Hi Andy,
Sort of - we are keen to use the dashboards. We'd like to have a widget that shows each tester their personal status on test cases in progress, complete, not started etc. The idea was to use the Zypher widgets but I couldn't work out how to make a custom filter that uses the current user. Any suggestions?
Hi David,
I don't think it's possible to do what you want in the way that you want - there's no current user option that I know of. There's also a similar useful function that's missing for Today() when using reports and dashboards which I hope to see in a future release.
Some alternative ideas:
- 1. Create a Test Execution Results (Summary) report for each tester using the Custom Query option, and setting Test Execution > Assigned to IN [tester]. You then run the report, copy the URL and share that with the tester so they can run each time. This is only OK if you have a small test team of course. You can do the same with other Test Execution reports if you prefer the look of those.
- 2. Use the Test Cycles page as a dashboard. You would have to help the test team setup their Cycles page to have the relevant columns (the URL scenario will not work here), but once done, they can hover their mouse over their cycles to see execution progress.
- 3. Use the Export Dataset option and build your own report in Excel. This is the most effort but if you're good with Excel, it can also be the most granular reporting option available.
Hope that helps.

You can however use the Cycles page which I find is useful as a dashboard report to
