Home page overview

Your home page uses the Jazz™ dashboard. A dashboard gives an overview of project information and allows easy access to more complete information. You can drill down to get information on specific test artifacts or reports.
You can use dashboards in a variety of ways:
  • Test managers can track project health and trends at a glance
  • Team leads can track team progress and balance workload
  • Testers can track their workloads

Dashboards have a title and one or more page tabs. Page tabs have one to three columns. Columns contain basic building blocks, called viewlets. Viewlets are rectangular widgets in Jazz dashboards that perform a useful function.

When logging into Rational® Quality Manager, your home page opens and displays your dashboard. The default dashboard includes several viewlets:
  • Welcome
  • My Tasks
  • Defect Arrival Resolution
  • Requirement Coverage Status
  • Live Execution Status
  • Execution Trend Report
  • Tester report

Depending on your role, you may want to add particular viewlets that represent your information needs, while removing those that you do not find useful. The dashboard can be easily customized many times over the course of a project.
