You can use a set of predefined queries to retrieve work items that meet a common set of conditions.

About this task

If you want to run queries to generate results that show relationships between artifacts in different applications, see Using lifecycle queries.

  2. Double-click a query to run it.
    The results are displayed in the Work Items view.
  3. To see the details of a work item, double-click it in the Work Items view.
    The work item opens in the work items editor.
