Work Item Feeds

To use a work item feed for your Kanban board:

Open the Kanban New Feed wizard:
- From the Kanban Boards page, click Create Kanban Board.
  Or
- Click the user icon in the upper right corner, select Settings, and then select the Feeds page. Click New Feed, and then select Work Item Feed.
On the Select Applications tab, select the application from which feed data should be returned. (If you are creating the feed from a single application context, only that application is available.)
On the Select Projects tab, select an option to filter the projects from which work items are returned, based on the feed's application context:
- No filter
  Select to return work items from any project within the feed's application context.
- Selected projects
  Select this option to return work items from selected projects. Search for projects by name, if necessary.
  
  You can optionally select the Include sub-projects check box. This does not add sub-projects to the Selected projects list, but work items from sub-projects will be included in the results at runtime.
  
  In the list of available projects, hover over a project, and then click the Plus sign to add a single project. To add a project and all of its sub-projects to the Selected projects list, hover over the parent project, and then click the check mark ().
- My Projects for user viewing the feed
  Select to return work items from the user's preferred projects list.
On the Select Owners tab, select an option to filter work items by owner:
- No filter
  Select to return items owned by any user.
- User viewing the feed
  Select to return items owned by the user viewing the feed.
- Selected groups and users
  Choose to return items owned by a specific set of groups () or users ().
Select the Include secondary owners check box to return items that the selected users own with other users (in addition to items they primarily own). Clear this check box to return only items the selected users are primarily responsible for.
On the Set Criteria tab, click Add to add one or more search filters based on work item fields. Use these guidelines:
- For each filter, you must specify a field, an operator, and value criteria. The operators and value options that are available to you depend on the selected field type.
- For feeds based on all applications, field choices are limited to system fields, such as Submitter and Active/Inactive.
- Multiple criteria use "and" operators. For example, a feed that has these filters:
  Submitter in Chad Release Engineer
  
  Submit Date > Starrtof_thisyear
  
  Returns work items that Chad Release Manager submitted AND the submit date is greater than the start of the current year.
On the Preview Feed tab, review the items that are returned by the feed in a listing report format.
On the Save Feed tab, provide the following information for your feed:
- Name
  Provide a name for your feed.
- Visibility
  Set the feed as private or public. Private feeds are visible only to the author; public feeds can be viewed by others users, but only the author and administrators can modify public feeds.
  
  Note: If you plan to share a view with other users, the feeds in that view must be set to public.
- Description
  Text provided here is shown to users when they select feeds for their views.

The feed can now be added to a Kanban board. If you created the feed while you were editing a Kanban board, the feed is automatically added to the board when you save your changes.
