Creating a new process template

 Hi Sean,

In Eclipse client, right click on the Project area and select Open. Go to the Process Configuration Tab then under Project Configuration -> Configuration Data ->  WorkItems select Types and Attributes. On the right hand side you will notice Task as one of the available workitems and just under the same list view there is an Add button (along with Remove) to add a WorkItem type.

In the Web Client, visit the ../ccm/admin  page and select your Project area from the Active Project areas list. From the Left hand panel, select WorkItems and then Types and Attributes. Click on the Add button just besides the WorkItem Types list box.

Exactly what I wanted to do. Source code currently lives elsewhere, for now I only needed simple defect / task tracking (and some kind of story/enhancement type which could have multiple tasks attached to it), so I chose the "simple team process" (seemed like a better bet than "scrum process"). I couldn't find any doc on simple team process so just chose it blind. And ... you don't get anything except for tasks, and the "add a work item type" functionality doesn't give you access to anything else. It would be nice to have a template with defect / task / story work items defined - scrum is a bit over the top for such a simple scenario and just adding defect to the simple template would make it much more vauable.

I guess I have to either delete this project area, make a new one, and choose scrum this time or make a defect type manually ?

Needless to say project organisation and admin isn't my main job by any means, so I was hoping for a quick answer in RTC !
