Add items to the team home page

Each team member can add to the mini-dashboard on their home page by adding and re-sequencing tiles. Each tile provides quick access to a work item query, build definition, or source code folder. A team home page is created when you add a team.

For example, you can see the status of work from the work item queries, such as Product Backlog, Unfinished Work, Feedback Requests, and Sprint Backlog; changes made to the source control folder named Phone Saver; and the status of the build named PhoneSaver.Gated.

To add a tile to the home page

1. To add a work item query to the home page, open the work items page.

2. Drag a selected shared query to team favorites. Or, use the context menu.

   

   To add a source control folder or a build definition, open the corresponding page and drag the selected object to team favorites.

3. On the home page, drag tiles to reorder their sequence on the home page.

   Using Internet Explorer 10 you can also tab to a tile and press Shift+L or Shift+R to move the selected tile to the left or to the right.

4. Choose a tile to open it.
