    Customization of query columns in Teamlook

    Hi,

    Is there anyway to add new columns to the Work Item queries in Outlook? So far I'm seeing ID, Type, Title, Assigned To, Opened By, Changed Date & State fields in all queries through Teamlook. I really need the TS 'Rank' field shown in the query, or better still, for Teamlook to honour the columns in the original TS query or use the Outlook Field chooser to allow the user to customise the views.

    Please let me know if there is currently any way to customize the columns viewed in a team systems query through teamlook.

    Also, I can't find any Teamlook documentation in my installation or on your website. I may be missing something? If there is docs can I please get a link to their wherabouts?

    cheers,

    RichC

    Rich,

    Thank you for using TeamLook, I hope your experience has been a positive one!

    In the current version on the web, there is no way to customize the list of fields shown.  We are working on this functionality and hope to have a new version in the coming months.  We are aware this is a highly desirable feature and we are diligently trying to get it implemented in a smart and efficient way (there are some considerable issues with customizing the Outlook view on the fly).

    The is no documentation installed with the installer.  The documentation that we refer people to is the "Discover" section of our website...

    Hopefully this help!

    Cheers,

    Thanks Joe,

    Teamlook is working well & fits our company's requirement. We can live without customization for the moment. Good luck with outlook - I'll be looking for this in the next release.

    What if you accidentally drag one of the columns off of the header?  How can you get it back?

    Re: Customization of query columns in Teamlook

    First, I'd like to point out that in our next release (v1.5), since we have a Column Chooser feature which allows you to add/remove any number of Work Item Type columns/fields from a query results view, this situation will never happen.

    In the meantime, there are a couple of ways to fix this sitution in v1.  The simple way is to unassociate the project which contains this query in the TeamLook Options dialog and then reassociate the project.  This will refresh the views and bring back the columns you lost.

    The harder way (yes, that's actually 11 steps using the Outlook Customize Views dialog!):

    1. Right click the header and choose 'Customize View: Messages'
    2. Click 'Show Fields'
    3. From the dropdown 'Select Available fields from:', choose 'Forms...'
    4. On the new dialog 'Select Enterprise forms for this folder', select TeamLook from the Personal Forms section.
    5. Click 'Add ->'.
    6. Close this dialog.
    7. Back in the 'Show Fields' dialog you can now see your available fields (TLXXXXXXXX).
    8. Add the field you need.
    9. Close this dialog.
    10. Now choose the 'Format Columns' option from the 'Customize View: Messages' box.
    11. A new window will appear that will let you retitle the column since it will by default want ot call the column TLXXXXX.

    Cheers,
    Juan
