You may need to get the report that groups and aggregates the output results. This article explains how to achieve this using XSLT.
Built-in reports in Spira may not have included Tags column in the grid by default.This can be easily fixed by cloning standard report and slightly editing it.
You may need to create a report of Tasks with their folders. From Spira v8.3 it is now possible to display the name of the folder, just like it can be done for Test Cases and Test Sets
To save space in the various SpiraTest, SpiraPlan and SpiraTeam reports, the default report templates use the format xxxxx. Often times it will be required to display a different date format either across the entire report or in part of the report. This article describes how to change the date format in one of the standard reports by changing the XSLT template used to generate the report.
This article explains how to get the most recent comment and add it as a column for an artifact summary report (if it is not already displayed).
By default Spira displays duration values in hours formatted as 0.00 number. If you wish to format these values as hhh:mm:ss then you need to change the XSLT in a custom report.
Within the standard reports included with SpiraTeam (Test/Plan), some words exist, such as the 3-letter month abbreviations. These items are in English, even if you have chosen a different language for your Spira user interface. The report templates can be edited to change these words to a different language. This article explains how to do that.
In one of the training sessions on reporting, a request came up on how data in the XSLT can be sorted similar to ordering results using the ORDER BY clause in ESQL. Both ESQL and XSLT offer its own power which is beyond the scope of this article. But, this article explains a simple way to sort the folders and the tasks in these folders by filtering out the tasks in the root folder and filtering tasks that do not have a name filled in.
A customer wanted to know the way to correctly format their reports so that they would look correctly in HTML and MS-Word in terms of the headings.
In our standard requirements traceability report, we display a list of test cases associated with the current requirement. However for parent requirements (Epics) that have child requirements that map to test cases, they are don't display the child requirements' test cases. This article explains how you can modify the report to include them.
A customer asked us if it was possible to create a version of the requirements traceability report that would not display each of the individual mapped test cases, but instead would give summary counts by priority.
We often get enquiries from customers looking to customize some of the reports in Spira. Although our support does not generally extend to writing such reports for customers (we have consultants and partners who would be happy to do it as a service), in this article we explain a common situation that we get asked about.
We had a potential customer that was looking to generate simplified test result reports from SpiraTeam that had more details for each of the executed test steps, with full size screenshots displayed, rather than the small table cells that are in the small reports. This article contains an example of such a report.
In the standard reports that come with SpiraTeam, we have the 'Detailed' reports that are designed to include a primary artifact (e.g. requirements) and then include tables that display lists of related items (e.g. Tasks, Incidents, etc.). By default, we only show some of the fields in these tables. This article explains how to display the value of specific custom fields in the tables when you customize the standard reports.
