Creating Work Items from an Existing Work Item
TeamLook provides for more efficient work item creation by giving you the ability
to create a new work item from an existing work item. If you need to create a work
item that is very similar to one that you have already created you can copy that
item. That way you start out with a work item that is already filled out rather
than starting from scratch. Open the existing work item; or simply save, but do
not close the work item if you have just completed it and now need to create a similar
item. Click on the "Copy Work Item" button in the upper-right of the window.
An identical, pre-populated window will open on top of the previous work item. It
is distinct, however, in that the window will be labeled "(New)" in the upper-left
corner rather than labeled with a work item number.
If you need to create a work item that is related to an existing item, you can create
a new work item, publish it, and then forge the link as described in the previous
section. However, TeamLook provides for a more efficient method. Open the existing
work item; or simply save, but do not close the work item if you have just completed
it and now need to create a linked item. Click on the "Create Related" button in
the upper-right of the window.
Then choose the link type, choose the new work item type, title the new work item,
add any necessary comments, and click ok.
You will now have a form to create the new work item with the link already established.
