Exploration Detail
The exploration detail page is a two-column workspace. The left column is the action zone — template fields, the session log for recording findings, and the results timeline. The right column is the reference panel — metadata, cycle, linked issues, tags, and contributors. The header provides quick access to the exploration state, creation date, and management actions.
Think of it as a lab notebook
The header is the notebook cover — title, state, and date. The left column is the pages: the template fields card is the experiment setup (recorded once), the session log is where you write observations entry by entry, and the results timeline is the running record of everything you have found so far. The right column is the reference margin — metadata, cycle information, linked issues, labels, and who has contributed.
Header
- Title — the exploration name, displayed prominently.
- State badge — the current lifecycle state with icon and colour.
- Created date — when the exploration was created.
- Close button — closes the exploration. Visible when the exploration is not closed and you have the Edit explorations permission.
- Edit button — opens the edit modal. Visible when the exploration is not closed.
- More menu (three-dot) — Edit, Close exploration, Delete. Visibility depends on permissions and whether the exploration is closed.
Left column
Template card
Displays the template name in a read-only card. Shows “Unassigned” if no template is selected.
Template fields card
A responsive grid showing all custom field values from the selected template. Fields are read-only on the detail page — to change values, click the Edit button. Supported field types: TEXT, STRING, CHECKBOX, DROPDOWN, MULTI_SELECT, INTEGER, FLOAT, DATE, LINK.
Session log
The core interaction area for logging findings. Three elements:
- Rich-text notes editor — write observations using formatting tools (bold, italic, lists, headings, code blocks, links) and upload inline images via drag-and-drop or clipboard paste. The editor is disabled when the exploration is closed.
- Result Type dropdown — select a status for this entry from the project’s exploration-scoped statuses. The “Untested” status is excluded.
- Add button — saves the notes and status as a new result entry. The entry appears immediately in the results section below.
- Clear button — resets the editor and dropdown without saving.
The session log is the primary way to record findings. Unlike test runs, there are no test cases or steps to execute. Each result entry is a standalone observation — write what you found, classify it, and add it to the timeline. See Logging Results for a detailed walkthrough.
Summary stats
Displayed in the session log header area:
- Total results — count of all result entries logged so far.
- Pass rate — percentage of results with a success-classified status.
- Activity grid — a row of coloured cells representing recent results by status, giving a visual snapshot of the exploration’s trajectory.
Results section
A reverse-chronological timeline of all logged results. Each result card shows:
- User avatar and name (who logged it)
- Timestamp (when it was logged)
- Status badge with icon and colour
- Issues link with count (if external issues are linked to this result)
- Rich-text notes rendered with full formatting
- Inline image attachments
Use the filter dropdown at the top to show “All types” or only results with a specific status.
Pagination: 100 results per page. A Load More button appears when additional results are available.
Right column (metadata sidebar)
About card
Shows the exploration’s core metadata:
- State — lifecycle state badge with icon and colour
- Created — creation date
- Environment — the platform combination, or blank if unassigned
- Estimate — the time estimate formatted as hours and minutes (e.g. “1h 30m”), or blank if not set
Cycle card
Displays the assigned cycle name with its icon. The name is a clickable link to the cycle detail page. A status badge shows whether the cycle is Active, Inactive, or Completed. Shows “Unassigned” if no cycle is linked.
Issues card
Aggregates all external issues linked to result entries in this exploration:
- Total linked issues count
- Count of results that have linked issues
- Link issue button — visible if you have the Manage external references permission
- Issue list showing up to 4 issues by default, with a “+N more” indicator for additional items
- Each issue shows: key, source (e.g. Jira, GitHub), scope, relation type, and status
Tags card
Displays all tags assigned to the exploration, each with its icon and colour. Shows “No tags” if none are assigned.
Contributors card
Shows avatars and names of all users who have logged results on this exploration. This is derived automatically from result history — anyone who adds a result becomes a contributor.
