I am trying to customize the Kanban board in TFS 2018 for new work item types I've added.
Following the documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vsts/work/kanban/add-columns , my configuration dialog seems to be missing the Board configuration.
Here's from the documentation
Here's my panel (I've added my user as the team administrator).
Any help in regards to customize my workflow and board is highly appreciated.
At the moment, the Kanban board settings are not available for the Sprint board. The settings page you're showing applies to backlogs such as Epics, Features and Backlog Items. Not to the Sprint backlog.

I'm working with TFS 2015.
The thing is that my team has got a Feature. Inside this feature we have several backlogs. My teammate is working on backlog X. His backlog shows on the task board.
How to do this ? I can only add tasks from feature view.
Features page
Task board page
Should I add a new backlog in the task board view and then link this feature as parent? But how exactly should it look? I need instructions step by step.
Thanks in advance. :)
In case someone will have similar question in the future:
You have to change iteration path in the backlog to have it shown on the task board.
We have just started using Team Foundation Server (version 15). I thought I could use Epics to organize features and other work elements but when I create an Epic I don't see where it is and can't see how to associate a Feature to it. Am I misunderstanding the use of Epics? I have been given a single project called Workflow under which I need to manage multiple clients. Epics seems a good container for a client level object.
Thank you!
From your team's backlog page, click the gear icon (gear icon) to open the common configuration team settings.
Click the Backlogs tab and check the boxes of those backlog levels you want your team to manage.

I have an "Advanced" license in our TFS 2015. However, the "Capacity" tab is missing when I view the backlog. What else am I missing?
Are you looking at the Product Backlog or the Sprint Backlog? Do you have start and end dates defined for your selected sprint? Only when you are on the sprint backlog with defined dates does the capacity tab show up.
There is also an issue where you must set the Users Access Level to "Basic" or higher, at the Organization level for that user to be able to see the Capacity Tab at all in the Projects.
I'm trying to change the look of the Kanban Board in TFS 2013 by adding the WorkItem ID to tasks, bugs and PBI's.
To be more precise: I would like to add the WI# before the title of each item in the swimminglanes.
I'm trying to do this with witadmin but can't seem to find the correct files.
This feature is now available on TFS Online.
To show WorkItem Id's on BLI's & Bugs, you have update the settings on the board.
Click on the Settings wheel on the top right corner of the board.
Select "Cards" in the drop down.
In the "Customize Cards" page, select the "Show ID" checkbox as highlighted in the below image.
Click "Save" button. You board will refresh with new settings.
Note: The settings are separate for Bug & Product Backlog Item
The best answer I can provide at the moment is to point you towards Tiago Pascoal's Task Board Enhancer, which is a extension that can be installed on your TFS server to get some kanban board enhancements.
http://pascoal.net/task-board-enhancer/
As Andrew mentioned, there is no other way to enhance work items on the kanban board currently.
This isn't something that you can currently customize through the process template (witadmin). Sorry.
Take a look at this solution of using a "bookmarklet" to just show the ID on the boards without having to make any changes on the server http://pascoal.net/2012/08/adding-work-item-ids-to-team-foundation-server-board/
The one I use is from that site:
javascript:$('.tbTile').each(function(){var t=this.id.substring(5,999),n=$(this).find('.witTitle').first();n.attr('_wi')===undefined&&(n.attr('_wi',t),n.html('<strong>'+t+'<\/strong>-'+n.text()))}),$('.board-tile').each(function(){var t=this.id,n=$(this).find('.title').first();n.attr('_wi')===undefined&&(n.attr('_wi',t),n.html('<strong>'+t+'<\/strong>-'+n.text()))})
I would like to modify the Burndown chart in TFS 2012's Scrum 2.0 Template so that weekends no longer show. I've already looked at this article, but unfortunately the solution listed there doesn't apply to the Burndown Chart when running from Board View.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how I can modify it in Board View?
UPDATE: The burndown excludes the weekends on Visual Studio Online. Later this year, this feature ships with TFS 2013 Update 2 for on-prem customers.
See the announcement at http://www.visualstudio.com/news/2014-jan-22-vso.
If you want to configure the working days of your team, you can click on the gear button in the top right corner which will open the admin area in a new tab. Click on your team, and choose the “settings” tab.
The TFS team on uservoice explained recently that they started working on this feature request Burndown chart should exclude non-work days.
