Work Item Columns

Work item columns show you information about the work items in your list.

By default, the following columns are displayed:
  • Name
  • Description
  • State
  • Id
  • Version
  • Priority
  • Start Date

To display the data in all the columns for a work item, navigate to Work Item Summary (The summary icon is a black table) in the Action toolbar. See Displaying Work Item Summary. Press Enter to display the Work Item Summary. The following table describes all the work item columns you can view.
