All Tests for the Past 30 Days

The counts are calculated for the past 30 days across the entire Analyst group you selected, not just the tests you own.
- Tests with the following statuses : Complete , Paused and Expired .
Click on a button to access the corresponding list of counted tests!

Advanced search & analysis across tests
Click to access a comprehensive test searching tool that also enables you to:
- Move tests to different folders, or even groups if you have access to multiple analyst groups.
- Run analysis across multiple tests or multiple sections within a single test.
- Export a list of selected tests you searched for.
- Generate graphs on data found in the selected tests you searched for.
Search tests
Search for tests by their Test ID or by their name. As you type, the list of tests will change corresponding to the characters that you typed in the search box.
The software will search in the selected folder. If no folder is selected, the search will take place across all tests in the selected Analyst group .
Click on the arrows to change the search location. The search results will update automatically.
Filters
To further refine your search, use the following filtering options:
- + Add folder - Click to create a new folder. Specify the folder name and where you want to place it in the folder structure.
- My tests - Click to display only the tests that you own in the selected folder or across all folders in the selected Analyst group within the selected date range filter. Click again to remove the filter.
- Test type - Click to select a specific test type to search for within the selected date range filter. Select Test type to display all test types.
- Status - Click to select a specific test status to search by within the selected date range filter. Select Status to display all test statuses.
- More filters - Click to select:
- A preset date range, or set a custom date range filter. The default date range for test search is 6 months .
- An owner or owners of the tests.Filters applied in the More filters area will be displayed between More filters and the test list.
The total number of filters applied will be displayed little lower, just above the test list.
- Reset - Click to clear all custom filters. This will also reset the date range filter to the default 6 months .
Filters will hold (will be 'remembered') until you change them again, or until you clear the cache and cookies in your browser. If the filters consistently get cleared out every time to return to Compusense, that means that your browser is set to clear the cache and cookies every time you close the browser down. Update the browser cookie settings, or ask your IT to assist you with that.
Folders
A list of available folders and their subfolders in the selected Analyst group is displayed in the vertical bar on the left.
- Click a folder to see a list of test in it and all its subfolders, if applicable. You will know that a folder has subfolders when it has an arrow in front of the folder name. Click on the arrow to expand or collapse the folder structure.In our example image, when we click on the folder named 2020 , the test list will display all the tests in this folder and its subfolders. Clicking on the folder named 01 will display only the tests in that subfolder.
- Click the vertical ellipses (three vertical dots) to create a subfolder, to edit the existing folder's name and location, or to delete an empty folder. Folders with tests in them cannot be deleted.
At the bottom of the Folders list there is a double arrow. Click the double arrow once to collapse the list. This will make the Tests list area larger. Click the double arrow once again to expand the Folders list for a better view of folder names.
Tests
A test list based on the applied search and filtering criteria.
- The folder name displayed in the Tests list corresponds to the folder selected in the Folders list.

- Test name - The name specified during the build of the test. Click the name of a test to open the test for editing.

- Clone - Click the icon with two squares to create a clone of the test:
- With results, if the test contains any.
--or - Without results.

- More - Click the vertical ellipses (the three dots arranged vertically) to see the following:
- Last modified - The date and time the test was last modified.
- Owner - The analyst name that owns the test.
- Folder - The name of the folder where the test is located.

- Show X tests - Click the arrows to select the number of tests you wish to display per page in the Tests list. The options are: 10, 25, 50, 100, and 150.
- Previous X Next - If the Tests list contains more tests than one page can display, you will be able to click on the Previous and Next buttons to navigate through pages.
