How to add State Column to the Taskboard

Question & Answer


Question

How do you add another column to the Web UI Taskboard in IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC)?

Cause

The Taskboard has three default columns based on the OSLC groups:

  • Open
  • In Progress
  • Closed.

Administrators may want to add an additional column to mimic the work item workflow.

Answer

In order to add another column to the Taskboard in the Web UI, follow the steps below.

NOTE that this will not affect planning in the eclipse client.

  1. Open your project area in the eclipse client

  2. Navigate to Project Configuration > Configuration Data > Work items > Workflows



  3. Scroll down to State Groups



  4. Add a new state group and assign the OSLC group category

  5. Edit the State to correspond to the new State group

  6. Save the project area

This new State Group will now appear in the Taskboard of the web UI, as shown below, indicated by "New Column". If the changes to the taskboard are not displaying, shutdown and restart your browser.
