Setting the Display Label for Work Item Attributes

The work list facade editor is a table editor that allows you to optionally set the display label for any of the predefined set of 40 work item attributes.

Display labels are used throughout the organization.

Procedure

  1. When you create a Work List Facade project, the Work Item Attributes table opens. If it is not already open, select WorkListFacade.wlf from your Work List Facade project.
  2. Add values to the Display Label column.

    You can add as many or as few display values as you want. When you use the Work List Facade Editor as described in Work Item Attributes, to add values, the attributes with display values appear at the top of the list of attributes wherever they appear in the user interface.

    The attribute name and type column are read-only. Only the Display Label can be edited. The Display Labels have length restriction of 64 characters.

What to do next

When you have completed your display labels, deploy the Work List Facade project.

If you need to change your display labels at any time, edit them as described and redeploy the Work List Facade project.
