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 assets 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.
