Azure DevOps Add-on

Using an Azure card

You need to be connected to the Azure DevOps instances related to the content you want to manipulate.

Adding a Work item to the board

1. Click Azure card in your dock.

2. Drag and drop a card on the board.

3. Search for a Work item:

   

   • click directly on the search button to display all the project’s Azure cards; or

   • enter a Work item number and click the search button.

     Note

     The corresponding Work item appears in bold and all Azure cards above this number are displayed.

4. Select a Work item.

   Note

   You can modify the Work item at any time from the Change type menu.

   Tip

   To create a linked Work item:

   Click Add links and select a Link type and a Work item.

5. Click Save.

   Note

   Once added to the board, if Area path and/or Iteration path are configured fields in your card, use the search bar to modify the field.

   To retrieve values for Area path and Iteration path, use the search bar.

   You can make a simple search based on one term: iObeya will retrieve all values that contain your term in the tree; or search using slashes:

   • [value1]/[value2]: to retrieve the children of [value2] in the first value.
   • [value1]/[value2]/: to retrieve the children and grandchildren of [value2] in the first value.
   • /[value]: to retrieve the children of [value] in every root.
   • /[value]/: to retrieve the children and grandchildren of [value] in every root.
