7.2.1. Lists

Issues lists can be found in the views for releases, projects, and iterations. Issues have lists of sub-tasks. There is also the main issue list found in the Issues tab, which is the primary view and means of navigating tasks in the system. From the main issue list, a number of views are available.

• Issue Tree - The default issue list is a flat list of issues. Sub-tasks are included in the list and can be viewed by expanding the issues which contain the sub-tasks. The list automatically excludes issues which were completed more than a couple weeks earlier.
• Current Iteration - The current iteration list shows all issues assigned to the current iteration — the current iteration being the iteration whose time range overlaps the current date. Beyond that, it is essentially the same as the default issue tree.
• Defect List - The defect list view is slightly different than the other views. It is not a tree view and does not show sub-tasks, no projects. It list only defects, and only defects that have not been completed in the last couple weeks.
• Project List - The project list is another unique view. It lists all "Project" records, and it excludes "Component" and "Product" records. It does not construct a tree the follows the tree structure defined in the Projects tab. Rather it flattens the list of projects and shows the issues in each project. This view is intended to summarize projects in a simple view.
• Iteration Tree - The iteration tree lists all iterations and allows each iteration to be expanded to see the issues that are/were assigned to the iteration.
• Component Tree - The component tree builds a tree of "Project"/"Component"/"Product" records and lists the issues assigned to each as the tree is expanded.
• User Tree - The user tree lists all of the users and allows each user to be expanded to show the issues that are assigned to the user.
• Release Tree - The release tree build a tree of each release, as well as each iteration contained in the release. Expanding the release and individual iteration reveals the issues assigned to the iteration.

Issues trees can be viewed based on projects, iterations, releases, and user assignments. Also, special defect, iteration, and flat project views are available. To change the issue list tree, select the list from the left-most combo box at the bottom of the Issues tab.
