    The Configure Summary Preferences window is displayed.

  2. Click Create to configure a summary preference for work items.

    The Configure Summary Preferences window displays Available Levels and Selected Levels columns.
  3. Type the preference name in the Preference Name field. For example: Pref-1.
  4. Use the ""," ", "<", and "<<" navigation arrows to move the levels from the Available Levels list to the Selected Levels list. A set of selected levels is called a preference.

    Besides creating preferences, you can perform the following functions on the Configure Summary Preferences window:

    • Click Modify to modify the existing preferences.

      • When full permission is provided for work items
      • When permissions are provided for view, reassign, and close work items
  6. Click Save

    The created preference name is displayed and the Available Levels column is disabled.

  7. Click Close to complete the procedure.

    The configured summary preference is displayed in the Summary section.
