This group of pre-built reports generates a list of defects that meet certain requirements. Currently it includes the following review list reports:
-
All Defects - List of all defects from all reviews.
-
My Recent Defects - List of defects you created recently.
-
My Open Defects - List of defects you created and that are still open.
Once you click on a report name, you will be directed to a page where you can configure the criteria for the defect reports.

This documentation uses the default names of defect fields, columns and options. On your Collaborator server this information may vary, depending on server configuration: display labels, role names, review custom fields and so on. |
The options are divided into several groups: Columns, Filters and Options.

Filters
In this section you can define which defects to include or exclude from the report. Most of the fields that Collaborator can display (see Columns section), can also act as filter fields.
You can specify one or more conditions and Collaborator will show only those reviews that match these criteria. For instance, show defects in some particular state, defects created in certain time period, defects whose comment contains particular word and so on.
When several conditions are given, the report displays data that matches all of the specified conditions.
Options
In the Options section you can specify how the found data is sorted, entitled and divided into pages. A report has a limit on the maximum number of rows that can be displayed: 50 rows by default. You can change the number in the Max # Rows field. When you export report data to CSV or SQL or print the report all rows are exported/printed regardless of this option value.
