Are you customizing the Team Foundation Server Work Items? But you don’t have a clue about all the possible fields? Last week I found this blog post by KathrynE.
Here are two new resources you can use to look up a definition and quickly see which fields are written to the relational database and which are stored in the Analysis Services cube. These cover all the fields defined in the process templates that Team Foundation Server 2012 provides.
- Work Item Field Reference for Visual Studio ALM: Provides an index to all fields used in the default process templates that TFS 2012 provides. Each field links to a topic that describes the field and its default attribute assignments.
- Reportable Fields Reference for Visual Studio ALM: Provides a description of all fields that are reportable, and whether they appear in the cube, and which ones are a measure.
For an overview of the attributes that are defined for each field, see Work Item Field Attributes - What You Can and Can't Change.
