I have got TFS 2017 on prem and have created an additional team with it's own area. I have then added a new user story for both of these areas/teams.
I am a member of both of the areas, but can't see a way to switch between the two teams.
When looking at the backlog I can only see one of the user stories. How can I then switch to the other team and see other stories associated with that area?
In addition, I can't see a way of seeing what teams I belong to in a project without going into the settings.
Thanks
This is due to several features depend on the team project or team that you have selected. For example, dashboards, backlogs, and board views will change depending on the context selected. How to select team based on your detail TFS version, such as:
Open the team project/team drop-down menu and select the team
project/team that you've recently visited. If you don't see the team
or team project you want, choose Browse all to browse all team
projects and teams.
If you are using TFS2017 update1, to switch your team focus to a team project or team you've recently viewed, hover over the Team Services icon and choose from the drop-down menu of options.
For more detail info please refer the tutorial in MSDN--Switch team project or team focus
I was thinking along the lines of a new user coming along to view the project teams and so the teams wouldn't be in the Recent list. I found the list is at the Team Project list, it just needs to be expanded:

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 know that this is possible for TFS projects, but I seem unable to take care of this. I've renamed TFS-hosted GIT projects with no issues, but I'm not able to see the drop-down menus or text-editing boxes on my TFS2015 Admin Site.
I've tried in multiple browsers, multiple systems. I am a Project COllection Manager, and have verified that I have full rights on all projects to be renamed.
Please provide some input as to how I can further diagnose.
Best,
Larry
You can go to team project admin page, and move your mouse to the Name of team project, the text-editing box will show up, then you can remove the team project:
Another way is go to team project collection admin page, right click the team project you want to rename, then select Rename:
I want to use TFS 2012 code review template. I am using vS2012 online TFS workspace, where i created 5 of users.
From VS2012 I am trying to Add Reviewer to review my code, it display error like "Reviewer name is not in the list of allowed reviewers."
You need to go to your Team Project and add some users to your Team. If you first select your Team Project \ Team you will notice that you have a "Members (0)" on the right. If you click "Manage all members" under that heading you can add any number of Windows or Microsoft Id users to that list.
Now that you have the users added to the Team, if you also select that Team in Visual Studio you will be able to select any of those users for review. This list is in fact of all users that have 'contributor' permissions to the Team Project which is granted by using the above process.
If you are having trouble setting up and configuring teams I have created a post on Modelling Teams in Team Foundation Server 2013.
After several weeks with that problem, I found out that I had to do a hard clear cache on my Visual Studio. After that, it showed me a correct list of reviewers.
I found out that by this forum post: https://developercommunityapi.westus.cloudapp.azure.com/content/problem/1145784/reviewer-name-is-not-in-the-list-of-allowed-review-1.html
And here is how you can clear the cache of VS (I had to do all steps):

I have created a team underneath the Team Members section (in Team Explorer), but I cannot select this team from the drop down in my Bug. This drop down (highlighted text in image below) has no teams listed in it.
What am I doing wrong?
We are using the http://www.scrumforteamsystem.co.uk/ template for TFS 2008.
The bug that you have in the image is a customized bug. Someone in the organization (maybe you) have changed to bug and added the Team field to the bug. The team that is available in the team explorer cannot be used in the work item, but you can use link that John added to show groups in the dropdown.
Another approach is to use a global list to determine the values for the team field. Adding a new team means that you have to add it to Team Explorer and to the global list.
In the new version of TFS (TFS 11), which you can preview at http://tfspreview.com, you can see that the team has become a first class citizin. If you want to see it in action, you can either go to one of the sessions of //BUILD/ or sign up for an account on TfsPreview.com.
Go to TFS explorer, go to your project and right click on the project title and Select "Show Project Portal"
Once its loaded up in your browser, click on "Team Project Administration" Tab.
The team option is the second box on this page. Add your teams to there, and they will then appear in the dropdown within TFS Solution Explorer.
You will need to save any bugs first before you can assign it to a team though.
See the blog post Assigning a work item to a group in TFS.
This does require some minor customization of the work item types you're interested in changing.
I downloaded and installed the new Team Foundation Server Scrum v1.0 beta work template from Microsoft. I would like to edit the drop-down that displays in the Iteration field used when entering a new Sprint work item. If I enter in a release / sprint number that does not exist I get the following message:
"New Sprint 1: TFS20017: The area or iteration provided for field 'Iteration Path' could not be found"
Does anyone know where I need to go to edit this listing?
Thanks!
Connect to TFS.
In the Team Explorer, select the team project you want to define the iterations for.
Click on the Team menu item in the Visual Studio menu bar.
Choose the Team Project Settings sub-menu
Choose Areas and Iterations...
Add sub-nodes as necessary for areas or iterations.
Areas and Iterations are defined on a per-project basis, so if you are in one team project when you define them, you won't be able to access them from another team project.
In TFS Version 16 do as follow:
Click on your collection top the left menu
In the project, list click on your project
Click on setting gear on the top right toolbox
Click on the work tab
In this page, you will see the iteration list, add a new child to your Location
after add new child click on the default team's settings.
click on iterations, select newly added iterations to appear on board list.
That's All, happy coding.
