Creating a Presentation

A presentation defines a column arrangement to be used when viewing instances in the Work Items panel. When looking at a view, you can use an existing presentation or create a new one to be associated with that view.

To create a presentation:

  1. You should have a view in the Work Items panel. If not, select a view from the Views panel.
  2. In the Work Items panel, click Add/Remove Columns. The Presentation dialog box will display, set in the Columns page.
  3. Click on the New Presentation icon (New Presentation), and enter the name of the presentation you will create in the Presentation Id text box.
  4. Under the Columns tab, you will see two list boxes, the Available Columns list box and the Presentation Columns list box. Select the columns you want to display from the first list and transfer them to the second by clicking on the right arrow (). Remove unwanted columns from the presentation by selecting them and clicking on the left arrow (). The set of columns you've chosen will appear in the Presentation Columns list box.
  5. To set the position of a column, select it on the Presentation Columns list box, and use the up () and down () arrows to move the column to the position desired.
  6. Optionally, you may set format and sorting options from the Format and Sorting tabs.
  7. Once you have set your presentation, click Save.

A new presentation will be saved under the name you have chosen. This presentation will be associated to the current view.
