Is it possible to add customs entries to Inbox, Current Work and
Future work section of My work view. Can someone please guide me in
this regard

Hi Yogesh, the MyWork view is not extentable. Its sections always show
work items and/or abscenses. What is it you are wishing for in these
sections?

 Hi Atul,

Hi Rupa,

Actually adding sections to Team Dashboard wouldn't be appropriate for our usages. This task I had completed two months back, but forgot to put that in the forum.

I could add a separate section in the "My Work" view; I had to use some restricted APIs though.

Here's how it looks now:


For creating content-implementation of this section, I had to extend AbstractPlanItemViewerSection which allowed me to add my custom entries into it. I used composite directly for this.

Following were the plugin.xml changes:

For adding a section with the "My Work" view:
<extension
        point="com.ibm.team.jface.sectionPerspective">
        <perspective
            id="com.ibm.tr.eclipse.client.viewelements.mywork"
            requiredInstance="com.ibm.team.apt.internal.ui.myWorkView"
            isDefault="true"
            name="Pending Reviews">           
            <section
                id="com.ibm.tr.eclipse.client.viewelements.SectionPendingReviews"
                isExpanded="true"
                name="Pending Reviews"
                priority="80"/>
        </perspective>
    </extension>

For creating section:
       <extension
        point="com.ibm.team.jface.expandableSection">
        <expandableSection
            id="com.ibm.tr.eclipse.client.viewelements.SectionPendingReviews"
            requiredInstance="com.ibm.team.apt.internal.ui.myWorkView"
            class="com.ibm.tr.eclipse.client.viewelements.SectionPendingReviews"
            name="Pending Reviews"
            isOpenable="true"
            isCloneable="false"
            hideChevron="true"/>
    </extension>

Here, SectionPendingReviews class is an implementation class of com.ibm.team.apt.internal.ide.ui.mywork.AbstractPlanItemViewerSection
