Creating a custom folder template query

About this task

A build manager might need to create a folder template whose folders gather tasks with a particular property.

In this scenario, your team is developing two parallel releases at the same time. You want to set up a completed tasks folder to collect changes from both releases (in this scenario, release toolkit/2.1 and release toolkit/3.0).

Procedure

  1. Start the Query dialog box to find a folder template you want to copy.

    Find > Folder Templates

    The Query dialog box appears.

  2. Select the folder template you want to customize, then click Copy Folder Template.

    The Copy Folder Template dialog box appears.

  3. Set the following custom query:
    1. Set the first list to In State and set the state to completed.
    2. Set the For Release list to the appropriate release.
    3. Add another query clause for another release, if necessary.
    4. Set the Modifiable in Database list to the appropriate database name.
  4. Save the settings by clicking OK.
