Work Items tab (in Teams)
See all the Work Items from all Planners within a Team.
Tasks, stories, jobs, assignments, you name it. In Timebook, we have a collective term for it: Work Items. We have another article that describes the whole idea: Work Item concept
This article, however, explains the features of the [Work Items] tab. You can use this tab to track and manage all Work Items from all within one Team.
The [Work Items] tab in Teams is what we call a "roll-up view" as it rolls up work data from various places (Planners) across the Team and presents it nicely in one place. You can use the following features here:
[Edit] multiple Work Items at once. Press the dedicated button in the top-right corner, select several Work Items, and choose one of the .
[Find] specific Work Items by their name. Press the dedicated button in the top-right corner and start typing.
[Show filters] and use them to narrow down the number of Work Items on display. Press the dedicated button in the top-right corner and add filters based on different parameters. For more details, see Filters
[Layouts] can help you see the Work items from different perspectives. Press the dedicated button in the top-right corner and change the presentation styles and grouping to match your preferences. For more details, see Layouts
You can also press on any of the Work Items to see its details on a card. You can then edit the Work Item's parameters. For more details, see Work Item options and Work Item fields
You can drag and drop Work Items in this tab to change their position on the list or move them to a different group.
You can't create new Work Items in this tab. Its primary purpose is to show the existing Work Items across the Team.
However, new Work Items can be created on the Planner level, and this tab will include them once they are. For more details, see Work Items (in Planners)
