If there are no views configured to retrieve the range of work items you want, you can perform a customized search for work items. Work item searches can be based on process, assigned roles, status, and whether the work items meet certain conditional criteria.
To search for work items:
In the WorkSpace window, in the upper right, click Search.
In the Search dialog box, in the Processes section, select checkboxes for each of the processes you want to include in the search.
To search for 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 search, you must select All for this option.
To search for work items based on their status, in the Include Work Items section, select checkboxes for each of the statuses you want to include.
To add conditions to the search:
In the Conditions section, select Match all of the following.
To add a condition, select a condition from the Add condition drop-down list and then click the plus icon next to the drop-down. The available conditions include the presentation columns for the work items, as well as any external variables created by the process designer.
Configure the variables for the condition.
Repeat the previous steps to add additional conditions.
To remove a condition, click the minus icon next to the condition.
Click Search. The search results are displayed in the Search dialog box.
Before closing the Search dialog box, save the search results as a view, if desired.
