How do I choose which information Player card shows?
Use filters to customize the information in Player card. Filter by Repo, Date Range, and Targets.
To view activity from a repo or set of repos, click Repo and select the repos you're interested in. Use the search feature to select repos based on name or tag.
Use Player card to see a developer's progress over time. Click Date range to only see data for a specific period of time.
On the Date ranges tab, click a preset date range such as trailing 14 day period or year to date to set it. Click Custom or use the provided calendar to create your own date range.
Use the Sprints tab to show activity during a specific sprint. Learn more about setting up custom date ranges and calendars.
Click on or off next to targets to choose whether or not to view the fundamental reports sections' custom targets.
Tip: Targets are on if there are dotted lines on the charts in the fundamentals sections. Settings for Repos, Date ranges, and Targets don't change if you switch which user you're looking at.
How do I find a specific user and filter their data?
To find another user's Player card:
- Click the current user's name to show a dropdown menu.
- Search for a name using the text box or user list.
Alternatively, find a user by cross-linking them from another report. Learn more about cross-linking users in reports.
Once you've chosen a user, use the compared to field to select which team you want to compare that user to. Click Included or Excluded to choose whether or not to include nested teams.
Note: Player card doesn't compare a user to the whole organization. Its intended use is to facilitate conversations about team contribution. If you'd like to understand how a user relates to all engineers in the organization, create a team that contains every engineer.
