Using HP ALM widgets with Rational CLM dashboards

The Rational Adapter for HP ALM includes several predefined widgets that you can add to a CLM dashboard to view HP ALM data alongside widgets for other Rational artifacts. You can add widgets to your product, team, or personal dashboard.

You must specify a project for the widget to report on and can also configure the appearance of the widget. You can create separate widgets for multiple projects. Because they retrieve data from HP ALM, you may be asked to log in to the HP ALM server when you set up a widget or refresh its contents.

Several of the predefined widgets display HP ALM information filtered through Favorite views, which are configured in HP ALM.

The following tables list and describe the HP ALM widgets.
