Portal Customization

Greetings,

Applogies if this has been asked before - I can't seem to get the search feature working at the moment.

I want to setup our Team Project portal so that we have certain information on the start page.

I would like to have a list of the current work items for the user that is hitting the page. I would prefferably want to have the "My Work Items" Team Query to be run. I can't seem to find a way to run queries by a URL. That method failing, I assume you would be able to run the "Work Items" report - however, I don't know how to limit the report to the currently logged in user. What would I need to do to pass those parameters to the report generation

If anyone can assist, I would be very grateful!

Cheers,
-Brad

    We have been discussing doing this at great length.  This has been a popular request; see http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=153214&SiteID=1

    The short answer is that there is no easy way of doing this short of you writing an ASP page that uses the Work Item Tracking OM.

     

    We are working on a sample web part which would have a drop down of queries, execute the query, iterate and return the max page size results (200 ) and hyperlink to the work item web view. 

     

    In addition to that we are working on a sample RSS feed that would allow you to subscribe to a query.

     

    In general, we believe what customers want is web access to work item data - not web access over latent reporting data.  The warehouse is best suited to produce aggregate data over time.
