Need to create combine detail report for different work item types in RTC
I have a requirement to create customize Change request work item in RTC which has a conditional workflow, i have 4 type of Change Requests (like: Global, local etc) and on the basis of specific conditions i need to enable different workflow for each Change Request, my conditions are very complex if i'll got with conditional workflow then i need to develop plug-ins ti implement those conditions on my workflow but as far as i know RTC by default doesn't support conditional workflow, RTC workflow is State base.
So just to avoid developing plug-in i have decided to make 4 separate workflows for each Change Request type now the question is, will RTC provide me to create detail report containing the information of all 4 change request types work item ? OR it will only create report for single work item type at a time.
I report i need to see complete details information about each change request like how many are in pending, how many are in competed with respect to their types
One answer
Depending how heavy you customize the work item types, I doubt the built-in reports will suit your need any more. In any case, you'd better develop your own reports. See the below articles for more details.
