Using Rally Excel-Addin, can I add tags when importing new userstories to Rally? - rally

While importing user stories with Tags column from spreadsheet, I run into issue that Tags cannot be imported.
Is there a way to do that using Rally excel-addin. The tags currently exist in Rally. Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!

It is currently not possible to import Tags using the Excel Add-in. You will need to add the Tags using the WebUI after the import. You can do this using Bulk-Edit:
Put a Custom List app on your dashboard or a custom page and set the
work item type to User Story.
Set the "show" parameter at the bottom left of the results to 200
(the maximum batch size).
Tick the select all checkbox at the upper right.
Click the gear icon next to any work item- this will return the Bulk
Actions menu.
From Bulk Actions choose "Tag...".
The Excel Add-in is currently undergoing a rewrite an this capability will, hopefully, be a part of the new version.

Update user stories description in bulk in rally

Is there a way to update all US description using excel add-in or some other way?
Say for example - I have 100 US and i want to update the description of the US with same name as US
You could do it in the excel add-in probably, yes. That's probably the easiest. You could also do it with a custom list app by selecting the items and bulk editing them.
Check out this little custom app I put together:
https://github.com/krmorse/BulkEditDescription
It's a list of stories and includes the advanced filtering component so you can find what you're looking for. Then just bulk edit description on your selected stories.
Just paste this html into a custom html app and you should be good to go:

want to capture data after the search action using selenium webdriver

I am working on a ERP application, where I have to click on a search button, after which it will give me list of data.
Want automate that using webdriver
Screenshot
The search tab is empty before the search option.
How to check, whether the data is coming after pressing the search button or not?
If you are getting the data in a tabular form you can use something like:
List<WebElements> tableRows = driver.findElements(By.tagName("tr"));
and then you can check the size and do whatever you want.

Setting up recycle bin functionality in Archer GRC

When deleting records within the platform, this action is not reversible via the front end. Is there a way to allow users to remove a record from their view without actually deleting the record?
You can simulate recycle bin functionality within Archer GRC by adding a record permission field that grants read access to "Everyone". If read access is no longer required then an editor of the record can go in and change "Everyone" to a group called "Recycle Bin."
Please note that if there are other record permission fields in the application, users or groups may still have access if they are selected in those fields. Perhaps You can set up a dropdown status field for the user to select "Recycle Bin" and use this condition for automatic record permissions to revoke permission to the record depending on the requirements or workflow of the application.
Solution shared by Igritte might be somewhat confusing for end users.
End user will see greyed out "Delete" button in the top toolbar, but he has to select "Recycle Bin" in the form. This solution was not accepted by my business owner at some point.
As a work around for "Soft delete", I wrote a custom object overriding "Delete" button functionality.
1. User doesn't have delete access to the record, so JavaScript code will make "Delete" button look like active and available.
2. Once the button is clicked, custom object will populate value in the
hidden value list and simulate the click on the "Save" button.
Update: Note that Custom object needs to hide the value list first once the page is loaded. Here you will need to use a JavaScript and do the following: [a] locate the value list DOM object and [b] set display attribute to none. I used jQuery library to do both. This way your value list is not displayed, but you still can use it to control data driven events.
3. With hidden value populated and submitted, record permission will hide this record from the end user.
Note that custom object hides one value list on the layout as well.
If for some reason JavaScript doesn't load properly, user simply will not be able to click on the grayed out "Delete" button.
Update: Hidden value list can be populated by custom object using JavaScript code as well. You need to identify the form tag "input" in HTML code of the page and set attribute "value" to the desired state. I used jQuery library to do this as well.
I have this solution in production working fine with IE11, FF and Chrome.
I can't share the code, but with WC3Schools JavaScript guides and 4 hours you can write and test it yourself with very little JavaScript skills.
Sometimes you have to use custom objects when you want to get a user-friendly solution of not available functionality.
Good luck!

Linking two dashboards based on a table selection in Qlikview

In the past, I have used Tableau, another Data Visualization tool just like Qlikview where I could link a selection on a table or graph (or really an worksheet on a dashboard) to another dashboard by setting a source and destination dashboard/sheet. I did this using 'Action Filters'.
I am trying to do the same thing in Qlikview where I want to link two dashboards and transfer the selection in the source dashboard as a filter to the destination dashboard. Any idea if this is possible? And if yes, how can I implement this?
If you are using a trigger, say, on a button which opens a new QlikView Document, there are options to transfer state. This will carry over your current selection criteria. However, the fields in the destination document must have the same name.
See button properties -> Actions -> Add -> Action type external: Open QlikView Document. You will return to the Actions tab with options available to the newly added action.
Try to solve it with the data-model behind these two dashboard. If they use the same data resp. the data-tables are connected this works out of the box in QlikView because of the so called associative data-model in QlikView.
No need to connect the dashboards manually, zero configuration ...

Hide few fields in EditForm.asx of Picture Library in sharepoint 2010

I have a picture library and added few fields to it. When i click add new item from picture library, the EditForm.aspx appears after uploading the picture. This form contains many fields of which I want to hide Title, Date Picture Taken, Description, and Keyword. In short the EditForm should contain only Name, Preview and the columns that I have added. Is it possible to hide the other columns? I want to perform this out of the box.
Several possibilities.
You can use SharePoint Designer to manipulate the NewForm, EditForm and DisplayForm. Edit the existing form, use CSS to set the out of the box HTML form to hidden, then add a new custom form to the page and remove the columns you don't want to see.
If you don't want to use these columns at all, just delete them in the Library settings
If you don't want to delete the columns, click the parent content type in the Library settings, then edit each column and set it to "hidden"

I found this solution to be really simple and effective. Very well documented and descriptive.
