View

In this report it's possible to see a flattened list of coverable issues or just the top level ones (e.g. the top level parent requirements).

For example, if you're using Epics and Stories, if you choose the "Flat" view, then only the Epics will appear in the report, independently of whether the source data includes the sub issues or not. In this same scenario, you had chosen "Hierarchical" view, then only the Epics would be shown. 

• Hierarchical - only the parent coverable issues will be presented in the chart. Child issues can still be visualized in the overall details table.
• Flat - the parent/child relationship between coverable issues is not considered. All parent and child issues will be considered for the chart. 

Example

Each bar on the chart represents a group of Requirements with a different value provided by the grouping field. Stacked within each bar are the Requirements grouped by coverage status: OK, NOK, NOT RUN, UNKNOWN and UNCOVERED.
