MS VSTS How do I view Requirements in a tree

Question

We are in the process of evaluating VSTS as a Requirements/Test Management platform.

Is there a way of viewing Requirements (Or Work Items in General) in a tree structure?

I have tried but can't find any way of doing it.

Cheers

If you mean map child work items to parents and show the work items in a tree structure, then you can try below ways:

• In Backlog:

  You can set Parents to Show and click the expand ＋ icon to expand one level of the hierarchy (click twice to expand two levels). See Show parents and expand the tree hierarchy

• In query:

  Use the tree query (Tree of work items) to view a multi-tiered, nested list of work items. See Use a tree query to view hierarchies
