Viewing your work item history

Jazz™ keeps track of the work items that you work on and the queries that you run, and provides several ways for you to conveniently access that history.
About this task
You can see the history of changes made to a specific work item; access the results of queries you previously ran; and see a daily history of work items that you opened in the work item editor.
  • To see the history of changes made to a work item, run a query to retrieve the work item, then double-click the work item entry in the results grid in the Work Items view.

    In the work item editor, click the History tab. The History tab shows a complete history of changes for the work item going back to its creation. The most recent change appears first. A calendar bar at the top of the tab is segmented into weekly sections. Weeks in which changes were made to the work item are highlighted in blue. Click the week to see a summary of the changes made during that week. Use the Zoom In and Zoom Out icons to adjust the calendar focus to days, weeks, or months. Use the arrows at either end of the calendar bar to scroll forward or backward in time.

  • To access results of queries you previously ran, in the Work Items view click the Show Previous Query Results toolbar icon. The Query History window displays the names of the queries you ran in order with the most recently run query at the top of the list. Next to each name is the number of items the query returned. Double-click an entry to see the results in the results grid.
  • To see a history of the work items that you have opened in the work item editor, expand the Work Item History folder in the Team Artifacts view. The folder lists the work items you opened today. Beneath those items are folders for items you opened on previous days. The folder have names such as 2 days ago, 3 days ago, 5 days ago and so on. Double-click a work item to open it in the work item editor.

    You can also use the Recent Work section in the Team Central view to see work items that you have worked on recently. From the Team Central Menu icon, select Visible Sections > Recent Work to display the section.
