Can I use filed against as a filter in a Work Breakdown?
I have a Sprint Backlog plan that I am viewing as a Work Breakdown. I don't see any way to get the Work Breakdown view to let me select work items with a particular category (Filed Against). I would like to be able to look at a work breakdown of just items from one, or possibly two, categories. Can this be done with a work breakdown view, or any view/plan type combination for that matter?
I know that I can set up a Query to give me just the work items of that category but is there a way to do it with a view/plan?
Accepted answer
As far as I can tell, in classic planning, you can
- Group by category
- Color categories

Hi Ralph,
Thank you for the information. I always appreciate the breadth of your knowledge. So, I see where I can group either by category or user but apparently not both. So I can't group first by category and then within that, group by owner, correct? And while it's possible to group by category, I cannot apply a filter to include only work items from a single category in the work breakdown view, which is what I am trying to do. I am including a screenshot of my attempt to apply a color to a category (Nexus) and wanted to see if it was correct. TY
As far as I can tell, you can only group by one aspect.
I am not aware of any way to define your own filters, you can only use the ones provided.
Thank you Ralph
