Some questions on Work Item management
Hi,
Some questions on WI: 1) I don't see "Newly Assigned Work" in the My Work View? 2) Why is a "tag" field required? 3) comment 5, and attachment 982 - These quick links not working! 4) Why "Simple Query" and "Full Text Query" provided when the same can be achieved through "Start from Scratch" query? 5) From the help: "You can also enter text in the same entry field. The matching work items appear in the results table. The value in the Score column indicates how likely it is that the work item matches the text specified in the query." <Theju> Not working. Searches only in the Summary field and that too for a full word. 6) The Work Item editor returns work items that contain similar text as the current work item. <Theju> This works only in the summary field. 7) "To configure a small pop-up alert: Click Window > Preferences. Expand General and select Notifications. Under Feeds, select Batch of Items Received or Item Received. Specify the conditions under which you should receive an alert. Select the type of alert." <Theju> What is Batch of Items Received or Item Received?? 8) Recent Work section in Team Central is not getting updated! Is this a bug? 9) How to use alias? Looks like alias is not working! |

Hi Patrick,
Thanks for your post! 1) I don't see "Newly Assigned Work" in the My Work View? |
1) I don't see "Newly Assigned Work" in the My Work View? Do you have multiple project areas? Are you connected to the right one? 2) Why is a "tag" field required? We don't require 'Tags' in our process templates, so your project is explicitly configured this way. 3) comment 5, and attachment 982 - These quick links not working! Are the links not detected as links or are the links not opening the attachment or jumping to the comment when clicking on them? Are they not working for these specific numbers or in general? 4) Why "Simple Query" and "Full Text Query" Because we tried to provide short-cuts to frequently used combinations of conditions. There was some discussion around whether this is actually useful or not. 5) From the help: "You can also enter text in the same entry The full text search does not only search the summary field. Dou you have an example where you think it was only looking in the summary? 6) The Work Item editor returns work items that contain similar text No, this takes other fields into account as well, although the weight of the summary contents may be higher than for other fields. 8) Recent Work section in Team Central is not getting updated! Is this Did you use the 'Start working', 'Stop working' actions? The recent work section refers to the history of 'Current Work Items'. 9) How to use alias? Looks like alias is not working! Do you have some steps that describe what you consider as not working? I assume you configured an alias like 'todo' for a work item type and when you typed 'todo 2435' in e.g. a work item comment it was not detected? -- Regards, Patrick Jazz Work Item Team |

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.
