How to export a work item template?

Hi,

You could use RTC Eclipse Client for this..

After connecting to the Repository, choose :
File > Export > Team > Work Item Template > pick the Project Area and the specific template you would like to export.

 

Good Morning,

To be clear are you asking to export a work item template from one project area to another project area "that has the same Project / Template configuration" ?

If your projects have Exactly the same configuration:

(Just seen the other suggested method - which looks cleaner  but below is good also)

In Eclipse - find the Templates under work Items > make a note of the Identifier.

Select the Links tab and then in the Attachments you should find the Template ID.XML - Save as.

Then open your new Project Area and Add....   You should then see the new Shared Template listed.

Give that a try - but please only if the Project Area's have the same configuration.

Hi, Matt
You are right, I am actually want to import the template to the similar project area which I copied from the other project area process configuration xml file, but I find the work item template do not work. So I want to export/import work item template.
But I am not clear about your word "In Eclipse - find the Templates under work Items > make a note of the Identifie", I understand this step want to get the Template ID.xml, but I do not know how to do it? Can you give more instruction? Thanks very much!

Hi

The Actual File is held as an Attachment in the <Links tab> within the Project Area Config.

The Description and Identification - is in the <Process configuration tab>  > Work Items > Templates.

However saying all that looks like Dinesh has a nice way to Export the Work Item Template.
