The User Activity report allows you to view the activities of a user for a specific time period range and grouping (daily, weekly etc.) for the current project or across projects. This report can track 7 user activity parameters related to Case and Execution data, as mentioned below:
Case: Created / Updated / Automated
Execution: Case assigned / Runs executed / Actual effort / Defects discovered
The User Activity report can you help plan the upcoming workload of a user based on their recent work velocity.
In this documentation, you’ll understand:
Steps to Generate User Activity Report
Step 1: To generate a User Activity Report, simply click on the Chevron option for User Activity.
Step 2: Once you click on the chevron icon, the User Activity Report input window will be displayed on the screen. Enter the required details into their respective fields.
Users: It specifies the list of users for which you want to track the activity. This is a mandatory input.
Include activity data only from current Project: Unticking this option will show the user activity from all projects in which the user has contributed to the areas being tracked in the report.
By default, this option is ticked, which means that activity will be tracked only from the current project.
Include limited visibility Cases: If this option is selected, then Cases which are visible only to the currently logged-in user will also be included in the report.
By default, this option is unticked.
For limited visibility cases, users have three options- Viewable by Owner only, Eligible for Cycle and Set addition, and Eligible for Linked Step.
Viewable by Owner only: By ticking the Owner only checkbox, users can keep cases visible to all team members except the owner of the case. Cases in this status then cannot be available for adding to cycles and sets. Also, they cannot be added as linked steps in other cases and thus will not be searchable while linking cases.
Eligible for Cycle and Set addition: By ticking the Eligible for Cycle and Set addition checkbox, cases in that status can only be added to a Set and Cycle. They will be visible to all users but cannot be added as linked steps in other cases.
Eligible for Linked Step: By ticking the Eligible for Linked Step checkbox, users can not only keep cases visible to everyone in the team but can only add cases as linked steps. The cases with this case status will not be available for adding to a set or a cycle.
Activity Start Date: It shows the date from which the user activity should be tracked. This is a mandatory input.
Activity End Date: The user activity will be tracked till the end of this date. If this parameter is not specified, then the current date is used as the Activity end date.
Activity Time Period: This is the time period grouping which should be used to group the user activity. Time period options are None, Day, Week, Month, Quarter and Year.
If the None option is selected, the whole time period between the start and end date will be considered as a single bucket.
Activity Selection: Select the activity parameters to track the various parameters given below:
Case Created: Track the number of cases created.
Case Updated: Track the number of cases updated. This option will show the count of unique cases updated in the time period bucket. For example, If the time period grouping is for a Week, then even if a case has been updated twice in the week, it will only add 1 to the count.
Case Automated: Track the number of cases automated.
Case Assigned: Track the number of cases assigned to the user for execution.
Run Executed: Track the number of runs executed (runs marked as completed) by the user.
If a user has done multiple Runs for a Case in a Cycle, then each Run will be counted here. For more details on Run statuses marked as Execution Completed refer to Run Statuses guide. By default, these would be Passed and Failed statutes.
Actual Effort: Track the actual effort logged by the user for each run executed.
Defects Discovered: Track the number of unique Defects associated with the Runs executed by the user.
Step 3: Finally, click on the Generate button.

Once you click on the Generate button, the report output will be displayed on the screen.
The below User Activity report was generated for Case created, updated and automated activity parameters.
The User Activity report shows the selected user activity parameters for each User grouped as per the selected time period- Year in this case.
If the report is generated after unselecting “Include activity data only from current Project“, the User row can be expanded to show the project-wise activity for the user.
By default, the “Show only non-empty items“ filter is applied. If a row does not contain any activity, it will be filtered out.
This User Activity report was generated for Case created, Case assigned, Run executed, and Defects discovered parameters.
All columns in the grid can be clicked to view additional details.
