How to open TFS Power Tools - Alerts Explorer

Question

I have TFS 2010 and Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and the April TFS 2010 Power Tools installed. I am a Project Collection Administrator on my TFS Server (so permissions should not be an issue).

I want to open the alerts explorer, but when I right click on a project tab it is not there:

Just in case I tried upgrading to the March version of the TFS 2010 Power Tools. There was no change.

Opening the "Project Alerts" just gets me the normal Alerts dialog. I need to make a new alert.

Any ideas how I can get the missing menu item back?

Edit: I tried manually adding the menu item to the context menu. But I cannot find Alerts Explorer in any of the command lists.

Answer 1

It seems Alerts Explorer is no longer available in Team Project menu.

To create an Alert, you can open Alerts Explorer in following ways:

1. From the Team menu in Visual Studio, click Alerts Explorer.

2. From the Team Explorer window, right-click the server\team project collection and then click Alerts Explorer.

3. For Work Items, you can Right Click a Work Item and choose 'Alert on change..'.

4. For Source Control, Right Click Source Control Items and choose 'Alert on Change..'.
