Managing Work Items

Tasks

You start My Work Items on the SAP Solution Manager launchpad. In the My Work Items list, you see the work items that are assigned to you as a developer. You can use filters to search for specific work items.

The tab pages of My Work Items provide the functions for maintaining work item data and transport requests:

• Details

  Read or specify the work item details.

  The Details tab page displays basic information about the work item. To complete or change this information, choose Edit. You can, for example, set the priority, story, or value points. You can also document the completion rate.

• Dates

  Check milestone dates for the work item, such as deadlines for the design or the implementation.

  The dates are initially and automatically filled with the dates maintained in the Project Management - Focused Build Projects app.

• Texts

  The Text tab page displays system notifications, such as status changes, that the system creates automatically when the work item is processed.

  You can also add comments or texts, such as descriptions or test instructions for the work item. To do so, select a template for the relevant text type and add your text.

• Attachments

  You can attach files, such as image files or document files, from a local storage by using drag and drop or the upload function. The files on the Attachments tab page are stored only locally in the work item, not in the Solution Documentation.

• Documentation

  Create, store, or link to documents for the work item in the Solution Documentation

  You can use the Documentation tab page to store new documents in Solution Documentation or link to existing documents in Solution Documentation. For more information, see Documenting Work Packages and Work Items.

• Transport

  Manage transport requests

  The Transport tab page displays information about the transport landscape, that is the relevant systems and their transport relationship, and your transport requests.

  You can log on to the systems or you can create transport requests directly in My Work Items. For more information, see Creating Transport Requests for Work Items.

  In the Requests table, the Transport Requests and Transport of Copies columns enable you to access more detailed information by choosing an element in one of these columns.

• Tasks

  You can use the Tasks tab page to specify and log tasks that need to be done for the work item.

• Efforts

  You can use the Efforts tab page to document the time that you have spent on development or testing activities for the work item.

• Checklist

  If checklists have been defined, you can select a checklist on the Checklist tab.

Changing the Work Item Status

To change the work item status, choose Action in the tool bar. In the menu, choose the next work item action or status.

You can change the status of several work items at once in the Mass Change Operations application. For more information, see Mass Change Operations
