Field Configurations

AIO Tests allows you to configure the default fields in Cases, Sets, Cycles and Run with ease. Whether you want to hide specific fields from the Cases, Sets, Cycles and Run screen or want to make specific fields mandatory for the users to fill in the Cases, Sets, Cycles and Run screen, the test management tool lets you do it effortlessly. 

In this documentation, you’ll understand:

Setup Field Configurations

Step 1: To setup field configurations, simply click on the Gear icon and select the Project Settings option from the drop-down menu. 

By default, the Field Configurations page will be displayed on the screen.

Step 2: Click on the desired group for which you want to configure the fields - Cases, Sets, Cycles, or Runs. 

Step 3: Click on the Toggle on/off button for the desired fields that you want to Enable/Disable under Enabled Field and Mandatory/non-mandatory under Required Field

Users will get two options for each of the fields:

  • Enabled: If checked, the field is visible across the app. However, if unchecked, the field will not be visible in respective create and edit screens, in filters and column selectors and in respective right-hand panels (RHSPs).

  • Required: If checked, users will need to add data to the field while creating, editing, bulk editing, etc. the respective entity.

    • If the case/cycle is being created from the Jira panel and mandatory fields have been defined, users will be prompted to add additional details in a pop-up screen. 

    • While quick executing a case from the Jira panel, if users choose to add the case to a new cycle and mandatory fields have been defined, users will be asked to create a cycle first and then execute the case in the newly created cycle

  • By default, all fields are enabled and none of the fields are mandatory.

  • Users will be allowed to create cases, sets and cycles even if they marked fields as mandatory in the below three scenarios:

    • Importing cases using Excel, CSV, Feature files

    • Copying cases from one project to another

    • Creating cases via import of automation results (from the app as well as from REST APIs)

Once you toggle on/off the desired field, the changes will show up on the respective screens for which the fields were configured.

Field Configuration for Runs

There are 3 fields available in Runs- Actual Effort, Defect, and Run Step Assignee. By default, all Actual Effort and Defect fields are enabled. If users make actual effort and defect field mandatory by toggling on the Required option, they need to define the test run status type (In Progress, Passed, Failed, and Blocked) used for triggering validations for required fields. 

If the user toggles on the Run Step Assignee field, they can assign the step of a case to a specific tester. This option enables the users to assign bulk steps or specific steps to different testers.
