Creating a Work Item from the Ribbon Bar

To create a new work item from the ribbon bar, click the "New Work Item" button in the TeamSpec tab.

The new work item button.

This opens a drop down menu that lists the available work item types for the server and project that you are currently connected to. Selecting a work item type will open the corresponding form.

By clicking the new work item button you can access a drop-down menu listing new work item types for your current project.

You will now have a new, mostly empty work item form. It is a window with a number of fields that allow you to classify an assignment. Required fields will be indicated by a pale yellow background. The top half of the form allows you to designate the work item: to assign it to a specific person, to schedule it, to prioritize it in the workload, and to classify where in the project it will be stored. The bottom half of the form allows you to input information that will be important to the individual it is assigned to. When you are finished, click "Save & Close." The new work item will be saved to the server.

The new work item form

 This is the only work item creation tool that TeamSpec offers that does not also create a reference to the new work item in your document.
