If you are using Formal Project Management process template, the actual start date is the date when the work item state is changed to In Progress.
You can find the information from article https://jazz.net/library/article/663/
In the Formal Project Management process template, there are also Planned Start Date and Proposed Start Date in a work item. You can refer to https://jazz.net/library/article/658 how the value is calculated.

Actual start date value is not stored in work item, but stored in plan.

The Actual Start Date is a calculated value, which is visible in plan view. The value is set based on the work item state change (from New to In progress).

I saw you asked another question about get Actual Start Date in BIRT report. I don't think the calculated value is stored in data warehouse and can be retrieved.

is it possible to pull resolution date in birt report ?

I'm not an expert on BIRT. I suggest you check https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/DataWarehouseSnapshotSchemas20.

You may look Workitem_States table of Workitems snapshot.

Hi Lily,


Able to include actual start date in birt, thank you very much.

Hello All,

I am using RTC 5.0.2 and created a project with Formal Process template.

When I change the task status to In-progress I see that the plan captures the acutal start date.

However when the task is resovled then both the actual start date and resolution date is set to one and the same.

Has anyone experienced this ?

Thanks

What is the start date field name of user story on RTC query (Work Items > Query menu)? I created a query to get the Start Date and Resolution Date of a User Story but the Start Date is blank. The Modified Date are with values. I'm using the browser to run my query. On Release Plan, I can see the Actual Start Date but this is not available on the query list of fields/columns.

I saw this in another post but I don't understand the reply.

for your Start Working date you would have to write a Participant extension or value provider
or a report to get this out of the workitem history
