To view those reports on multiple projects, do the following,

2. Share a project group with certain users or project user profiles.
3. qTest Manager users who have been shared with a project group will see its reports in the Report tab of any accessible projects. 

Create a Project Group

1. In the Site Administration page, click the Project Groups tab.
2. Click the + Add new group button. 
   
   
   
   
3. Click the project group name to rename it.
4. Select which projects to add to the project group by checking on their respective check boxes.
5. Click the Mapping button. 
   
   
   
   
6. Since each project has its own custom field settings, you must map the Test Run Status, Release and Defect Status of the project group with the values defined in each project.
7. A project group is pre-populated with default value sets for Test Run Status and Defect Status when it is created.  You can edit or define new values by clicking the Gear icon next to Test Run Status, Release or Defect Status.

     To delete a Project Group, hover over the desired project group.  Click on its x icon.
     
     

Sharing a Project Group
