Using variables in dashboard template with work items

Hi,

I'm building dashboard templates for teams with RTC 2.0.0.2. I can use context based parameters with reports, such as '{Current Project Area}' or '/${scope-path}' using mementos. I would like to do the same with the work item statistics viewlet, so that I do not have to create the same query 20 times for all the teams on the project, and then add those 20 different queries to 20 dashboards. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Kieron

Hi Kieron,

Unfortunately, there isn't any alternative mechanism for priming the Work Item Statistics viewlet in dashboard templates other than using the predefined work item query string IDs.
e.g. com.ibm.team.workitem.queries.predefined.recentlyModified

The RTC 3.5/4.0 release plan includes a feature to parameterize work item query values and allow those values to be primed in dashboard templates.
See the following work items for details:

Thanks,

Mike
