Save Column Option settings in TFS? - tfs

Is there any way to save your Column Option settings so that you can re-use them or apply them to other queries in TFS?
I've searched and it doesn't appear there is a way to do this, but maybe I am missing something.

Yes.. Follow below steps
Create a Query under queries pane. Make sure it works & Results are displayed
Now customise the view by clicking on the 'Column Options' & remove or add any column by DOUBLE CLICKING on it option followed by OK to save for current view
From the Result screen, notice 'SAVE QUERY' option. This should save your current view as it is to the Query
Voila.. Your view is saved as it is in the Query

Is there any custom option to lock work item for specific iteration?

I'm trying to lock/deny the option to open a new work item with specific iterations.
I tried to do it with a custom field with same value of iteration id and
<PROHIBITEDVALUES> rule.
Then I understood that its not possible because iteration-id field load only after I press the "save" button and its too late.
There any other ideas how to do it?
There is not any build-in option to hide older/specific iterations in the Work Item field.
However, you can set the security for "Edit work items in this node" to deny and they will not be able to save work items with the area or iteration selected.
Besides you could also hide the iteration node(s):
Open Project settings>Project configuration
Select the Iteration Tab
Select the iteration that you want to hide
Click on Security > Add a "Deny View" permissions for the users that
you want to hide the nodes from.
The user will not able to see the iteration in the sprint.

Chart of Item Types in VSTS

I'm trying to convert a small team to the benefits of using TFS with Visual Studio Online. I've created a custom process and custom work item type. I've also adde a few 'custom' states for items (eg: 'In Test').
Is it possible to create a query/chart similar to below, with a count of each item type - as below?
Create a new query to retrieve necessary work items
Go to your team project Home page (e.g. Home=>Overview)
Click Edit Dashboard=>Add Widget
Select Char for Work Items=>Add
Click Configure to configure this widget
Select corresponding Query
Select Chart type (e.g. Column)
Select State in Group by list
Click Save
Yes, VSTS supports dashboards that you can easily add widgets to. You can add dashboards on the Home tab by clicking + New in the upper right, and edit with the checkmark in the lower right. Have a look at the Chart for Work Items widget. Given a query of work items, it supports various chart visualization that you can configure and show.

Adding a column to an Acumatica grid

What is the best way to add a column to a grid in Acumatica? I've looked at the documentation, and I can't seem to find a way to do it.
Thanks
It depends on the type of grid you are using. As an example, lets say you are going to add a CreatedDate column to the details grid of Journal Transactions screen.
You will need to switch to design mode and open up the Aspx Control Tree and select the PXGrid node, click Add, and select Add Column to Grid to open the Add Grid Column dialog.
Find the field you want to add (in this case CreatedDateTime). you can also create new cusomt field here by pressing Add. Pick the correct Column Editor type (like DateTimeEdit) and press OK
move the Column up and down using the left tree to put in position you want.
Validate and publish the project!
If you want to modify existing grid which was created by Acumatica you'll need following steps:
1. Add field in DB ( optional )
2. Add filed description in DAC extension
3. Add column to page in customization engine, or manually imitate behavior of customization engine

Google Fusion Tables API - How to copy and rename a table?

I have an existing fusion table with a certain format and I have a number of charts added to it.
Idea is to make a copy, rename it and import additional rows into it.
When I do the copy, there doesn't seem a way to specify what the name of new table should be.
So I am assuming there must be a way to rename the table (since it is called Copy of ... by default).
What is the right way to rename?
Thanks,
Vivek
Go to File->About this table. A window will appear, on the bottom of this window you'll find a link "Edit Table information", that's where you may set different properties of the table, e.g. the name.
Click on the title and change it in the dialog that pops up.

How to add edit items to the predefined lists in TFS Work Items

I am trying to follow this article to do the same for adding a new State to a particular project's Bug work item. By default I can only see . I wanted to add a new state, "On Hold"
But I perhaps followed it wrong and ended up getting
The error says "Open Transition Active~On Hold to add at least one Reason." How do I open that transition and where do I add one reason. What is the reason it is talking about? I only want to add a new state.
Thanks for your time...
Double click the Active~On Hold Transition , select the Reasons tab and type in at least one reason.
After saving the .wit file, you must click Refresh from the Team Explorer menu in order to see changes.
In the work item editor, double click on the Transition between your Active and On hold states. Under 'Transition Detail' you should see 'From: Active' and 'To: On Hold'. Change 'From: Active' to blank so it should show 'From: '. Now save the editors, click 'refresh' from the Team Explorer menu and any new bugs you create will have 'On Hold' as an option for the state.
