Linking Related Work Items
TeamLook also enables you to establish connections between work items in the form
of links. If you drag a work item into another's attachments field, you will be
prompted to create a link between the two work items. You can also accomplish this
by clicking the "Link to" button designated by a chain and a green plus sign in
the Links tab or by right-clicking in the empty links field and selecting "Link
to."
The default link type is "Related," but you may choose from many different connection
types by editing the link. You may edit a link by highlighting the linked work item
in the links field and clicking the edit link button: designated by a sheet of paper,
chain, and pencil icon; or by right-clicking on the linked work item and selecting
"Edit Link..." You may delete links in the same manner. The delete button is designated
by a sheet of paper, chain, and red X icon. You may open a linked item by highlighting
it and clicking the sheet of paper and arrow icon, by right-clicking on the work
item and selecting "Open Linked Item," or by double-clicking on the linked work
item.
Linking work items provides a functional, visual connection between dependent elements
in a project. By adding links to a work item, you inform an individual how their
assignment fits into a greater whole. Also, they may easily reference related work
items because they are all connected.
