Importing a template

You can import a work item template into your project area so that you can use the template to create work items.

Before you begin

An XML file that specifies the template in a valid format is required. See https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/WorkItemTemplates for details about the file format.

Be careful when you import a template that was created in another project area because attachments, users, and other values that are not contained in the template will be invalid. The Import wizard warns you in such cases and might not succeed. For more information about importing work item templates, see http://jazz.net/library/article/555.
