Use filters to focus a Vansah reporting gadget on the testing data you need. For example, combine Priorities: High with Case Types: Functional to report on high-priority Functional Test Cases in the selected reporting scope.
Before you begin
You need access to the Jira dashboard and permission to configure its gadgets.
Choose the Jira space and the Test Folders, work items, or Test Plans that the gadget should report on.
The available filters depend on the gadget, selected Jira spaces, and enabled Vansah settings.
Add filters to a gadget
Open the Jira dashboard and find the Vansah gadget.
Open the gadget’s more options menu and select Configure. Enable dashboard editing first if your Jira layout requires it.
Review the selected Jira space and reporting scope.
Select More + to choose the filter fields you want to use.
Open each selected field and choose its values. Adding a field alone does not choose a value for it.
Select the gadget’s Save button to save the configuration and load the report.
To change the configuration later, reopen Configure. Review the saved values after changing the selected Jira space, because space-specific choices can be reset.
Common filter choices
Filter | Use it to focus on |
Priorities | Test Cases with the selected priority, such as High. |
Case Types | Test Cases with a type configured in the selected Jira space, such as Functional. |
Assignees and Owners | The people assigned to or responsible for the Test Cases. |
Labels and Components | Test Cases associated with the selected labels or Jira components, when enabled. |
Test Environments, Releases, and Sprints | Testing data associated with the chosen Test Run properties, where the gadget supports them. |
Tested Date | The supported testing date range. This field is available only in gadgets that provide it. |
Other fields | Configured Jira custom fields offered by the gadget. |
Select values from your own Jira space. A filter field may be unavailable until you select a space or enable the related Vansah setting.
Example: High-priority Functional Test Cases
Configure the gadget and choose the Test Folders, work items, or Test Plans you want to report on.
Open More + and select Priorities and Case Types.
Open Priorities and select High.
Open Case Types and select Functional.
Review the selected values, then select the gadget’s Save button.
The screenshot shows the priority selector. It has both Highest and High selected; select only High if that is the scope you need.
Reuse a Vansah saved filter
In the gadget configuration, select the filter icon beside More +.
Choose an existing Vansah saved filter.
Review the applied fields and values, and adjust them for this report if needed.
Select the gadget’s Save button.
When one Jira space is selected and filter values have been chosen, Save Filter is available to store a reusable filter. Saving that filter and saving the gadget configuration are separate actions.
Vansah saved Test Case filters are separate from Jira saved work item filters. To choose Jira work items using a query, see Filter Gadget Work Items with JQL.
Change or remove filters
Open a selected field to change its values.
Select the × beside a field to remove that filter.
Select Clear All, when shown, to clear the additional filter selections. This does not replace reviewing the gadget’s Jira space and reporting scope.
Select the gadget’s Save button after making changes.
If the report is empty or unexpected
Check the selected Jira space and the Test Folders, work items, or Test Plans being reported on.
Remove filters one at a time to identify which condition excludes the expected data.
Check that the chosen Test Case values and Test Run properties exist in the selected scope.
After applying a saved filter, review every selected value before saving the gadget.
Reopen Configure to confirm the saved settings, then refresh or reload the gadget.
