Cross-project report problems


Gemma Bowers (1121) | asked Nov 10 '09, 7:16 a.m.
Hi,

I'm trying to create a custom cross-project report, but I'm having problems listing all available project areas - only the current project is listed.

I have tried comparing my report with the "Defect Backlog By Project Area" report, but, again, when I go to run this only the current project is listed in the "Project Area" listbox and no others from my repository.

Is there something extra I need to do in order to make other projects visible in the "Project Area" list?

Hi,

Is it possible this has something to do with read permissions? I.e. do
you have permission to access all of the project areas?

Thanks for your reply. My reports are now working, but I'm not entirely sure why!

After reading your post I checked my user repository permissions and set it to "JazzUsers" only, then ran the report and it worked. I then set my permissions back to what I had originally, and the reports still worked, so I'm not sure if this fixed the problem or not. The only other thing I can think of that might of helped is that I ran an update of all snapshot data whilst working on a different report.
