Manage work item sources

Add work item sources to tickets, issues, defects and other work items into the TeamForge project and traceability context.

Work item sources bring tracker data into Orchestrate for archival of meta data, participation in traceability, and activity reporting. This document describes the process to add a new work item source.

Note: TeamForge trackers are added automatically as sources, both on upgrade and when new trackers are defined in the TeamForge project context.
  1. From the activity stream, click Manage Sources.
  2. Select the Work item toggle. TeamForge Orchestrate displays all existing "work item" sources.

You can choose to edit an existing source, or create a new work item source.

  1. To edit an existing work item source, click Edit. You can edit the display name, while all other properties are system defined.
  2. To create a new work item source, click Add a new source.
    1. Provide a display name for the work item source that is depicted on all screens in the TeamForge Orchestrate user interface. The display name can be up to 100 alphanumeric characters in length.
  3. Click Done to save.

    TeamForge Orchestrate saves the new work item source, and activates it.
