This post is for users with subscription or workspace level administration permissions.Have you ever wondered in which projects your custom fields are visible or where they are hidden?
We just released 2 new custom field report options, which can be accessed in Rally's administrative area: Workspaces & Projects.
Export custom field usage for workspace
This report can be generated for a specific custom field and work item type across the workspace.
You can access this report from the project level field editor here:
Here is a snippet of an example report:
Report Information
-
- Project ID
- Project Name
- Level
- workspace level setting (workspace level settings displayed in top row)
- project level setting (report lists only projects with visibility settings that differ from the workspace setting)
- State
- Open or Closed (please note that the current visibility count displayed in the app is for open projects only)
- Work Item Type
- work item type for which custom field report was generated
- Custom Field Name
- Visibility
In addition you can also generate a similar report that will export all customs fields across all work item types for the entire workspace.
Export Workspace Custom Fields (All Types)
You can find this report in the following places:
- Workspace --> fields
- Project --> fields
Here is a snippet of an example report:
Report Information
-
- Project ID
- Project Name
- Level
- workspace level setting (workspace level settings displayed in top row)
- project level setting (report lists only projects with visibility settings that differ from the workspace setting)
- State
- Open or Closed (please note that the current visibility count displayed in the app is for open projects only)
- Work Item Type
- work item type for which custom field report was generated
- for this report you will see entries for all work item types, not just a specific one
- Custom Field Name
- for this report you will see entries for all custom field, not just a specific one
- Visibility
Generating the workspace level report for all custom fields across all work item types might take a little. You can continue to work in Rally while you wait for the CSV file to load. Navigating away from. this screen will not stop the report generation.
Please note that the number of rows in the report will not match the number currently listed in the app for project level visible/hidden setting.
- the report contains closed projects while the displayed count in the app is based on open projects only
- wording for the in-app display will get updated
- the report show a workspace level setting that accounts for all projects that match the visibility settings of the workspace
- only projects with a setting that differs from the workspace level setting will show as a unique row in the report
Please let us know if you have any questions.
