Querying work items
Two questions:
1) When I write a work item query against the Jazz development server, are
there other options than what is there? For example, on Jazz.net, the
only way to query a user is by choosing their full name from the list.
Can I query by their domain name instead (show me all WIs where the creator
had a domain other than ibm.com)? or partial information (show me all WIs
where the creator had a *Smit* as part of their name)?
2) Once I create the query, is there any way to share the query with one or
two other people without making it a shared query that everyone can see?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Paula
This is currently not possible. Support for creating queries which span
more than only the work item model is something we would like to support
in the future, though.
Queries can currently be shared within a team area. All members of the
team area (and anybody who signaled interest in the team area by
configuring their TAN filter) will see the query. In addition to that,
support for sharing by process role is planned, too (e.g. a query could
be shared among all users that have the PMC role).
Sharing queries with a specific group of people is currently not
supported directly, but I could think of two ways around this limitation:
- RCP: You could share the query, have the other people add it to their
favorites, then unshare it.
- WebUI: You and the other people could create a browser bookmark with
the query URL.

Paula, both of the above will now be possible with M3.
