it as a report, you can at least access the date field criteria in the URL and that opens up a couple of options:
1. Quick & dirty = Bookmark the report > amend the date field in the URL each day
2. I've not done this but it should work in theory: Copy the URL into a spreadsheet to create your own 'today' link that you run from within Excel. For example:
> Cut the URL string into 3 portions to separate the date field into its own column
> Add a formula to replace the date portion with a today() solution
> Concatenate the columns to create your own URL hyperlink
| Column A | Column B | Column C | Column D |
| start of URL | DATE FIELD | end of URL | |
| Copy | replace with a today() type formula | Copy | Concatenated A+B+C |
3. Script a bookmarklet that replaces the date field with a today() value and runs as a bookmark in your browser.
