Search for and filter work items

Creating work items is important, but you need to be able to find and manage the work the work items represent. In this step, we'll find out how to use different search techniques to find work items, share search results, and report on work items.

Create some more work items 

Before you start, you're going to need a few more work items. Create a few more work items in your project using the sample data below.

• Work Type = Task and Summary = Brainstorm new designs

• Work Type = Task and Summary = Approve new t-shirt design

• Work Type = Task, Summary = Send mockup to printers and Assignee = kate

Search for work items 

For more complex searches across multiple projects, use the search function. In this example, we'll search for all work items assigned to you. 

1. Select Filters from the sidebar, and select a filter or choose Search work items.

2. Set Assignee to "Current User" at the top of the search page.

The search results will show the work items that are assigned to you.
