View not shown on web ui if using "select items using e

[datwood100]

If I create a view, it normally appears almost immediately on the web interface. That is, unless I select "Select items using expression" and put in an expression. Then the view disappears from the views list on the web UI. It is still visible in RCC, and will re-appear on the web UI if I uncheck that box.

The behavior doesn't make sense to me, and I didn't see anything in the docs to explain it, so I think it is a defect.

BTW, I am trying to setup a view that will only display tests from folders marked with a certain variable value. The view seems to work fine in RCC, but is completely invisible to the web UI.

Ideas ?

Thanks,

This behaviour is by design and described in manual.

Quote from manual:

- Select items using expression
This option allows you to use expressions like the following to select test items you need
('%SimpleStatus%'=='UP') and (%Recurrences%>5)
('%SimpleStatus%'=='UP') and ('mail' in '%AlertProfile%')
('%Status%'=='Out of schedule') and ('%LastStatus%'=='Bad')
These expressions should follow the same rules that are used for "advanced actions"
Note: Web Service does not support such views!

Ok, thanks. I missed that line. Maybe a future release will support these views in the web UI.

Yes, we plan to implement this option
