The Project Activity Report allows you to view the activity for a specific time period range and grouping (daily, weekly, etc.) for the current project. This report can track 7 project activity parameters related to Case and Execution data, as mentioned below:

Case: Created / Updated / Automated
Execution: Case executed / Runs executed / Actual effort / Defects discovered

This project activity report also enables the stakeholders to view the progress/effort being spent on a project.

In this documentation, you’ll understand:

Steps to Generate Project Activity Report

Step 1: To generate Project Activity Report, simply click on the Chevron option for Project Activity.

Step 2: Once you click on the chevron icon, the Project Activity Report input window will be displayed on the screen. Enter the required details into their respective fields.

Activity Start Date: The date from which the project activity should be tracked. This is a mandatory input.
Activity End Date: The project activity will be tracked till the end of this date.

If the Activity End Date is not specified, the current date is used as the Activity End date.

Activity Time Period: This is the time period grouping that should be used to group the project activity. Time period options are None, Day, Week, Month, Quarter and Year.

If None is selected, the whole time period between the start and end date will be considered as a single bucket.

Include Limited Visibility Cases: If this option is selected, then Cases that are visible only to the currently logged-in user will also be included in the report.

By default, the include limited visibility cases option is not selected.
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, the case will be invisible to all the team members except for 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.
By default, the draft status is the only limited visibility status.

Activity Selection: Select the activity parameters to track the various parameters given below:
- Case created: Tack 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 executed: Track the number of cases executed (cases having the latest run marked as completed) in the Project.

For more details on Run statuses marked as Execution Completed refer to Run Statuses guide. By default, these would be Passed and Failed statutes.

Run executed: Track the number of runs executed (runs marked as completed) in the project. 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 in the project.

Step 3: Finally, click on the Generate button.

Users can also save reports to reuse them later by clicking on the Save button.

Once you click on the Generate button, the report output will be displayed on the screen.

The below Project Activity report was generated after selecting all activity parameters in the report input.
The Project Activity report shows the selected activity parameters grouped as per the selected time period- Month in this case.
By default, the “Show only non-empty items“ filter is applied. If a row does not contain any activity, it will be filtered out.
All columns in the grid can be clicked to view additional details.
