When you create a shortcut to an item from within the embedded client, the shortcut item displays in a list in the
Task List window in
Visual Studio. A list of change request, requirement, and task shortcuts (and active process items) is also provided for you when using
the
Add,
Check In Files,
Commit Files, and
StarTeam Pending Checkins dialog boxes. Using these dialog boxes, you can associate change request, requirement, and task shortcut types and active
process items to the files that you are checking in, adding, or committing. When selecting a shortcut or active process item
from the combo box provided in these dialog boxes, you can associate the appropriate file(s) with the shortcut by marking
them in the file list at the bottom of the dialog box.
-
Open the solution containing the item which you want to use as the active process item.
-
Choose
to view the
StarTeam Items window.
-
Click the
Change Request,
Requirement, or
Task tab, and select the item.
-
Click the
Create Item Shortcut toolbar button at the top of the
StarTeam Items window.
This creates an Active Process Item shortcut in the
Task List window.
This Active Process Item shortcut will appear for selection in the
Process Item list in either the
StarTeam Pending Checkins window or the
Check In Files dialog box.
