    Hi Kim,

    thank you for your message. To check that I understand correctly, you would like a new setting so that each user could choose which Activity Types should be available to them on the Add Time Dialog. Am I correct? If so, I would like to learn a bit more about your use-case. How come that different teams use different activity types in your organisation? In most instances, we find that Activity Types are kept generic e.g. Development, Testing etc, is that not the case for you? Could you maybe share some example of team-specific Activity Types that you use?

    Thank-you and have a good weekend ahead.

    Hi Andrea Moro

    Yes you are correct.

    This for different levels of management so that we can easily see administrative work vs dev work.

    Would you suggest a different approach for this?

    There is the element of different roles in the development cycle so for example QA Testing is QA specific and therefore it would not need to be seen by all developers.

    In the end this is just a nice to have.

     

    Thank you and wishing you a happy weekend as well :)

    Kind Regards
    Kim

    Hi Kim,

    I think the way you use Activity Types makes perfect sense! I was just curious to understand the level of granularity/detail you put in yours, as I thought that someone with many Activity Types would be more likely to need a feature like this one.

    We'll keep an eye on this thread then!

    Kind Regards,

    Hi Andrea

    As the Activity types screen has a lot user customizability I thought it would be a good option to place a visibility flag.

    Thank you for your quick feedback.

    To add on Kim's idea, we have the same use case in our company.

    It could also be as easy as in the user licence page, to add a checkbox "[ X ] All activity types are allowed" and then under that to list other activity that could be checked individually instead. So we could go different configuration per user if required.

    Not a showstopper, but really a nice-to-have. Thanks!

    If team bound (typical use-case), can this be defined at ADO Team level like iterations?  Each team manager chooses which Activity Types apply to his/her team - still only choosing from centrally defined list to keep list sensible.
