Background - accessing the Eyes issue dialog

All of the available actions you can do related to Rally are taken from the issue region dialog. You can enter this dialog in one of the following ways:

  • If you have not yet created the Eyes issue, then, from the Test editor or Step editor, create a new Eyes issue by clicking on the icon, marking a rectangular area on the baseline or checkpoint image, and, in the dialog that opens, entering a title and clicking Create. The issue dialog will open. For more information on creating Eyes issues see Add issue and remark regions to the step images.
  • If the Eyes issue already exists, you can open the Eyes issue dialog by clicking on the issue icon in the Test editor or Step editor step image.
  • You can also open the issue dialog from the main Test Results page in the Issues and remarks view by clicking on the issue in the list of issues displayed.

Create a new Rally issue

To create a new Rally issue from the Eyes issues dialog, do as follows:

  • If the dialog includes a Not logged in to Rally status and the Create new Rally issue is grayed out, then click Log in and in the dialog that opens enter a user name and password, and click Log in.

  • Click on Create new Rally issue. Eyes opens a dialog and asks you to select the Project name to which this Rally work item should be added. The project names displayed in the pulldown menu are configured as part of the Eyes/Rally integration. If only one project is configured then this will be preselected.
