You can create custom views that specify which work items are displayed and how they are displayed. Work items can be displayed based on their process, assigned roles, and whether they meet certain conditional criteria. You can also choose how the work items are displayed and sorted with presentations.
To create a view:
In the left pane, click a view name.
In the View toolbar, click the Create View button.
In the Create View dialog box, configure View Properties:
Type a name in the View ID box using only alphanumeric characters.
Type a short description of the view in the Description box. The description will be used as the label for the view in the left pane of the WorkSpace window.
To display the view hierarchically under one of the existing views, select a view from the Parent View drop-down list. To display the view at the root level, set the drop-down list to blank.
To choose the presentation that will be used for the view, select a presentation from the Presentation Preview drop-down list. A preview of the work item columns appears. To edit the selected presentation, click the Edit Presentation button. To create a new presentation, click the New Presentation button.
In the Processes section, select checkboxes for each of the processes you want to include in the view.
To filter work items based on their role assignment, in the Filter Options section, configure the drop-down list for Get work items assigned to.
Note: To include aborted or completed work items in the view, you must select All for this option.
To filter work items based on their status, in the Include Work Items section, select checkboxes for each of the statuses you want to include.
Click Save.
