I built a basic schedule for my team on our team site SharePoint 2007 and I am noticing a formatting issue. When we scroll the schedule to the right, you can no longer see the time column to the left. I was hoping there might be a simple way to resolve this issue and "freeze pane" the time column. I do not have access to add a content editor web part, but I do have access to SharePoint designer. So please keep that restriction in mind.

We are running visual studio team foundation server and today we are watching the number of active bugs on a dashboard. I would like to accompany this information with the number of new bugs added to the buglist each day.
I can't find any widget or anything in this area, is there anyone that have any idea how to track this?
You can easily create a cumulative flow chart that will show you the increase in tye number of bugs by day.
Create a query with the last 30 days of bugs by created date (#today-30). Then go to the Chart tab on the query and add a line chart. Tweek & pin it to your dasboard. Call it "30 day cumulative bug flow".
Another useful way to visualise this data would be to create a query for those bugs created in the last 24 hours, (#today-1) and pin it to your dashboard as a number. Call it "Incoming in last 24"
Unfortunately, there is no this kind of build-in feature.
You could use TFS Client API or REST API to query workitems and create the status report yourself.
Or you could set an optional reporting infrastructure. With this installed you can use the out of the box reports to do what you want:
Moreover, I also created an uservoice for you, TFS Admin will kindly review it, you could also vote up it to get more attention.
Having been using TFS 2012 for almost a year now, our team has started working on another round of customizations to our customized Agile Process Template. I received a request today that I can't figure out.
In TFS 2012 (this seems to be a new thing), the System.History field in each WIT used for History comments displays a "fuzzy" date next to each update, rather than the full date-stamp that I believe was used in TFS 2010. Is there a way to show the full date rather than "a few minutes ago," "4 weeks ago," etc.?
I've gotten word from a good authority on TFS customization that this is not possible. The workaround from KMoraz -- hovering over the fuzzy date for the time-stamp pop-up in Web Access -- is good enough for our team.
is there a way to hide the content of a field based on a role?
I thought about creating a serverside plugin which empties the field if the user does not have permission to view the field and repopulate it on save. But I don't know how to do this, I did not find any event which I could use. Any idea?
My first intent was to use the EMPTY rule but this really clears the content and does not repopulate it. Also the READONLY rule is not acceptable for us. Do you have any idea?
I know this was already requested http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/suggestions/2088177-add-ability-to-hide-mask-fields-in-a-work-item-bas but I need the functionality now.
I also thought about creating a workitem where the hidden fields are stored in and linking it to the other work item but this is not the solution I want ...
The only way to do this is by creating a custom work item control. That control can then only display the contents of the value if the user has the correct permissions. What it does not prevent though is to see/update the data via other tools like Excel, Work Item Query or Bulk Update.
As the suggestion on User Voice suggests, it is not possible today in TFS. So please vote and make sure the Team Foundation Server team knows it is high priority for a lot of our customers.

In VS 2013 when u use the Empty Rule, the field disappear! You can see that in Scrum Template when you change de WIT state to Done the Remaining Work field are hidden
We have a custom list within MOSS 2007 which sporadically closes the edit forms web part, despite the fact that the web parts property 'allow close' is unticked. The only way to make the form work again is to edit the page in SharePoint Designer and untick the option of 'web part closed', this then allows the form to function but at a seemingly random interval it will close itself again.
There is quite a large user base accessing the site/list at anyone time, also note this has happened once on another list on another site collection.
Has anyone else experienced this issue before or can offer any advice?
I know its a noob question, but
I have setup a pilot for TFS2010, I want to demo this for business/project managers in our company. From what I think, TFS server allows you to view reports like
- Active items
- bugs
- time remaining etc
in a chart or graph form. I have installed SQL server reporting service on TFS as well, how can I view reports, do I need share point for this? Do I need to install something extra to enable reports?
The idea is, business/project people will not have VS installed, so they will use web-access to create tasks, bugs etc. Kindly guide me in the right direction.
Thanks,
Ali
For the demo, you will need to create a TFS project. In the process of doing this you will have to select a so-called process template. For example, the default MSF Agile template contains some default reports that will be uploaded to the report server for you while the TFS project is created. No additional actions are needed.
You do not need SharePoint for the reports to be displayed, since the report server has its own website. However, the integrated SharePoint portal shows other project management capabilities, like the sprint backlog, which allows capacity planning for your teams. We use that one and shows-off very good :-)
So, I would say, create the TFS project, with the SharePoint and the Agile template, insert some realistic demo data for user stories, tasks, bugs and register some time on the tasks performed and remaining. If you do this over a couple of days, your report will show-off good, like a sprint is in action.
