Team Foundation Server 2012: Customize the quick add panel

On the TFS 2012 Product Backlog page on the Web Access, you’ll find the quick add panel, a fast and easy way to add new work items to your product backlog. By default, you can only specify a Title field but it is possible to customize it and add more fields.

Here are the required steps to customize the panel:

  • Open a command line console and navigate to the Visual Studio Common7\IDE folder(or open a Developer Command prompt for VS2012).
  • Call the Witadmin tool with the exportagileprocessconfig option to export the agile process configuration file.

witadmin exportagileprocessconfig /collection:http://tfsserver:8080/tfs/defaultcollection /p:ProjectName /f:c:\agileconfig.xml

  • Open the exported xml file and locate the AddPanel element.

  • Add a field element that specifies the reference name of the TFS field that you want to add to the panel.

witadmin importagileprocessconfig /collection:http://tfsserver:8080/tfs/defaultcollection /p:ProjectName /f:c:\agileconfig.xml

  • That’s it!

A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster.
