The Sample Excel Report template can be seen in the below image.
After you have uploaded the template, you can update, export, and delete the uploaded templates, as required.

Map the System Fields (e.g., Test Script ID, Test Script Name, etc.) in the Test Procedures table of the uploaded sample template to insert test data into the exported report.
Custom Fields
This tab lets you add fields in your report which is not present in the System Fields.
Click on the Add Tags icon to add a new tag which will let you differentiate between test cases.
Subsequent buttons will let you move the tags up and down and also let you remove the tag when required.
Critical Parameter
The Critical Parameter feature creates a detailed Excel Execution Report for Test Cases, showing parameter information from Function Libraries, including names, values, test case description, status, and timing.
Download the XML file for Critical Parameters from the download button.
Select the crucial parameters for inclusion in the report. In the XML file, specify the names of both Input and Output Parameters to be uploaded to the Critical Parameter tab.
Upload the data from the Upload button. Uploading data again will replace and update existing data in the tab, removing the old information. Click on refresh button to view the updated xml file.
