Quick Report provides several common report formats: tables,
bar charts, line charts, and pie charts.
Note: The sample reports provided with Quick Report do not contain
any data. To see report data, you must first create projects and run
jobs in the Management Console.
- Table report format
- Samples
- To see a sample table report, in Quick Report, select the SampleAnalytic-StepDuration report.
- To see presentation options, select the Edit icon
for the SampleAnalytic-StepDuration report.
- Requirements
- For tables, observe the following requirements:
- Report fields
- In the Report Field, select one or more fields to be table columns
in the report. In the selection list, order matters. The first field
will be the first table column, and the last field will be the last
table column. The first table column is also used to group report
results.
- To experiment with report fields, select the Edit icon
for the Sample Analytic-StepDuration report. In the selection
list, change the field order, save your selections, and run the report
to see the change in the table column order.
- Group fields
- In the Group field, optionally select a field to group table rows.
The group you select is added as a tree control to the first table
column, which is used to group report results. You can select multiple
group fields, and you can select a group field that is not displayed
as a table column.
- To experiment with grouping, select the Edit icon
for the SampleAnalytic-StepDuration report. Select the Project
Name as the group field, save your selections, and run the report.
A tree node for the Project Name is added to the Build Tag column.
- Sort fields
- In the Sort field, optionally select the table columns with data
to be sorted. Use arrows to specify sort direction. The up arrow
sorts data in ascending order
(lowest to highest), and the down arrow
sorts data in descending
order (highest to lowest).
- To experiment with sorting, select the Edit icon
for the SampleAnalytic-StepDuration report. Select the Project
Name as the sort field, use arrows to specify sort direction, save
your selections, and run the report.
- Bar chart report format
- Samples
- To see a sample bar chart, in Quick Report, select the SampleCapacity-RunTimeByProject report.
- To see presentation options, select the Edit icon
for the SampleCapacity-RunTimeByProject report.
- Vertical chart element (y-axis)
- Select one field to be the data value (y-axis) that you want to
compare for a set of data elements (x-axis). The field name and the
data value units are displayed on the chart's vertical or y-axis.
Only one field can be selected as the vertical chart element.
- Horizontal chart element (x-axis)
- Select one field to be the data element set (x-axis) that you
want to compare using the data value (y-axis). The field name is displayed
as the x-axis label.
- Data values are displayed on bar columns, and values equal the
bar column height. Only one field can be selected as the horizontal
chart element.
- Group fields
- You can optionally group data elements on the chart's horizontal
or x-axis by selecting a group field.
- Requirements
- For charts, observe the following requirements:
- Examples:
- To experiment with bar charts, try creating the following reports:
- For the Step report type, for each Step Name (x-axis), compare
the Percent Steps Failed (y-axis) and group results by the Build Tag.
- For the Capacity report type, for each Project (x-axis), compare
the Last Build Duration (y-axis) and group results by Project Name.
- For the Resource report type, compare the Build Duration Times
(y-axis) for each Build Tag (x-axis) and group the Build Tags by Project
Name.
- Line chart report format
- Description
- A line chart shows a progression of data over time or for a sequence
of events. The default grouping field is the x-axis report field.
If you select multiple grouping fields, multiple lines are displayed
in the report.
- Samples
- To see a sample line chart, in Quick Report, select the SampleResource-DurationOverTime report.
- To see presentation options, select the Edit icon
for the SampleResource-DurationOverTime report.
- Vertical chart element (y-axis)
- Select one field to be the data value (y-axis) that you want to
compare for a set of data elements (x-axis). The field name and data
value units are displayed on the chart's y-axis. Only one field can
be selected as the vertical chart element.
- Horizontal chart element (x-axis)
- Select one field to be the data element set (x-axis) that you
want to compare using the data value (y-axis). The field name is displayed
as the label for the chart's x-axis.
- Data values for x-axis data elements are displayed beside a dot
equaling their value on the y-axis. A continuous line connects the
dots to form the line chart. Only one field can be selected as the
horizontal chart element.
- Group fields
- You can optionally group data elements on the chart's horizontal
or x-axis by selecting a group field. The default grouping field is
the x-axis report field. If you select multiple grouping fields, multiple
lines are displayed in the report.
- Requirements
- For charts, observe the following guidelines:
- Examples
- To experiment with line charts, try creating the following reports:
- For the Step report type, for each Build Tag (x-axis), show the
Step Duration (y-axis) and group results by the Step Name.
- For the Build report, for each Build Start Time (x-axis), show
the Duration (y-axis) and group results by Project Name.
- For the Capacity report type, for each Build Tag (x-axis), show
the Build Duration (y-axis) times and group results by Server Name.
- Pie chart report format
- Y-series element
- Select one field to be the data value of the pie chart. The wedge
size represents the data value. The field name and data value units
are displayed on the pie chart. Only one field can be selected as
the y-series element.
- X-series element
Select one field to be the data element
set (x-series) that you want to evaluate using the data value (y-series).
The number of wedges represents the number of data elements. Only
one field can be selected as the x-series element.
- Group fields
- A group is required for the pie chart. The x-series element is
used as the default group. Selecting a different group generates another
pie chart for the data value (y-series).
- Requirements
- For charts, observe the following guidelines:
- Examples
- To experiment with pie charts, try creating the following reports:
- For the Project report type, select the Failed Step Count (y-series)
and the Step Name as the (x-series).
- For the Capacity report type, select the Build Average Duration
(y-series) and the Project Name (x-series).
- For the Analytic report type, select the Step Duration (y-series)
and the Step Name (x-series) and group by Step Name.
