    • Gray circle icon = Dashboard Token is expired

  3. The Expiration Date default is 90 days from token generation. However, you can change it to another expiration date using the drop-down.

    A Dashboard URL generated before the Insights 1.15.6 release will continue to work until the dashboard's expiration date.

Limit Test Cases Linked to Requirement

By default, you can link a maximum of 100 Test Cases to one requirement in a single operation. To link more Test Cases than the limit, you need to use multiple operations. Alternatively, you can have your administrator set a higher limit in the Maximum Number of Test Cases field.

Re-sync Jira connections

If your Jira integration stops syncing updates with qTest, use the Sync Jira Connections button to force start a sync for all requirements, defects, and releases in all of your projects.

Before you use this option, make sure you have an active project with a working Jira connection. Avoid using this button more than once a day, as syncing multiple projects can take a varying amount of time.

You can still resync data from individual projects, if you need to.
