Dashboard Panels

Extended History Report

OVERVIEW

This Panel allows the user to view the results in the Line/Bar/Stack charts in two aspects i.e. Accumulated and Non-Accumulated formats. It allows the user to refine the panel results based on work items Filter and aggregation type. It helps in accessing and controlling the digital information that we need to execute or analyze a project effectively and efficiently.

Accumulated check – It groups all the data till the selected period for a particular Status.

Accumulated uncheck – It does not group and shows the data for a particular Status at a particular time.

  • The line chart displays non-accumulated data, illustrating that there were 2 test cases in the 8th month with a status of “In Writing Process.” and there were 3 test cases with the same status in the 9th month.
  • The bar chart displays accumulated data, showing that there were 6 test cases with a status of “In Writing Process” in the 8th month. This total includes the count of test cases from previous months. In the 9th month, there were 9 test cases with the same status, which is the sum of the 6 test cases from earlier 8th month plus 3 additional test cases of this month.

In the current 9th month, if we update the status of 2 test cases from “In Writing Process” to another status, there will be only 1 test case remaining with the status of “In Writing Process.” This is how the report appears now.
