You can customize the search for work items by creating
queries. A query consists of conditions that you want the search to
revolve around. For example, you can create a query that returns all
open work items for the current iteration. You can create as many
queries as you want.
Before creating a query, you must be connected to the project
area and must have Internet connection.
Rational® Team Concert Client for Microsoft® Visual Studio IDE uses
the Web client to create queries. You can create queries for either
your own use or for sharing it with the whole team.
To create a
query:
- In the Team Artifacts tool window,
expand the project area node, right-click Work Items and
click . Alternatively, you can create queries from
the Work Items tool window by clicking
icon. The internal Web browser opens.
- Log in to the Web client. The query editor
opens.
- Type in the query name and specify the conditions.
- Click Save. The query name is displayed
in the My Queries folder of Work
Items.
Now, you can run the query from the Team
Concert Client for Microsoft Visual
Studio IDE.
