Analytics Grids
This topic explains about the Analytics grids in Agility.
Overview
Analytic Grids expand on the Quicklist reports available in the core Digital.ai Agility application. In addition to Quicklist features such as customization, filtering, sorting, and exporting; Analytic Grids give you the ability to group data and aggregate values and provides support for charts and cross tabulation tables. Finally, grid configuration can be saved and shared across the organization.
Analytic Grids are available for portfolio items, stories or backlog items, defects, test sets, tasks, tests, effort, and backlog matrix.

Backlog Matrix
The Backlog Matrix presents a multidimensional view of Backlog Items, Defects, and TestSets.
Each bar chart in the grid only includes the data represented by the row and column intersection. Using the controls at the top of the page, you can control: the x- and y- axes of the Bar chart, the aggregate function used to determine the bar height, the row and column grouping and you can filter the data presented.
Clicking on any chart opens a larger view of that chart.
Clicking on the Details button, presents a table of the data that can be exported to Microsoft Excel.
Please note that Text Fields are not available in Analytic Grids. We do not display text fields on Grids because they are not trended over time and we use an AsOf date on the grids to look across time.
