Results can be exported in .csv format by clicking on [Export]

2.4.3.6 Modify milestone (When milestone is 'Active')

For Administrators and Project Managers, the button [Modify milestone] will appear. This will enable you to bind / unbind milestones in one or more test cases simultaneously when the scope and status of milestones allows it.

To bind / unbind milestones in one or more test cases simultaneously :

• 1. Select the test cases that are or may be associated with at least one milestone in common

  2. Click on [Modify milestone]

  3. Check / uncheck the milestone(s) you want to associate / disassociate and click on [Confirm]
