HTML Linking to a Work Item in TFS 2012

Question

I'm creating a custom report with the TFS 2012 Warehouse displaying some information about work items. I'd like to put a link on the work item elements in the report which takes the user to the work item in the team portal. Is it possible to directly link to a work item in the fancy new team portal. (not the sharepoint team web access).

Answer 1

Yes - just create a link in the following format:

http://tfsServer:8080/DefaultCollection/TeamProject/_workitems/edit/123

Answer 2

In my case, I found the syntax was different. The following worked for me:

http://<TfsServer>:8080/tfs/<Collection>/<ProjectName>/_workitems#_a=edit&id=<TfsID>

Just modify <TfsServer>, <Collection>, <ProjectName> and the <TfsID> as you need it.

For example:

http://myServer:8080/tfs/myCollection/myProject/_workitems#_a=edit&id=123
