Move Structures Between Work Items

Move structures between work items. You can move a work item's structure elements including assignments from a source work item to a target work item directly in the source work item. You do not have to access the standard Solution Documentation procedures anymore.

Moving structures is available only between work items. You can access a work item directly from the My Work Items application.

Prerequisites

  • You have started the My Work Items application.

  • You have selected a work item.

  • The work item contains an assigned structure (for example, a process step).

Procedure
