Saving a View

You can create custom views that specify which work items are displayed and how they are displayed. When you create a custom view, you can select it in the Work Items panel or from the Views panel.

As described in Searching for Work Items, you can search for work items based on various criteria. You can also choose how the work items in a view are displayed and sorted by creating a presentation.

To create and save a view:

  1. Define a set of filters following the instructions in Searching for Work Items.
  2. If you are satisfied with the results of the search, click Save As View to save the search as a view for future use. The Save View As« dialog box will appear.
  3. Fill in the Description text box. Optionally, specify a parent view (so your new view hangs from the parent view in the Views panel). Click Save.

Your view will have been saved with the search conditions specified. It will appear in the Views panel.

You may need to manually refresh the Views panel to see the new view.
