Create a custom view in Rally to let you see if there are any code reviews in the current iteration which need your attention.

  1. Under the "TRACK" dropdown at the top navigation, click the plus button to add a new custom page.
  2. A "Custom Page" dialog box will appear. You may give the page a name here and decide if you want to filter the report you will make based on "None" or "Iteration" or "Release" and, obviously, I suggest the "Iteration" options. Wrap this up and save.
  3. You'll see a light blue box which says "Welcome to your custom page!" in it and there will be a few custom layouts to pick from. Pick the layout that represents two reports side by side. We will need to have one report for stories and one report for defects as both may need code reviews.
  4. Click "Start adding apps." which will take you to the "APP CATALOG" where you should pick "Custom List (formerly Custom Grid)" and then click: "Add This App"
  5. You'll next see your custom page with the beginnings of a report in one of its layout halves. Under the columns dropdown pick "Code Review" and "Code Reviewed" and "State" and then give the piece of the page a name and save it. The default setting for "Object" should be "User Story" here which is good.
  6. Alright, that will give you, at a glance, some reporting on stories and it should be easy to tell which ones have code reviews. All that remains is to do the same thing for defects. Click on the gear at the upper right and pick "Add App..." to add the second half of the report. You will basically repeat the last two steps while changing the "Object" setting to "Defect" before checking the checkboxes.
  7. This will give you the two reports side by side. (To delete the report go back into the "TRACK" dropdown, click the pencil, and then click the gear by your report. This should expose a way to delete.)
