# Entities Introduced with the Integration

The following entities are introduced for the View Project Quality integration solution:

### The View Project Quality configuration page

This page allows administrators to register OpenText Application Quality Management instances for PPM to retrieve KPI information and quality matrices from OpenText Application Quality Management and to display the data on the Project Overview page in PPM.

To access the View Project Quality configuration page, from the Administration menu, click Integrations > View Project Quality with ALM Integration.

### QC/ALM Release Information field group

The QC/ALM Release Information field group can be added to new or existing request types for creating or modifying projects that are to be linked to OpenText Application Quality Management releases.

The field group contains the following fields:

Field | Description
--- | ---
QC/ALM Server | Retrieved from the OpenText Application Quality Management server registered on the View Project Quality configuration page.
QC/ALM Domain | Retrieved from the OpenText Application Quality Management server registered on the View Project Quality configuration page.
QC/ALM Project | Retrieved from the registered OpenText Application Quality Management Server.
QC/ALM Release | Retrieved from the OpenText Application Quality Management project.
SCORECARD URL | To display OpenText Application Quality Management scorecard on the Project Overview page in OpenText PPM, administrators need to define the scorecard as an analysis item in OpenText Application Quality Management so that project managers can paste the link into this field. For detailed information about defining the scorecard as an analysis item in OpenText Application Quality Management, see the OpenText Application Quality Management documentation.

### QC Integration Sync KPI Service

The QC Integration Sync KPI Service synchronizes quality KPI data from OpenText Application Quality Management to PPM. The default synchronization interval is `24` hours. You can set the synchronization interval on the Schedule Services page.

The QC Integration Sync KPI Service gets all valid OpenText Application Quality Management server configurations and loops through all configurations to retrieve KPI information from OpenText Application Quality Management and stores them in OpenText PPM database.

If the service found that the quality KPI for current day already exists, it skips the project and continues to process next project.

Only projects that are NOT cancelled, failed, closed, or complete will be synchronized.

For details about KPI data to be retrieved from OpenText Application Quality Management, see KPI data retrieved from OpenText Application Quality Management.

### Four default portlets included in the Project Overview page

After installation of PPM for newly created project types, the following new portlets are included in the Project Overview page by default and are displayed when there is data in the portlets.

Portlet | Description
--- | ---
Requirement Trends | Displays requirement status trend in the last 10 days. The requirement status includes requirement coverage.
Open Defect Trends | Displays open defects trend in the last 10 days. The open defects include open defects number and total defects number.
Priority Defect Trends | Displays trend of defects of higher severity in the last 10 days. The higher severity defects include defects of priority S1 and S2.
Project Quality Scorecard | Displays OpenText Application Quality Management release scorecard information. The scorecard portlet is displayed only when the ALM scorecard information is configured in the project request field of the Project Planning and Tracking (PPT) module in OpenText Application Quality Management.

However, if you create a project type by copying from an existing project type created in an earlier version of OpenText PPM, you need to manually add the new portlets to the Project Overview page on the Project Overview Layout policy page. For more information, see (Optional) Configure Project Overview Layout.
