Areas and Iterations
Organizing the areas and iterations on your Microsoft Team Foundation Server is
important to establish structured workflow. TeamLook allows you to maintain the
areas and iterations of your server from within Microsoft Office Outlook 2010. Click
on the "Areas and Iterations" button on the TeamLook tab of the ribbon bar.
This opens a window that organizes area and iteration in a convenient tree.
Select your desired server and project from the drop-down menus at the top of the
window. The Area tab will be open as a default. To modify the iteration, click on
the Iteration tab to bring it to the front. Each tree is modified in the same way:
six simple buttons in a toolbar above the tree. The first button, "Add a child node,"
creates a new node as a child of the node you have highlighted in the tree. Give
it a descriptive name and hit enter. The red X, "Delete node," removes the highlighted
node from the tree. The arrows up and down move a node up and down amongst its siblings,
but will never move a node out from under its parent. The arrows left and right
move a highlighted node out (further left) to become a sibling of its parent, or
in (further right) to become a child of its sibling. When you have created and adjusted
trees to delineate area and iteration, click close to exit and save your changes.
