Rally: How to make apps compatible with the time box filter?

Question

When displaying several apps on a page, I am aware that I can use a global filter such as a release or iteration filter rather than having a release or iteration filter for each app. However, the global filter does not seem to work properly for the Iteration Summary app but it works with individual filter. I have looked at the source code for the Iteration Summary app to make it compatible with the global filter (aka time box filter). Please refer to http://developer.rallydev.com/help/Apps-Timebox-Filtered-Dashboards for more information.

Also, another concern for the custom grid app how do I make it so that I do not have to hard code the query like Iteration.Name = "IR 1" but instead use the global filter data to do the query. Thanks.

Answer 1

Custom grid should automatically respect the global timebox filter on the dashboard. It will AND on the timebox filter to any query entered (so there is no need to manually add it).

The Iteration Summary App should work with the global filter. Could you give more info on what the problem is?
