Apply Filters

Use filters to limit the records that a column returns. You can apply multiple filters with different conditions to a column.

Apply All Filters:

The Apply All Filters setting controls whether the system uses the filters that you create for a column.

  • When On the system applies all filters that you create for the column.

  • When Off the system does not apply the filters to the column.

Add a Filter Condition

To add a filter condition to a column, do the following:

Other

Opens a query editor for the column with its relevant statement. Apply operators and functions to the statement.

In the query editor, the following function categories are available.

Category

Description

Math

Performs mathematical operations. For example, use Sum to calculate a total, such as the Actual Execution Time of test cases.

Date

Works with date values. For example, Created Date contains both a date and a time stamp. To convert it to a date, use the DATE function.

Text

Works with text columns. For example, to display Test Case Priority in uppercase, apply a text function to the column.

Logic

Applies conditions to a column. For example, to count the test cases that have no assignee, apply a logic function to the column.

The query editor also provides Convert and Miscellaneous functions.

Move to Pile

Use Move to Pile to hide a column from the report. The system performs the operation on the column but does not display the column in the report.

Remove

Use Remove to remove a column from an attribute, for example, the Cross Tab attribute. The system does not consider the removed column when it generates the report.

For example, when you select Remove on the Test Case Priority column, the system no longer includes that column in the report.

Remove All

Use Remove All to remove all columns from an attribute, for example, the Data attribute of a chart. The removed columns are also unavailable in the View More list.
