Rally Create custom view based on presence of description - rally

I am trying to identify the list of stories that do not contain any text in the "Description" field. This would be part of a report that specifies which stories are "incomplete".
In case you are interested to know why I need this:
We are facing this issue every now and then in some of our projects. Getting some basic information filled in helps reduce the time spent in iteration planning and backlog grooming meetings.

Per WS API documentation Description is of type Text and it only formally supports contains, !contains operators. !contains is not intended to return artifacts with empty text field.
!= and = operators are not supported by Text field. Nevertheless != null works with Description, while it does not work with custom fields of type Text.
This query:
https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/hierarchicalrequirement?query=(Description%20%3D%20null)&start=1&pagesize=20&fetch=Description
will return stories with empty description.

Algolia vue-instantsearch : disjunction between two distincts facets

Using algolia vue-instantsearch, i’m encountering a special case and i’m having an hard time finding a solution.
Refinement behaviors is that you get the results that matches all your refinement filters.
If i filter on a brand and a price, i’ll get the results that matches both the brand and the price.
I need to add some specific filters that work differently. I would like to be able to say “returns me the results that matches either refinementA, or refinementB, or refinementC.”
The reason is that those refinements are checking fields that are not present on all the products.
If i check a value for refinementA, i want to keep all the results that has no value for field corresponding to refinementA, but remove those that has a value for refinementA that does not match with the one i filtered one.
Im thinking about handling myself some inputs instead of ias-components, and modifying by hand each query that is send to algolia by checking the value of my own inputs when searchFunction is triggered (https://www.algolia.com/doc/api-reference/widgets/instantsearch/js/#widget-param-searchfunction).
I did not found yet how i can trigger a search from an non-vue-instantsearch input event, and i’m not sure how the above solution could affect the internal working of vue-instantsearch.
I’m looking for feedbacks about a more standard way of doing this, or for any advices !
I got the answer by exchanging with a vue-instantsearch maintainer.
vue-instantsearch does not provide any option to do it.
A workaround is to overwrite algoliasearch search method, that is used under the hood by vue-instant-search.
const client = algoliasearch('', '');
const originalSearch = client.search;
client.search = function search(queries) { ... }

Show content based on whether the user has certain tag in Mailchimp

I went through the Merge Tags here and here, but couldn't figure out the syntax that would allow me to show content based on whether the user has certain Tag or not.
Help?
My goal in case it helps:
User subscribes, and is queued for a welcome mail one day later. In meantime that user may get tagged (my way of segmenting them), and so, the next day when that user receives the welcome mail, the content needs to be catered based on the tag that user got.
Got a response from their support saying
merge tags do not work with Tags just yet
here's the whole thing:
While we do have conditional merge tags available, I'm afraid we do
not have any that would work with Tags. To be transparent, Tags were
recently added a few months ago, and there are some features in our
application that has not updated to work with Tags just yet.
Because conditional merge tags do not work with tags yet, the best
option would be to create multiple automations and send them out based
on each tags. If you do it that way, you'll be able to target those in
specific tags with specific content
Dug a little deeper from the first link. There is another link Use Conditional Merge Tag Blocks which contained the below code:
Name
IF-ELSE
Definition
Use ELSE to indicate alternative content to display if the *|MERGE|* tag value is false.
Example
*|IF:MERGE|* content to display *|ELSE:|* alternative content to display *|END:IF|*
Name
ELSEIF
Definition
Use ELSEIF to specify a new *|MERGE|* tag to be matched against if the first *|MERGE|* tag value is false.
Example
*|IF:TRANSACTIONS >= 20|* Enjoy this 40% off coupon! *|COUPON40|*
*|ELSEIF:TRANSACTIONS >= 10|* Enjoy this 20% off coupon! *|COUPON20|*
*|ELSE:|* Enjoy this 10% off coupon! *|COUPON10|* *|END:IF|*
More examples with definitions can be found here.
Hope this is the answer you were after.

#Dblookup and formatting on web

I have been developing a web application using domino, therein I have dblookup-ing the field from notes client; Now, this is working fine but the format of value is missing while using on web.
For example in lotus notes client the field value format is as above
I am one, I am two, I am one , I am two, labbblallalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalaallllal
Labbbaalalalallalalalalalaalallaal
Hello there, labblalalallalalalllaalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
Now when I retrieve the value of the field on web it seems it takes 2 immediate after 1. and so forth, I was expecting line feed here which is not happening.
The field above is multi valued field. Also on web I have used computed text which does db lookup from notes client.
Please help me what else could/alternate solution for this case.
Thanks

Your multi-valued field has display options associated with it and the Notes client honors those. Obviously, your options are set up to display entries separated by newlines.
The computed text that you are using for the web does not have options like that and the field options are irrelevant because you aren't displaying the field. Your code has to insert the #Newlines. That's pretty easy because #DbLookup returns a list, and if you concatenate a list and a scalar, the scalar will be appended to each element of the list. (Look at the third example under "concatenation, pairwise" here to see what I mean.
The way you've worded your question is a little unclear to me, but what you need in your computed text formula is either something like this:
list := #DbLookup(etc,. etc.);
list + #Newline;
Or something like this:
multiValueFieldContainingListWithDbLookupResult + #NewLine;
I used #implode(Dblookupreturnedvalue;"");
thanks All :)

SSRS Loop through data, adding a new title if the chapter/section changes

I'm building an SSRS report in Report Builder 3.0 (2014). I have five sections of data I'm working with: inspection number, chapter, section, code, and description. The report is only going to show data for one inspection, so all data is filtered on InspNo first. There are often multiple codes associated with an InspNo.
What I have: for every code associated with an inspection, the code is listed along with its description.
What I need: I need to add the chapter and section info, but only when it changes. For example, let's say the codes associated with an inspection are 302.7, 304.10, 304.12, and 505.1. I would like the result to be as follows:
Chapter 3
Section 302
302.7 - Description
Section 304
304.10 - Description
304.12 - Description
Chapter 5
Section 505
505.1 - Description
I have tried using Lists, but the chapter and section get repeated for every code. Any ideas how to make it work?
****UPDATE****
I'm getting closer to a solution. Right now I'm using a combination of textboxes and lists. The chapters and sections are text boxes, and the codes/descriptions are lists. All of the elements have a visibility expression using InStr. The lists are working perfectly. However the text boxes are giving me issues.
It seems my visibility expressions on elements outside of lists are only looking at the first piece of the pulled data. In the example above, Section 302's visibility expression is =IIF(InStr(Fields!FAILEDCODE.Value, "302") > 0, False, True). This is working great because the first code is 302.7. Section 304's visibility expression is =IIF(InStr(Fields!FAILEDCODE.Value, "304") > 0, False, True). This text box is always hidden. It seems like Report Builder is only checking this InStr value against the first line of data, not the entire set. Does anyone know if this is accurate or if there's a workaround?

How to display custom fields in rally?

I have a ruby script that is trying to pull up some custom fields from Rally, the filter works just fine ( the filter contains one of the custom fields i want to pull up) but when I try to display it, it doesn't show up in the list (the value returned for all custom fields is blank, while appropriate values are returned for FormattedID, Name, Description).
Here's the link [link]http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6124958/
Please see this post.
Do you fetch the fields?
What version of WS API are you using? If it is v2.0 is c_ prepended to the name of the field in the code?
How is the field spelled in your code and how that spelling compares to Name and Display Name of the field in UI?
There is another reason why custom fields might not appear (other than the versioning and 'c_' issues nickm mentioned). I just found this out after a ton of head banging. The Rally SDK's ui stuff will filter out all fields that are hidden (such as _ref, or other 'hidden' custom fields) so you cannot view them in your apps in grids, charts, etc. For example, when constructing a Rally.ui.grid.Grid, a class called Rally.ui.grid.ColumnBuilder is constructed and it executes a command on the columns of the chart that look like this:
_removeHiddenColumns: function (columns) {
return _.filter(columns, function (column) {
return !column.modelField || !column.modelField.hidden;
});
},
As you can see, if you try to display any fields that are hidden (like _ref for example) in a grid, the column gets removed. So, although you may be fetching the custom fields, they will not show up unless those fields are not 'hidden'.
