Xray Tables Filtering

 

SAP Analytics Cloud Connector for Jira offers GLOBAL and LOCAL filters:

  • MODIFIED FROM

  • TEST TYPE

  • TESTS

  • TEST EXECUTIONS

  • TEST RUN ASSIGNEES

 

If you apply the MODIFIED FROMfilter, it will be applied to all Xray tables. If the filter is not needed for a specific table, you can deselect it individually for each table.

 

There are also JQL and Basic filters available to apply. Unlike the MODIFIED FROM filter, JQL and Basic filters are applied to the Jira issue itself. The MODIFIED FROMfilter is applied to Xray fields.

 

As per linking tables, JQL or Basic filter is applied to the main table only. All linking tables are marked with the link icon .

 

The TEST TYPE filter allows selecting the specific type of tests for export: Manual, Generic, or Cucumber. You can select only one type at once.

 

The TEST filter allows selecting the specific test(s) for export.

The TEST EXECUTIONS filter allows selecting the specific test execution(s) for export.

The TEST RUN ASSIGNEE filter allows selecting the certain test run(s) for export performed by a specific user (assignee).

 

If you need to export test runs for specific tests, simply select them using the Tests filter.

 

If the specific tests you need to export are already grouped within a single test execution, just select that test execution using the Test Executions filter. You can select a few test executions.

 

If you need to export test runs assigned to a specific user, select their name in the Test Run Assignees filter. You can select a few assignees.
