Some backlogs are not display on menu 'Backlog' at TFS 2015

I'm using TFS 2015, with Scrum process template.

I noticed that some backlogs are not displayed using menu 'Backlog' or 'Board' and are just displayed on query or search. I'm sure that it is not related with a specific iteration. I got experiences this issues sometimes. It makes me missing some backlogs when I organize the backlogs.

Can I get an information to solve this situation? I'm sure that query is no problem, however some managers want to use without doing something.

For example: normally, The backlogs are displayed as follows.

backlog: #1234 (child:#5678 bug : #5678 (parent:#1234)

However, In this case, #5678 is just displayed and #1234 isn't. so, I have to query to see #1234 or search on #1234 If I want to see.

I hope there are displayed all backlogs on TFS normally.

Solution

  • Please make sure you have enabled the Show Parents and expand the tree hierarchy on the Backlog.

    UPDATE:

    You need to clarify your question. What's that mean for "backlog" you mentioned here? a PBI or just a bug?

    If you can not see the Parents wits, then you need to enable Parents: Show.

    If you mean the Bugs can not be displayed on the Backlog, then you can set the Working with bugs in SETTINGS just as you mentioned.

    If you mean you cannot see other Backlog navigation levels, then just select the specific Backlog navigation level in SETTINGS- > General -> Backlogs -> Backlog navigation levels
