Configure Test Export Templates

Polarion provides a default template for exporting Test Cases to Microsoft Excel. Administrators can download the default template file which can then be used as the basis for one or more custom templates. An administrator can upload customized template files which users can subsequently select as templates for Excel files generated by exporting Test Cases to Excel. Custom templates can be uploaded in the global scope, to serve as the default for new projects, or in specific projects.

Access the test export templates

  1. Log in with administrator permissions for the scope you want to access (global or project).

  2. Open the repository if you want to access the global templates, or open the relevant project. (See: Accessing Projects).

  3. In Navigation, expand Testing and select Test Export Templates.

    The Test Export Templates page loads in your browser displaying the existing templates for the current scope (if any).

Upload a custom export template file
