How can I find a story or defect I created in VersionOne?

Question

We are using Version One. House policy is not to make yourself an owner of a story when you create a defect or story. Sometimes I want to quickly locate a story I recently added, but I can find no way other looking through the entire list of 'Described' stories for that product. Is there a way to filter by the story (or defect) creator?

Answer 1

Since you are asking here on Stack Overflow, I assume you mean as an API query.

The first thing you would need to know is the attributes for the VersionOne Story asset. If you explore the attributes for Story with the meta.v1 endpoint, you will find:

CreateDate : Date CreatedBy : Relation to Member

With that, you can use the query.v1 endpoint to query for Story with a specific CreatedBy, sorted descending on CreateDate, with a page size of 100.

from: Story select: - Number - Name where: CreatedBy.Name: Ian Buchanan sort: -CreateDate page: start: 0 size: 100

Answer 2

Here is an alternative method to doing a query using our rest-1.v1/Data endpoint.

https://YourVersionOneInstance/rest-1.v1/Data/Defect?sel=Number,Name,CreateDate&where=CreatedBy.Name='Administrator'&Sort=-CreateDate

This is not as clean looking as the query.v1 endpoint but it can be dumped right into a browser.

I will quickly decompose this query just in case some newbs can get a quicky.

1) YourVersionOneInstance/rest-1.v1/Data/Defect - I am using the rest-1.v1, Data endpoint to dump out Defects.

2)sel=Number,Name,CreateDate - I want to show only these attributes (fields) in my output.

3) where=CreatedBy.Name='Administrator' - I only want output created by Administrator.

4) Sort=-CreateDate` - When doing a query without sort, it will show in ascending order The -CreateDate combination just changes the direction to descending so your latest bubbles to the top.
