QMetry System Reports
Note
QMetry System Reports module is visible only if you have View rights for Report. You can make changes within the module only if you have the Modify rights for Report.
QMetry System Reports are default built-in reports designed according to globally recognized QA best practices. The System Reports offer valuable insights to help teams monitor and evaluate testing performance, efficiency, and outcomes.
Global Filters
The System Dashboard supports Global Filters, allowing you to view and apply common (i.e. shared) filters across all gadgets directly from the top of the dashboard. Instead of configuring filters for each gadget individually, you can set shared filters that apply to all gadgets.
However, you still have the flexibility to configure unique filters for individual gadgets. If the global filters differ from those set on the gadget, the system displays an indication.
Note
Only filters that are common across all gadgets added to a dashboard appears in the Global Filter section.
If a user accesses the dashboard via an embedded URL without co-owner permissions, the user can only view common dashboard filters with the applied settings and do not have the ability to modify the filters.
Here’s how Global Filters Function:
 |
When you apply a global filter, it overrides the current filters on all gadgets.
Any previously applied filters at the gadget level that are not part of the common Global Filter are not retained. You must manually reselect those filters if needed.
You can edit the global and unique filters at the gadget level.
You can save global or unique filters based on their preferences.
You can select only one project at a time if a folder-level filter is available in the global filters section.

Messages for Filter Configuration
If you modify the Common filter field values at the gadget level and they differ from the Global filter field values, a badge appears at the gadget level displaying the message: "This gadget uses different filters that don't align with global filters."
If no common filters are shared across the gadgets on the dashboard, the message "There is no common filter available across all gadgets" appears on the screen in place of the global filters.

Manage Jira Fields Visibility in System Gadgets
Note
When integrating Jira projects into QMetry through the Projects, integration screen, users with project modification rights, can hide certain fields for security reasons.
 |
If a Jira field is marked as hidden, the system doesnot display any report gadgets containing that field. This is to ensure data confidentiality. The system sends a message notifying about the field’s visibility settings.
 |
The system reports affected by a Jira field’s visibility status include:
My Dashboard: Issues Count, Uncovered Requirements
Requirements Report: Requirement Coverage, Requirements with or without Issues, Planned Requirements, Requirement Summary
Issue Analysis Report: Issue Summary, Issue Count by Status & Priority, Issue Velocity Compared to Requirements, Resolved Issue Verification, Issue Velocity compared to Test Cases executed report
Top Issues Report: Top Issues Report
Execution Summary Report: Issue Summary
Manage Jira Fields Visibility in Tabular System Reports
In tabular system reports, if you use a hidden external field in the gadget filter, the system dies not display the report and data. It sends the same notification as above.
If the hidden field is not part of the filter but appears as a column in the gadget, you can view the report data. However, the hidden column is displayed as "not mapped for syncing." Please note that this only applies to tabular gadgets.
For example, if the admin hides the 'label' field in the Projects > Integration screen.
 |
The 'label' field is not available as a filter option for the Top Issues Report.
The column value shows "not mapped for syncing." This happens because the 'label' field is not included as a filter for this report.
