The Project Dashboard Management application
is available in the Test Lead's
Desktop and allows the Test Lead to add/modify and control the information
that is displayed in the Project/Release
Dashboard that is accessed via the URL http://<system_name_or_IP_address>/zephyr/dashboard
and clicking on the appropriate Project.
The information displayed in this application is an exact replica of what everyone sees when the open the Project/Release Dashboard and relevant areas have a "Edit" button that allows finer grain control.
The Release Timeline section is populated with data from the Testcase EAS application. Execution schedules set up in that application are automatically displayed here.
Clicking on the "Edit" button opens a dialog that allows the addition or modification of news.
There are 2 main sections here - the "News" and the "Description". Any text entered into the "News" column shows up as a bolded title and the more detailed text in the "Description" field shows up indented to the title.
Clicking on "Add" will provide a new line to be edited which must then be saved using the "Save" button. The check boxes "Show" and "New" can be turned on/off to either show the news item or not and to display the word "New!" or not.
Details about team members on the Project are automatically displayed based on the project assignments made in Project Setup.
The list of documents that are uploaded or linked to in the Documents application are shown in this section.
The list of metrics is displayed based on whether the flag Show in Project Dashboard is turned on in the Metrics application.
