Add Queries to Team Favourites in the Process Template - TFS2012

Question

We are using the Agile Process Template of TFS2012 (slightly modified) and I want to add queries to Team Favourites in the template so that they will be automatically added on creation of a new team project. We want to see the same queries for every team project.

I have modified the template so that instead of the 3 Iterations being created (Iteration 1, Iteration 2 & Iteration 3), it just creates a single Iteration named 'Current'. I have then updated all of my queries to point to the 'Current' iteration instead of Iteration 1. Now I need to add these queries to Team Favourites so that they display on the web screens automatically.

Can this be done?

Thanks

Answer 1

Pretty sure that queries are relative to one team project, and one only.

Displaying queries on the Team Favorites section can be achieved by following these steps:

1. From the team home page, click the link for View work items

2. In the work item page left pane, find the query that you want to show

3. Right click on the query name

4. Select 'Add to team favorites'"

Also see the following article, the section on Shared Queries:
