Filtering StarTeam Agile Tasks From Other Tasks

If you are using StarTeam Agile with StarTeam, you can filter your tasks to separate the tasks created in StarTeam Agile from the tasks created in the StarTeam Cross-Platform Client. Use the Type field value to determine the difference between StarTeam Agile tasks and standard tasks. If the Type value is anything other than Unknown, then it is a StarTeam Agile task.

To separate tasks created in StarTeam Agile from tasks created in the StarTeam Cross-Platform Client, do the following:

  1. Choose Task > Filters > Filters. The Filters dialog box appears.

  2. Click New and give the new filter a name.

    Alternatively, copy an existing filter by selecting it, clicking Save As, and giving it a new name. Then select the copied filter and continue with the next steps.

  3. Click Fields in the Filters dialog box.

  4. Move the Type field from the Available Fields list to the Show Fields in this Order list and click OK.

  5. Click Query to open the Queries dialog box, and click New. This opens the Edit Query dialog box.

  6. Type a Name for the new query, and choose the following in the Condition Node section: Field = Usage, Operator = Not Equal, and Value = Other.

  7. Click Add to add the condition to the query, and Save to save the query and return to the Queries dialog box. Your new query is now highlighted in the list of queries.

  8. Click Select in the Queries dialog box use this query in your new filter. You are returned to the Filters dialog box, and your new filter should be highlighted.

  9. Click Save As to save the filter.

    Note that your new filter has been added to the Filter list at the top of the client.

To use the filter, simply select it from the Filter list on the Task tab. Conversely, you can create a filter that displays only the standard tasks. In the query, use the condition Usage Equals Other.
