I'm using ADO dashboards.( https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/report/dashboards/overview?view=azure-devops ).
I want to have many different charts / query tile views, each serving a distinct purpose but they are all related to a project. Right now I have to create distinct dashboards for each. Is there a way to have tabs within one dashboard so i can still separate the views but not have to go to different dashboards all the time.
Sorry this is not available, we do not have tabs in the dashboard at the moment.
You may have to go to different dashboards and manually select/switch the view.
You could create a related user voice and vote up in our feature request page from Developer Community site. Our PM will kindly review your suggestion.

I am a new user of confluence, I participate in an workflow in witch customer support receives bugs, I report them to a central team of developers. Now, the thing is I am trying to create a way for the customer support team to have more visibility on the issues that I report, as in to quickly find out the status of a certain issues. What I have in mind is a confluence page consisting of a table of the issues extracted from Jira but I am having trouble reaching the exact end product that I have in mind. For example is there a way for me to make a column to this table so I can add comments for some issues? or can I categorize the issues by which pack of developers are they assigned to. Mainly I want to know if there is an alternative way of going about my situation and I don't see it because of my lack of experience.
Thanks!
Rather than adding comments in Confluence I would suggest you instead add them to the Jira tickets and then display them on Confluence.
The Jira Issues macro allows you to chose the fields you display. You could, for example, add a 'Confluence comment' custom field to your Jira tickets and make sure this is shown in Confluence.
As for categorizing issues, this is best done by using filters. The approach would be as follows:
Decide what categories you want
Create a filter for each category
Use the Jira Issues macro multiple times, once for each of the filters
Is there a way to set up a personal dashboard for TFS that is in addition to the team dashboard?
We have a group of users who want to see different information than what is on the team dashboard, and would like their own dashboard/view to show things like Tasks Assigned to them, Open Backlog Items, etc. But this would only be for the individual (others want to see different queries and other widgets depending on their tasks in a team).
There are no personal dashboards at present. However, there are work item query tokens like #Me so you can have one query that is personalized for whoever is viewing the dashboard.
Yes, you can view all work items assigned to you in web based TFS
http://{TFS Server}/{ProjectsCollectionName}/_work
You will see your dashboard as attched screenshot
I would like to know if is it possible to watch multiple burndown charts in one page.
We're using TFS and we have several projects in course. My boss wants to see in one page the burn downs of these projects, having a kind of dashboard. Do you know if tfs has something to do it?
Otherwise I will have to create a webpage and link them
There's nothing out of the box that lets you look at burndowns for a portfolio of team projects. You'll have to create the web page.
What is the best way to store a task for multiple users in TFS 2010 ? I can only assign one for one task.
(for example: when I plan a demo to all developers)
(this is a scrum Msf Agile project, where the task is part of a user story)
I'm sorry to tell you that you can't assign multiple users to a single work item out of the box; At the same time, I do not recommended trying as this, as it does not fit the model in TFS. The conventional / recommended way to handle this type of scenario is to create multiple tasks; one for each developer in this case. You can easily accomplish this by copying a set of tasks using MS Excel. Another option (given the example you used) is to create a "Meeting" work item that has multiple drop-downs - one for each person that would attend meetings like for a demo or a technical review.
Yet another option is to create a custom control to format and store a list of users. This would likely be relatively complex to maintain, as you have to distribute it to each user's machine (it will need to be installed locally), and last I checked you would need 2 versions; one for the Team Explorer user interface and another for the Web Access tool that most people use to create work items from a web page on their TFS server. Future updates to TFS could possibly break your custom control. It is rarely worth the effort. Another downside is the you would likely be limited by how you can use MS Excel to work with the data you store in the field that the custom control works with. If you want to look into this further you can find some examples in the following CodePlex project: http://witcustomcontrols.codeplex.com/
You might consider your true goals in tracking such things as meetings and other items you want to assign multiple people to. Tasks are the heart of tracking progress of user stories in the MSF Agile Template. Tracking meeting attendance does not typically relate directly to a User Story, for example; so it won't typically assist you to determine how much close you are to being "done" with a User Story. If you want to take advantage of the existing reports, then you should organize your tasks so that they roll up as child work items to User Story (or Bug) work items.
Short story: you can't. Work items in the Process Template of Microsoft are designed to target nobody or only one User.
Now you can customize the Process Template to change this.
Take this post for instance, the customization works for group. But I don't recommend you to do so because TFS is basically not designed for that and you may end up disappointed.
Is it possible for users to create their own list of team projects across collections?
An example of the proposed TFS structure:
Collection1\TeamProject1
Collection1\TeamProject2
Collection2\TeamProject3
Collection2\TeamProject4
If user1 wanted to view only TeamProject1 and TeamProject4, they would be able to create their own index of teamprojects that include just those two.
I know this is possible within a collection, as they just select the project(s) within the collection they wish to open. Is there a way to do this across collections?
I don't think that's possible. A single connection to one Team Collection is possible at a time, and then any number of Team Projects within this Collection can be selected to be viewed.I simply open two Visual Studio instances and open in each a connection to another Collection.
Hopefully this will be implemented in TFS11, according to this article the process will be streamlined a bit, so I'd hope people will be able to work across multiple collections easier.
