Tutorial 1: Creating a view for a group of developers

Say you're a development manager and you want to monitor the activity of the group of developers you manage.

First you create a user group for your developers. This isn't mandatory, because you can specify as many individual owners as you like in a view, but specifying a group just makes the view easier to maintain.

Create a user group

1. Go to User Management by clicking Users at the top left.

   If you don't see Users, you likely don't have permissions to create accounts, so you'll need to contact your Klocwork administrator for this step.

2. Click Create a new account or group next to Accounts.
3. Make sure group is selected, enter a name for your group, and click OK.

   We'll call our new group Dev Team 2.

4. Enter each developer's name in the text field and click Add. Suggestions will appear when you start typing.

Create a view for this group

1. Go back to the Projects list by clicking Projects at the top left.
2. Click the project you want to create a view for. The project details appear on the right.
3. Click Views in the project details.
4. Click Create a new view.
5. Enter a name for your view. We'll call our new view Dev Team 2 .

   View names cannot exceed 64 characters and cannot contain apostrophes (') or double quotes (").

6. In the Search field, enter:

   owner:"Dev Team 2"
   

7. Select public to make this view visible to all users who have access to this project.

   Only a Project admin can make a view public. But if you're not a Project admin, you can still click share to share the view with your team.

8. Click Create.

Test your new view

1. Click the New or Open issues link for your new view.
2. You'll see only issues owned by your team.
