<div>Hi Zack,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This sounds like exactly what I need but I’m unable to test it out. My project is currently on the free edition of CDash and so I cannot create a new BuildGroup. It would be really great if I could edit the type of one of the three basic groups (nightly,
experimental, continuous). Setting up a silver account would require me to jump through several hoops.</div>

<div dir="ltr">I just merged a branch into master that should help you keep results on the dashboard longer. If you create a new BuildGroup (on manageBuildGroup.php) you'll see a new field: "Build Type". If you mark this new group as "Latest" then it will
display its most recent results, no matter when they occurred. To define what should appear in this group, navigate over to the "Dynamic BuildGroups" pane and add some rows.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I plan on writing up a blog post with more thorough instructions on how to use this new feature, but I figured you all might appreciate a sneak peak. Please let me know how this new feature suits your needs if you get a chance to test it out.</div>

<div>In fact we do have a version of cdash that allows us to do daily or weekly reports. We would like it to be more general than it currently is.</div>

<div>Hello,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My current project has a number of “Nightly” tests that run for several days. The issue I’m having is that these builds are posted to CDash and only remain on the Nightly dashboard for about 24 hours. I really love for the dashboard to display a build
until a newer build with the same name is submitted. Is this possible?</div>

<div>Not that I know of. As you noticed, CDash currently only supports reporting build results on a day to day basis. It would be nice if this behavior could be configured differently per build group: daily, weekly, last N builds, etc. As things are now,
the only workaround I can think of would be to resubmit the same .xml files day after day.</div>
