Analytics Dashboards (Widgets)

Dashboards allow you to create custom analytics views using company-wide data from the Global Analytics overview. Each dashboard is a customizable grid of widgets designed to track specific metrics or organize analytics by categories such as priority, test type, or milestones.

An empty dashboard page will be created and added to your dashboard list. You can now begin adding widgets tailored to your tracking goals.

The user who creates a dashboard is designated as its owner. Since dashboards belong to the company, all members with access to the company can view them.

A widget is built based on two parameters: a data source that decides which metric to load, and a visualization that decides how to draw it. The same data source can be rendered in multiple chart styles. For example, success rate by date works as a bar chart, a timeline, or a table.

To add a widget:

  1. Open your dashboard page, click the Edit button.
  2. Click Add Widget button.
  3. Choose a Data Source. Each option includes a short description and a list of compatible visualizations.
  4. Select your preferred Visualization type
  5. Enter a Widget Title (not required).
  6. Save the widget. It appears on the grid and loads its data.

Each data source supports a subset of different visualizations. The form shows only the ones that fit the data you picked.

VisualizationWhat it shows
Single valueOne headline number, such as total automated tests.
Bar chart / multi-bar chartValues compared across categories or projects.
Pie chart / multi-pie chart / circle (donut) chartA breakdown as parts of a whole, such as passed, failed, and skipped.
TimelineA metric plotted over time, to see trends.
TableRaw rows, such as per-project or per-priority figures.
Project statsA full card for one project: test counts, automation rate, success rate, and defects by priority.
Run statsA summary of run outcomes.
Partial totalA progress indicator showing part of a total, such as executed versus planned.
Milestone viewsLayouts for a milestone’s run stats, tests, plans, and requirements.

You can set or change the Default View for a widget in two ways:

  1. During widget creation: Choose the default view within the widget configuration modal.

OR

  1. After creation: Open Edit mode on the dashboard page and adjust the view directly on the widget card.

Data sources fall into a few groups. Choose a data source based on the key metrics you need to analyze.

GroupData sourcesAnswers
Test countsAutomated tests, manual tests, all tests - each also available per projectHow many tests exist and how automation is split
Run trendsSuccess rate by date, automation rate by date, test runs by dateHow outcomes and automation change over
Priority and statusRun results by priority and status, failed runs by priorityWhere failures concentrate by priority
SummariesProject stats, run statsA full picture of one project or run
MilestonesMilestone completion, milestone run stats, milestone tests, plans, and requirementsProgress against a milestone

Dashboards use a 12-column grid and it allows you to shape the layout directly on the page.

Customize the layout

  1. Click Edit on the dashboard page.
  2. Move: Click and drag a widget by its header.
  3. Resize: Drag the edges or corners of a widget.
  4. Click ‘Done’ to save your layout.

A widget can span from one column up to the full width of the grid, a wide trend chart and a narrow counter can sit on the same row.

After saving the layout, you can quickly switch visualization types directly from the widget header options without entering full edit mode.

Filters can be applied at the Dashboard level (affecting all widgets) or at the Widget level (affecting an individual widget).

  • Date range - restrict run-based metrics to a period.
  • Projects - limit analytics to one or more projects in the company.
  • Tags and labels - narrow to tests that carry a tag or a label value (e.g., @smoke, Priority: High).
  • Environments - focus on a specific test environment (e.g., Staging, Production).
  • Jira issues - focus on tests linked to specific issues.
  • Suites and folders - limit to part of the test tree.
  • Milestones - scope data to a milestone.

Available filter values (tags, labels, environments, suites) are dynamically populated from all accessible projects across your company.

  1. Click Filter icon in the top-right corner on the Dashboard page.
  2. Configure your filter criteria. The selected filters will instantly apply to all widgets on the board.
