I have a question about TFS. I want to add another column in Taskboard of Sprints board. I have ToDo, In Progress and Done columns and I want to add "In Test" Column before Done column. I could add another state to my project but I can't see that column in my Taskboard (I need it in Sprints view, not in Boards or Backlogs).why and how shoud i do for adding another column to my taskboard? I could do it in online version of TFS But I need this feature in server version. My process of project is scrum,too. Please help me to complete my project. Best Regards, Ali Khoeini

Solution

  • According to your description, seems you just want to add column in below page

    enter image description here

    Use these Steps:

    1. Export work item (e.g. task) through WitAdmin command.
    2. Add custom state to workflow section
    3. Export ProcessConfiguration process file through WitAdmin command.

    4. Add state item in TaskBacklog=>States section. For example:

      <States> <State type="Proposed" value="To Do" /> <State type="InProgress" value="In Progress" /> <State type="InProgress" value="In Test" /> <State type="Complete" value="Done" /> </States>

    5. Import modified work item file and process file to the team project
    6. Check the result in web access.

    Note: If you are using TFS 2012, please change the version for export process configuration article to 2012. It is different.

    As for more details how to use WitAdmin command to export and import process configure file. Please refer our official tutorial here--Import and export process configuration .The exported xml file could be edited through NotePad.
