Reports with multiple baselines

Reports with multiple baselines

I have a report where I am using the historical view to show trackers at a specific baseline. Currently, I have only been able to display one baseline at a time. Is there a way to show multiple baselines in the same report?

 

Thanks,

Hi, 

 

As of the current Codebeamer capabilities, the Historical View in reports supports only one baseline (or one point in history) per tracker configuration at a time. There's no native support for overlaying or comparing multiple baselines within the same report view.

However, here are a few workarounds:

  1. Duplicate the Report Section:
    Create multiple report widgets (or sections) side by side or vertically, each configured to a different baseline. Although not in a single unified table, it provides a visual comparison on the same report page.

  2. Custom Scripted Report / Export:
    Use the REST API to fetch data from multiple baselines and aggregate externally (e.g., via Excel, Power BI, or a custom app). This allows side-by-side comparison or delta reporting.

  3. Snapshot Compare:
    For specific comparisons, consider using the Tracker → Compare Baselines feature, which highlights differences between two baselines, though it isn’t embedded in a report.

Unfortunately, there’s no built-in feature (as of 3.x) that allows multiple baselines to be rendered together in one dynamic grid inside a report.

Hope this helps.

It would be interesting to know why would want to compare more than two baselines, and what you were expecting to see in the multi-baseline compare.

 

Hi @GeoffreyClemm 

 

I wish I could share more, but because of the sensitive nature of the client/project, I can't go into detail here.

Hello, sometimes compare of the results of different test campaigns (even between 2 Baselines) is usefull to understand what changed inside the system. Therefore this feature could help the users to follow the changes
