Your Favorites pane is a place where you can work with the TeamForge documents, tracker artifacts and tasks you use frequently.
You might be a member of multiple CollabNet projects, have a number of queries to track
your issues and tasks, and work with various documents across projects. You can find all of these
in the Site Explorer. However, you may be interested only in a few custom queries or documents on a
daily basis. Your Favorites is a location where you can drag and drop these items from the Site Explorer. Once
you've done that, you could even close the Site Explorer and other views, and do all your work in your Favorites
pane.
In the CollabNet Add-in Options dialog, you can specify whether the Favorites pane should be displayed when you add a new TeamForge site. (To bring up this dialog, select and click Add-In Options.)
-
Add a TeamForge item from the Site
Explorer to your Favorites using one of the following methods:
- Drag and drop the item.
- Right-click the item and select Add to favorites.
-
View query results or documents by clicking the query, document folder or document review.
Resulting table items have the same context menu options as Site Explorer items.
In addition, you can —- Open a tracker artifact, task or document by double-clicking its table entry.
- Add or remove table columns using Columns.
- Sort table columns and group them by dragging column headers above the table. Here's an
example of a tracker artifact query where the columns are grouped by status:
-
Download document folders from your TeamForge
site and work with them locally.
- Right-click a Microsoft Office document, work with it in the corresponding application, and save it, without having to download it from your site and then uploading it.
-
Export query results to a Microsoft Excel CSV file, Microsoft Excel worksheet or XML file.
-
Export query
settings so that other team members can obtain the same results without having to set
up the query themselves.
-
Use Query charts to see graphical results for tracker queries.
