Filtering QC Items
You can filter the Tests collection by using the filters on: https://qc.ebu.io/items
Quick filter
The Quick filter allows you to quickly filter the Items shown, by text.
Advanced filters
The Advanced filters allow you to filter in a much more granular way. The fields you can filter by depend on your access level. E.g. Editors can filter by Item Status ('published', 'drafting', etc.). The 'last modified after' and 'last modified before' filters can be especially useful when looking for specific edits, e.g. for Editors who are involved in drafting and reviews.
Note that the QC Items you see depend on your rights. Non-logged users only see 'published' and 'withdrawn' QC Items. Editors see all. But regardless of your rights, you will only see the LATEST VERSION of the Item you have a right to see!
This means that for example as an Editor you cannot see the latest published QC Item in the list directly, if the Item also has a newer 'drafting' version (but you CAN find it by logging out, by looking at the Item's history, or by using another view, see below).
Additional views
Users with access Editor or higher have a total of 4 different Item Views to select from:
- All Items <- shows the latest version of each Item the user has a right to see. So, say QC Item 0001F v1.0 was published and v1.1 is now in 'drafting', it will show v1.0 to a public (non-logged) user, and v1.1 to a logged Editor ! For e.g. public users this means the All items view shows the same as the Published view.
- Published <- shows the latest 'published' or 'withdrawn' version of each Item (provided it has one of these). This is available to all users.
- Work in Progress <- shows all Items that have as latest status 'drafting'. Only available to Editors+.
- In Review <- shows all Items that have as latest status anything else than 'Drafting', 'Published' or 'Withdrawn'. Only available to Editors+.
Export (CSV)
For Editors, the Advanced filters also includes an 'Export (CSV)' button, which exports the filtered Items in CSV format.
Note the export is in 'UTF 8'. If you try to open this in Microsoft Excel, you may need to signal this explicitly. See for Example: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/excel/open-and-edit-a-csv-file-in-utf8/m-p/1035542
