Adding a Work Item url to an email or web page.

Question

Can you add a TFS url link to an email body or in an html page so that users can go to TFS from a link.  We send out reports with WI(s) it would be nice to have the ability to click on a link to take you directly to this Work Item.

Answer 1

Yes, it's possible. Here's a few examples:

For Web Access 2008

If Web Access 2008 is installed at http: //server:8090;

http: //server:8090/wi.aspx?id=<workItemID>


For Web Access 2010

If TFS is installed at http: //server:8080/tfs

http: //server:8080/tfs/web/wi.aspx?id=<workItemID>&pcname=<projectCollectionName>

* Alternatively, you can use the GUID of the team project for better permenance:

http: //server:8080/tfs/web/wi.aspx?id=<workItemID>&pguid=<teamProjectGuid>
