Viewing an Individual Issue

Link to Viewing an Individual Issue copied to clipboard

From the Issues For... screen which serves as a summary listing of issues displaying only a subset of fields of information about issues, activate an individual link to access and view all information about an issue (including all of the information that was selected, entered and uploaded for the issue when it was logged) on the View Issue screen. You can view more details and edit an issue, and also take advantage of the fact that each one has its own unique URL. This allows the convenience of sharing a link to an issue with colleagues.

From the Issues For... screen, you are able to view the details associated with an individual logged issue by clicking the ID column link.

To view an issue:

  • On the Issues For... screen, in the ID column, activate the Issue link for the desired issue row.

View Issue Screen Overview

Viewing individual issues in axe Auditor provides all available information logged for an issue on a single screen, along with a button to edit that information if you so choose. A convenient sharing feature is that each View Issue screen has a unique URL that can be sent as a link to a colleague you are collaborating with.

The View Issue <#> for <Test Case Name> screen comprises the following regions in the screen:

  1. Header area: View the system-assigned issue identification number, associated test case, and navigate back to the 'Issues for...' issues list screen.
