How to provide default Work Item Templates?
![]()
I'm looking for a way to provide a set of work item templates by default for new projects. I'd be ok with either having the WI templates created automatically on Project Area creation through the process template or by having them shared down through a master shared project area. Does anybody have any ideas on how to do this?
I did find this WI on the topic but it doesn't seem to have any ideas... I'd also be willing to even do something crazy like hooking into a Project Area created event and invoking the WI template import, although this would not be preferred. If this is the route to take does anybody have any hints on APIs available to invoke the WI template import? |

As you already mentioned, the work item template is the way to go. Just this additions:
1. If you have existing project areas that should make use of a work item template of another project area, than you have to export the work item template from RTC client and import it into the other project area. Choose File->Export->Team->work item template to export the desired template to an XML-File. So you do not have to change the process configuration source for that. 2. If you want to add work item templates to a process template, than you can add it in the configuration data->work items->Templates section of the process configuration. In the end if you are satisfied with the selection of work item templates in your project area you can extract a new process template from that (as alreday mentioned above) and use that to establish project areas. |
