Work Item Parent and child report


Russell Norlund (213) | asked Jun 21 '10, 2:57 a.m.
I would like to create a simple report that shows work items and their children e.g.:

Work Item Parent 1 (Details)
- Work Item child 1 (Details)
- Work item child 2 (Details)
Work Item Parent 2 (Details)
- Work Item child 1 (Details)
and so on...

Is BIRT the best way to achieve this or is there a simpler way?

russellnorlund,

I want the same report as you, I have already opened work item according to that, and I have a simple, where you can put work item id as a parameter, and get all of its children. But, thing what I need is this what you mentioned.
So If you could customize report, I can send you a rptdesign which works in way I explained to you, or you can download it from this site:
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ReportsCentral#Links

it's called Links.rptdesign.

So, If you succeed to get this, I would like to help..

Regards,

Hi Milan, The report is a step in the right direction. However, I want something that displays all the children of a particular work item type e.g:


Epic 1
- story
- story
Epic 2
- Story
etc

so there is some work to do on the report. I will take another look when I have got some more time.

Kind Regards

Russell

Hi Russellnorlund,

I have a simple report showing the list of work item parents and its children. You can tailor it to your needs. If you want,
I can attach it to you.

Hi Milan, I have a same requirement as Russellnorlund. I have seen the Links.rptdesign from the Reports Central too. But I'm not able to fetch child WIs for list of parent WIs. If you provide any sample report then it will be helpful for me to achieve my requirement. 1000's of thanks in advance.
