How to add description column in Available Columns so that we can add this field in excel report from Bugzilla tool.
I am not getting the fixed bugs data in Bugzilla after 7 days so that i am trying to get excel report for future reference.
The short answer is "you can't add the description column"
However, there are other ways to get this info.
You can export the search results as XML.
You can use the API to query for the data

If I design a report based on some data source, lets say an spreadsheet from google sheets.
but then I want to reuse this report on a different sheet, can I do this without actually editing the report? Can I specify the source somehow in the URL?
Then all I need to do to reuse the report is upload new sheets to my google drive and then connect them to the report by specifying them in the URL.
Is this possible? Or is there a better way to do it?
(I'm googling, but I cannot find out how to reuse reports without actually manually editing them).
so there does seem to be something called "Custom JSON/CSV/XML" by Supermetrics.
and you seem to be able to specify the url as a parameter somehow. If someone has done this and succeeded/failed, or knows of a walkthrough/tutorial, or a variation on this theme then that would be helpful.
Using default connectors, you can't change the Data Source using parameters.
You may try to create a community connector with a parameter to set the desired resource, but I don't think it will fit your needs or worth the effort (you'll still need to edit the report to change the parameter).
However, when you click to copy/duplicate a report, it prompt you to select new sources for each Data Source in your report. It will copy-then-edit your report anyway, but it is a friendly interface. Maybe you should try this.
I have a report (developed by a previous employee), some of the columns(data) are clickable, when clicking the number(data on some of the columns) it opens another report. But when in the design mode from the first report, I could not figure out the relation to any of the clickable report name. I have checked Action property and almost with my knowledge all possible, but still unable to locate the reference/pointer to another report. Could you please let me know, how do I locate the reports? or the pointer. As I need to add a filter and columns to most of the reports. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know how do I find and fix the report as I need to add a filter and add a column to all reports.
Also, I think it's drill through the report but unable to locate the link for each column, the reports are deployed into the reporting server and accesses through the UI portal
The main report has 6 clickable columns and I see all six reports in the reporting server as well. But not sure how those are connected and how the parameters are passed, as I need to add a new parameter and new columns to all the reports except the main report
Please let me know if you need more information
Thank you
I also faced the same issue while exploring an old SSRS report and after struggling for an hour I found the previous developers have defined this action property on the field's action property inside a textbox. So instead of looking at the textbox action property, look at the field's action property and you will find the drill through report name and parameters passed.
Does anyone know if it's possible to switch the data set which is used by a Mobile Report? As far as I can see, the only way of doing this would be to add the new dataset and then re-map everything, including filtering to the new one.
It seems a very inefficient way of doing things. In addition, if the original dataset is deleted, there is no way of getting back into the Mobile report!
Any advice appreciated.
In the Report Portal you can manage the settings of the Mobile Report just like you would with paginated reports. You can set the dataset that it's pointing to there without editing the report. As you might suspect, the field names should be the same or it won't know which ones to use.
I am the lead developer on a project for a 'difficult' client. I will try not to bore anybody with the details but here is my issue I am facing.
Our client has a team of QA testers that are managing their project through JIRA. We currently have a fixed bid contract with them to supply them the software they requested at a fixed price and any additional features or pre-existing issues will be covered under time and materials.
They have taken the time to raise every defect within the system unrelated to the current fixed bid process and have tried to get them resolved for free and each time we have come to an agreement through JIRA comments that this is a preexisting issue/new feature and you will have to pay for it after the project has been completed which they have agreed to.
The issue is this client has a history of forgetting conversations and email trains that don't benefit them putting a lot of wasted time on our side digging up proof we agreed to handle a situation a specific way.
The project will not complete for several more weeks but as soon as it does I will likely be removed from the JIRA project by their administrator and they will begin asking again for us to complete all this additional work at no cost and I will lose access to the comments on each issue explaining to them it will not be free and them agreeing.
I am currently exporting each ticket after it closes but this is wasting about 30-40 minutes a day and would be interested if there is a tool out there that can export an entire JIRA project to a readable text format that I can run once near the project end.
TL:DR; Is there a tool that will allow me to export an entire JIRA project in a text readable format before I lose access to the project and all information included within that project
Export as CSV doesn't include comments and is limited to 1000 issues be default.
I have used the jira-python library to retrieve all issues, all fields, all comments from a single project. Missed the attachments though.
But what you have is a people problem more than a technical problem. Good luck!
Large exports (e.g. many hundreds of issues) are not recommended.
To change the number of issues that are exported, change the value of the tempMax parameter in the URL.
To export search results to Microsoft Excel:
Choose Issues > Search for Issues.
Refine your search, as described in Searching for Issues, then choose the Export menu.
Choose one of the following from the dropdown menu:
'Excel (All fields)'— this will create a spreadsheet column for every issue field (excluding comments).
Note: This will only show the custom fields that are available for all of the issues in the search results. For example, if a field is only available for one project and multiple projects are in the search results then that field will not appear in the Excel document. The same goes for fields that are only available for certain issue types.
'Excel (Current fields)' — this will create a spreadsheet column for the issue fields that are currently displayed in your Issue Navigator.
A file called - .xls will be created. Edit this file using Microsoft Excel and/or save it as required.
I need some help from those with more knowledge than I posses. I am currently trying to figure out how to get real time data from a database.
I need to be able to find the company info from the most recent licensees. So the search parameter I'm using is 2016-05-10T00:00:00.000
The full string together from the API and the search parameter can be found directly at this link:
https://www.hurl.it/?method=GET&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdata.wa.gov%2Fresource%2Fv8vv-gqqs.json&headers=%7B%22X-App-Token%22%3A[%22bjp8KrRvAPtuf809u1UXnI0Z8%22]%7D&args=%7B%22licenseeffectivedate%22%3A[%222004-07-14T00%3A00%3A00.000%22]%7D
So I'm looking to retrieve the most recently added accounts in order to verify 1. the license is active 2. the license number the contractor gives matches what the website says. I would like to figure out how to automate this so that when the newest licenses are added I'll know, and they will be extracted/downloaded into excel.
If anyone can help with this I would appreciate it very much. I also have more questions about using databases if any of you are experts in the field.
Once again, thank you!

Since your goal is to get this data into Excell, have you considered using something like our OData support instead? You could structure your query in Excel PowerBI and it'd automatically refresh the data.
Another option would be to use our CSV output type with an Excel web query. I use the IMPORTDATA(...) function in Google Sheets, which is very similar.
