export custom work items
Hi All,
If I have some customized work items in a project area on server A then is it possible to 'export' the definitions for these custom types across to a different project area on server B?
I've tried exporting/importing a process template but that doesn't seem to bring over the definitions of the customized work items.
Any help/advice is much appreciated :)
Cheers!

Sam,
what you can do today is create a process template from your customized process.
- From that template you can create new Projects that inherit your customizations.
- You can export the Template and import it on a different server, then create a project with your customizations.
Please note that configuring a project derived fro a template does not change the template. Therefore you have to create one first.

Thanks for your reply Ralph.
I've worked out that my problem was that when I came to create a new Project Area under the 'Project Area Management' link, my imported process wasn't listed there - as soon as I unticked the 'Fliter by Locale' box it appeared :)
Do you know where this locale is specified for the template? I don't remember seeing an option to specify it when I exported the template.

Sam,
unfortunately I don't. I think I remember I once saw some information on how to translate templates. If you export it, you get a zip file. Maybe you can find something there?
