Report format and presentation reference for Quick Report

Quick Reports provide table, bar chart, line chart, and pie chart common report formats.
Note: The sample reports provided with Quick Report do not contain any data. To see report data, you must first create projects and run jobs in the Management Console.
Table report format
Samples
To see a sample table report, in Quick Report, select the SampleAnalytic-StepDuration report.
To see presentation options, select the Edit icon Edit icon for the SampleAnalytic-StepDuration report.
Requirements
For tables, observe the following requirements:
Report fields
In the Report Field, select one or more table columns for the report.
Note: The order of the fields is important in the selection list.
The first field will be the first table column, and the last field will be the last table column. The first table column is also used to group report results.
To experiment with report fields, select the Edit icon Edit icon for the Sample Analytic-StepDuration report, and do the following:
  1. In the selection list, change the field order.
  2. Save your selections.
  3. Run the report to see the change in the table column order.
Group fields
You have the option of selecting a field from the Group field. The field you select is added as a tree control to the first table column, which is used to group report results. You can select multiple group fields, or a group field that is not displayed as a table column.
To experiment with grouping, select the Edit icon Edit icon for the SampleAnalytic-StepDuration report, and do the following:
  1. Select the Project Name as the group field.
  2. Save your selections.
  3. Run the report.

As a result, a tree node for the Project Name is added to the Build Tag column.

Sort fields
You have the option of selecting table columns including data that can be sorted, in the Sort field. Use arrows to specify sort direction. The up arrow ascending sort arrow sorts data in ascending order lowest to highest, and the down arrow descending sort arrow sorts data in descending order highest to lowest.
To experiment with sorting, select the Edit icon Edit icon for the SampleAnalytic-StepDuration report, and do the following:
  1. Select the Project Name as the sort field, using arrows to specify sort direction.
  2. Save your selections.
  3. Run the report.
Bar chart report format
Samples
To see a sample bar chart in Quick Report, select the SampleCapacity-RunTimeByProject report.
To see presentation options, select the Edit icon Edit icon for the SampleCapacity-RunTimeByProject report.
Vertical chart element (y-axis)
Select one field for the data value (y-axis) that you want to compare for a set of data elements (x-axis). The field name and the data value units are displayed on the vertical or y-axis of the chart .
Note: Only one field can be selected as the vertical chart element.
Horizontal chart element (x-axis)
Select one field for the data element set (x-axis) that you want to compare using the data value (y-axis). The field name is displayed as the x-axis label.
Data values are displayed on bar columns equivalent to the bar column height.
Note: Only one field can be selected as the horizontal chart element.
Group fields
As an option, you can group data elements on the horizontal or x-axis of the chart, by selecting a group field.
Requirements
For charts, observe the following requirements:
Examples:
To experiment with bar charts, try creating the following reports:
  • Step report type: For each Step Name x-axis compare the Percent Steps Failed y-axis, and group results by the Build Tag.
  • Capacity report type: For each Project x-axis compare the Last Build Duration y-axis, and group results by Project Name.
  • Resource report type: You can compare the Build Duration Times y-axis for each Build Tag x-axis , and group the Build Tags by Project Name.
Line chart report format
Description
A line chart displays the progression of data over time, or for a sequence of events. The default grouping field is the x-axis report field. If you select multiple grouping fields, multiple lines are displayed in the report.
Samples
To see a sample line chart in Quick Report, select the SampleResource-DurationOverTime report.
To see presentation options, select the Edit icon Edit icon for the SampleResource-DurationOverTime report.
Vertical chart element y-axis
Select one field for the data value y-axis that you want to compare for a set of data elements x-axis. The field name and data value units are displayed on the y-axis chart.
Note: Only one field can be selected as the vertical chart element.
Horizontal chart element x-axis
Select one field for the data element set x-axis that you want to compare using the data value y-axis. The field name is displayed as the label for the x-axis chart.
Data values for x-axis data elements are displayed next to a dot equaling their value on the y-axis. A continuous line connects the dots to form the line chart.
Note: Only one field can be selected as the horizontal chart element.
Group fields
As an option, you can group data elements on the horizontal or x-axis chart, by selecting a group field. The default grouping field is the x-axis report field. If you select multiple grouping fields, multiple lines are displayed in the report.
Requirements
For charts, observe the following guidelines:
Examples
To experiment with line charts, try creating the following reports:
  • Step report type: For each Build Tag x-axis, display the Step Duration y-axis and group results by the Step Name.
  • Build report: For each Build Start Time x-axis, display the Duration y-axis and group results by Project Name.
  • Capacity report type: For each Build Tag x-axis, display the Build Duration y-axis times and group results by Server Name.
Pie chart report format
Y-series element
Select a field for the data value of the pie chart. The wedge size represents the data value. The field name and data value units are displayed on the pie chart.
Note: Only one field can be selected as the y-series element.
X-series element
Select a field for the data element set x-series that you want to evaluate using the data value y-series. The number of wedges represents the number of data elements.
Note: Only one field can be selected as the x-series element.
Group fields
A group is required for the pie chart. The x-series element is used as the default group. Selecting a different group generates another pie chart for the data value y-series.
Requirements
For charts, observe the following guidelines:
Examples
To experiment with pie charts, try creating the following reports:
  • Project report type: Select the Failed Step Count y-series and the Step Name as the x-series.
  • Capacity report type: Select the Build Average Duration y-series and the Project Name x-series.
  • Analytic report type: Select the Step Duration y-series and the Step Name x-series and group by Step Name.
