Team Development with Visual Studio Team Foundation Server

6. In the Query Edit dialog box, click the Fields tab, select all the relevant fields you
want to display (including MyBug.CustomField.1) from the available columns, click
the > button, to move them to the Selected Columns pane.
If you do not see the custom field you have added, make sure that you have saved the
ProcessTemplate.xml file and then try again.
7. Click the Criteria tab, leave the And Or column blank, and then in the Field column,
select MyBug.CustomField.1. In the Operator column, select > and then in the
Value column, type “1”
Be sure to add quotes around the value 1 because the field is a string data type. If you
had selected integer or some other numeric type when creating the Security Impact
field, the quotes would not be necessary.
8. Click OK twice.
This query ensures that all work items that have “MyBug.CustomField.1” set to a value
greater than 1 will be displayed in the output of the query.
Note: The Process Editor does not provide comprehensive features for editing queries. It
is better to edit and test queries in a running team project in Visual Studio than in a
process template. You can then save the queries to files that can be imported into other
projects or copied into process templates.
Step 8 – Modify Areas and Iterations
In this step, you set up the default iterations and areas that are available at the time of
team project creation.
1. In the Process Template Explorer, click Areas & Iterations.
2. In the right pane, click the Areas or Iterations tab.
3. Use the toolbar in the right pane to add, remove, or move areas or iterations
For example, you can add a few default areas to organize projects created by using this
template as follows:
1. In the Process Template Explorer, click Areas & Iterations.
2. In the right pane, click the Areas tab.
3. Click the new button.
4. In the area name text field, type UI
5. Select Area, because you want the next area to be a child of the root area node.
6. Click the new button again.
7. In the area name text field, type Back End
Any new projects that use your process template will now automatically have a UI and
Back End area defined for them.
Step 9 – Modify Groups and Permissions
In this step, you modify, remove, or add groups and their permissions that are available at
the time of team project creation.
