Welcome
Working with Loops
A loop is a workflow that connects DevOps activities of your team from planning and development through build, deployment, testing, and release phases.
Dashboards and insights
The dashboard consolidates data from all capabilities, such as Plan, Code, Control, Build, Test, Release, and Deploy, by offering a centralized view of the status. Dashboards are available with both summary and detailed perspectives, and they filter information specific to each loop.
AI-powered search
When you want to search work items, records, and related data in DevOps Loop, you can use the search bar to locate information across multiple capabilities. You can search across a wide set of artifact types, including issues, builds, tool requests, commits, and deployments, and you can filter results by loop or by category to quickly narrow your search.

Working with Loops
A loop is a workflow that connects DevOps activities of your team from planning and development through build, deployment, testing, and release phases.
- Loop management
  The loop consists of several interconnected phases that ensure continuous software development, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
- Learning Loop overview
  Learning loop provides preloaded sample datasets across multiple DevOps Loop capabilities. It helps you learn and practice workflows by exploring sample projects, work items, and configurations without starting from an empty setup.
- Dashboards and insights
  The dashboard consolidates data from all capabilities, such as Plan, Code, Control, Build, Test, Release, and Deploy, by offering a centralized view of the status. Dashboards are available with both summary and detailed perspectives, and they filter information specific to each loop.
  - Viewing dashboards
    You can view the overview and detailed dashboards for the loops in your teamspace. The dashboards display key metrics such as issues, workloads, builds, deployments, milestones, lead time, and cycle time. Data is shown only for loops of which you are a member, based on your access rights.
  - Editing dashboards
    You can customize the dashboard view by applying filters and selecting specific metrics such as test results, build history, or deployment status to focus on the data most relevant to your loop.
  - AI-powered search
    When you want to search work items, records, and related data in DevOps Loop, you can use the search bar to locate information across multiple capabilities. You can search across a wide set of artifact types, including issues, builds, tool requests, commits, and deployments, and you can filter results by loop or by category to quickly narrow your search.

AI-powered search

When you want to search work items, records, and related data in DevOps Loop, you can use the search bar to locate information across multiple capabilities. You can search across a wide set of artifact types, including issues, builds, tool requests, commits, and deployments, and you can filter results by loop or by category to quickly narrow your search.

You can search for epics, defects, and stories across Plan, and the results are presented as interactive cards that include metadata. From these cards, you can directly access associated URLs for pull requests (PRs), commits, and builds, making it easy to move from search results to action.

You can generate AI summaries of search results to quickly understand the context of work items, issues, and related data. These summaries are generated for the top five results on each page, helping accelerate decision-making by providing quick insights as you navigate through your results.

Note: AI summaries are available only if the OpenAI or watsonx integration is enabled in DevOps Loop. If neither integration is enabled, DevOps Loop will not generate summaries.

Search results are automatically filtered based on your access rights. You will only see documents and records associated with loops of which you are a member, ensuring that sensitive data remains secure and collaboration across teams is controlled. This ensures that results are fully scoped to the current user, preventing visibility into team spaces you do not belong to.
