I use TFS 2012 with the Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 2.2 process template. I would like to see the iteration start and end date a Product Backlog item (PBI) is associated to on the PBI form itself?
If it's possible what fields do I need to refer to in the Work Item type definition?
If it's not possible, why not?
You could put the dates right in the Iteration names. So instead of "Iteration 1" you could call it "I1 - Oct 1-20"

I'm looking to add the columns "Start Iteration" and "End Iteration" in Columns Options in Azure DevOps backlog but these two fields are not available. Does anyone have an work around for these issue?
I only see Start Date and Target Date, but I wanted to have something like, this feature started on Sprint 3 and will remain open until Sprint 7.
I was hoping you could help me. I have a calendar in SharePoint 2010 that I want to run a Nintex Workflow when the following conditions are true:
A new item is created
The "Type of Leave" field equals "Vacation". This field I created as just a category for the types of requests.
The date that the item was created for already has an entry with the "Type of Leave" field equaling "Vacation."
The use of this will be that the first person to enter vacation on a day will be automatically granted. But if more than one person enters vacation on the day that another vacation day is on, it will go through an approval process through their manager.
Here's what I've tried/reviewed:
- Using a Condition within a workflow. I can't find an option that would complete this.
- I did try looking on line searching for different solutions. I've watched some tutorials but nothing with this kind of solution was present.
- One thought I did have was to have an additional calculated column that counted how many entries for the same day with "Vacation" and then use that in a condition if the column was greater than 1 but I couldn't figure out the syntax.
This is on SharePoint 2010.
Thank you!
have you considered using the rest interface to query the list from nintex:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff521587(v=office.14).aspx
You can call this service from nintext using the call web service action.
Apply the filters on the url as per documentation above and count the records returned you can then include that in the nintext condition.
I am not sure if Nintext supports calls to Restfull services (from memory i think it does).
If not, you can use the Soap web service, same principle as above just the parameters to call it are slightly more complicated:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/lists.lists.getlistitems(v=office.12).aspx
I don't think there's an need for REST. Once your workflow starts, query the list for items matching the current item booking date and put the result in a collection. You can query the collection length, and if it's >0 you can use that condition to steer the logic of your workflow.
Is there a way to have SharePoint automatically save a copy of its list (spreadsheet) to a file at the end of the day?
My understanding is that versions are just for backup and are triggered by a single item changing.
Right now we have an excel spreadsheet that we work on each day adding new items and working on them and updating them - then the next day we copy the previous days document and rename it to todays date. Apparently this is for auditing purposes to view activity between different days.
I would like to move to SharePoint since we have a SharePoint 3.0 site on our intranet already setup and I have created a custom list that does everything else but do not see how to have these automatically exported without someone manually saving them.
On a side note, at some point we are moving to SharePoint 2010 so I dont know if that will give us what we need.
EDIT: I think I should be more specific that I want to save the entire contents of the list, not just version a single item. SharePoint seems to only version item by item and not the entire list. Not sure if there is some automated export of list data option available.
Well, SharePoint you can enable document versioning in SharePoint - you can check all versions and see who an when has modified them.
In case you really need to copy some files, maybe some workflow could help
I'm new to MOSS 2007. I need to create a workflow that looks at a document's review date (a select list predefined to values of 3 , 6 or 12 months) then send an email if the review date has passed.
So the workflow needs to get the documents review date then convert this to date time add to the created date if greater than current date send an email.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible to do using SP designer to create the workflow? I'dd be grateful for any pointers.
Many Thanks,
Nav
SharePoint Designer makes it very simple to create these kind of workflows. Have a look at this article.
Date manipulation can be a bit of a pain so if you need a little bit more flexibility and have the skills to write a little bit of C# or VB code (Visual Studio not required) then have a look at the Workflow Power Pack. There are plenty of examples on the associated blog.
Disclaimer, I worked on the WPP so consider me biased (It works great though :-)
You can do this with secondary workflows, that starts, update dates and finish.
Maybe I'm just crazy... So, with SPD I can add any time unit to a date and put that into a variable, but I can't seem to find anything that will let me calculate the difference between two dates. "Do Calculation" only lets me pick from numeric values. Am I missing something here? Seems like something which should be obvious.
Date comparison is not available "out of the box", but there are some workarounds.
Maybe this article: How to perform date calculations and construct dynamic strings in a SharePoint Designer workflow provides the answer?
Some more related information here: Modifying Date Formats in SharePoint Designer Workflows
You can use the function DATEDIF of SharePoint lists to set a column value and then use it in workflows. I am sure, this will help someone out there -
As of SharePoint 2013 you can use "Find Interval Between Dates" action.
Find Interval Between Dates
Calculates the time interval in minutes, hours, or days between two dates and stores the output in a variable.

String and date manipulation as well as calculations are a pain in SharePoint Designer workflows. The links Colin mentioned are good, but you may also want to consider embedding C# or vb.net code directly into your SharePoint Designer Workflow (Without the need for Visual Studio).
I wrote a component that allows you to do this and blogged about it at the following URL:
