Reporting in TeamForge

Important: Unless otherwise stated, you must have datamart enabled on your site to create reports in TeamForge. Note that a few Distribution Reports use data from TeamForge's operational database.

You can specify the time at which the reporting data is refreshed from the production database. By default, the extraction takes place daily at 2:30 a.m. in the TeamForge application server's time zone. See Schedule Data Extraction for Reporting.

You can use reports to display data and group relevant information appropriately and specify intervals at which the datamart extracts TeamForge data from the datamart. For advanced reporting options and datamart information, see Advanced Reporting and Datamart Access.

You can also use external reporting tools to connect to the datamart and generate customized reports. See Datamart Access Using External Tools.

You can now refresh your reports to get the most recent data. You can also see the date and time when the report was last generated. Clicking the Refresh icon would fetch the latest available data from the respective data source (Operational DB or Datamart).

Reporting Framework​

Here's a list of some of the advantages of the new reporting framework:

  • Reporting under one umbrella with a central dashboard of reports.
  • Cross-project reporting capability.
  • Tracker custom defined fields are in datamart and can be used to filter.
  • You can query and write custom reports.
  • All data, including event, associations, and traceability data, can be queried through an elegant API for custom reporting and data extraction.
  • High charts-based interactive data visualization charts. You can hover over the charts to see data points, click legends in the chart to toggle specific data point in and out of the chart and so on.
  • You can drill one level down on some of the activity reports using column charts to get more clarity on the data points of your interest.
  • Categorization of reports.
  • Improved usability: Hassle free report creation with new widgets for selecting report criteria such as planning folders, trackers and repositories.
  • Ability to save 'Public' and 'Private' reports: While 'Public' reports are visible to all project members with view reports permission, 'Private' reports are only for your consumption. You cannot publish 'Private' reports in project pages.

Reports--Role Based Access Control​

In general, TeamForge site and project administrators, and users with tracker and task view permissions can see the REPORTS button on the project navigation bar.

  • Object-based access permissions - If you are a TeamForge user, your ability to create, edit, preview or view reports depends on whether you have permission to access specific objects such as trackers and repositories in TeamForge. For example, to generate a report on the number of SCM commits in a repository, you must have permission to access the repository. Otherwise, a message such as "You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation" is displayed.

  • Task and Tracker reports (Table reports) - Task and Tracker View permission is required to generate task and tracker reports. You must have View Activity permission or object-level permission to view Activity reports such as SCM Commits, Build Activity, Build and Test Activity, Artifact Created and Artifact Closed reports.

  • Context-sensitive access permission - Reports are shown or hidden from users based on the context. For example, a user must have View Project Page permission to view reports published on a project home page.

  • Deleting reports - Site and project administrators can delete reports. In addition, you can delete your own reports.

Reports Available in TeamForge​

Reports in TeamForge are grouped under the following categories.

Activity Reports​

Here's a list of TeamForge activity reports such as the SCM commits, artifact created and closed reports.

These are reports to track activities such as SCM commits, artifact creation and closure, build and test activities and so on.

The Release Burn Up Chart shows the work progress to date against the total planned work. This chart shows the total planned work, total work completed to date and the rate of progress (velocity).

important

You must have the planning folder's start and end dates defined to generate this chart.

This chart includes a trend line to show the planned work scope change between a release's start and end dates (in other words, the start and end dates of the release's planning folder). Optionally, you can also include a trend line in the chart that forecasts when planned work might be completed depending on the average rate of progress (velocity).

  13. Click Back to Reports List to go back to the Reports dashboard.

Burn Down Chart​

The Burn Down Chart shows your project's progress on a daily basis.

As work gets completed sprint-by-sprint for a release, your backlog tends to decrease. The burn down chart tells the story of how much work is left to be done versus how much time is left. With time along the X axis, the amount of work (backlog) measured in story points is on the Y axis. You can also see the average velocity per sprint in the release burn down chart.In addition to creating burn down charts by release, you can configure this report for a selected sprint planning folder to see its progress on a day-to-day basis.

  • The story told in your burn down chart is only as reliable as the underlying data.
  • You must have the planning folder's start and end dates defined to generate this chart.
  • You can have the POINTS field enabled or disabled for a tracker. If a release planning folder consists of both "points-enabled" and "points-disabled" trackers, the release burn down chart shows grey-colored bars for all sprints, meaning, there are work items without points estimation data. This is because, the "points-disabled" tracker work items are considered as unestimated backlog items as they don’t have points data. As a workaround, while configuring the release burn down chart, you can include "points-enabled" trackers alone to have the release burn down chart behave as expected.

Things to consider if you are generating burn down chart for a release planning folder

  • It is recommended to have all your sprint planning folders organized hierarchically within your release planning folder. Release burn down chart can be generated only if that planning folder has child (sprint) planning folders.

  • Within a selected release planning folder, all immediate child planning folders are considered as sprint planning folders.

  • The bar chart shows the work left to be done (estimated as points) on the first day of every sprint.

  • The release burn down calculation is based on (story) points and no effort data is considered. Meaning, the release burn down will not behave as expected if you have effort data alone and no points data.

Things to consider if you are generating burn down chart for a sprint planning folder

  • The sprint burn down calculation is based on remaining effort data and no (story) points data is considered. Meaning, the sprint burn down will not behave as expected if you have points data alone and no remaining effort data.

  • You can exclude weekends or specific days from your report if you are creating a burn down chart for a sprint planning folder.

  • The sprint burn down chart shows the number of tasks and hours remaining for a selected sprint planning folder.

    14. Click Next. A list of filters (such as category, status, reported in release, fixed in release and so on) for the selected trackers are shown. Select the filter values from the drop-down lists and click Create. Based on the criteria being selected for filtering, it returns the configured rows.

      The View Report page appears. The default value of the token MAX_REPORT_ROWS is set to '300' in site-options.conf file. For trackers with more than 300 artifacts, the tracker report is generated based on the criteria:

      • If you have selected a single tracker having more than 300 artifacts, the tracker report shows only the first 300 artifacts. To see all the artifacts in that tracker, click the Export button.

      • If you have selected multiple trackers with more than 300 artifacts in all, then the tracker report shows the artifacts based on the following calculation:

        No. of artifacts in report = MAX_REPORT_ROWS ÷ No. of selected trackers

      For example, if you have selected 3 trackers with more than 300 artifacts in all, the first 100 artifacts is displayed in the tracker report for each tracker. You can export the report for each tracker to view all the artifacts in it.

      important

      In a tracker report, when you select more than one value from a multi-select, user-defined field as filter and if an artifact is associated with all of the selected values, then that artifact's record is duplicated for each of the selected values.

      For example, assume that you have a 'Select User' multi-select, user-defined field with values 'User 1', 'User 2' and 'User 3' in a tracker report. All these three values are associated with 'artifact 1001'. Select all three values as filter and generate the tracker report. You will see 'artifact 1001' record being duplicated, that is, you will see three individual 'artifact 1001' records created for each of the three users.
