TFS 2017 | TFS 2015 | TFS 2013
Prerequisites
Note
Adding charts to a dashboard requires TFS 2015.1 or later version. For TFS 2015, you can pin items to a team homepage. Consider upgrading to the latest TFS version to get access to the widget catalog and multiple team dashboards.
- You must be a member of a project. If you don't have a project yet, create one.
- You must have created the team dashboard to which you want to add a chart.
- If you haven't been added as a project member, get added now.
- To add, edit, or manage a team dashboard, you must have Basic access or greater and be added to the team administrator role for the team.
To learn more, see Default permissions and access for charts and dashboards.
Add a work item query or chart
You add work item queries and charts to a dashboard from the Queries page. Queries and charts must be associated with queries under the Shared queries folder.
Note
You can also add a work item query chart widget to a team dashboard.
First, make sure you've selected your team context. Only those dashboards created for a team appear in the context menu for each query or chart. Switch team context as needed.
If you aren't a team administrator, get added as one. Only team and project admins can add and customize team dashboards.
If you haven't yet created the dashboard, do that now.
From the charts Actions menu, select the team dashboard.
You can only add charts associated with shared queries. Charts associated with queries under My Queries folder won't display the Add to dashboard option.
Add an in-context work tracking report
Requires TFS 2015.2 or later version.
