Version 2.2 of the Scrum for Team System process template contains a new reporting feature; the Report Slide Show tool.
The slide show is installed by default along with the other components of the process template and allows you to display a selection of reports (using the report default parameter values) for a selection of team projects.
To change the default slide show configuration, please follow these steps:
- Open the configuration file “ReportsSlideShowList.xml” in your text editor of choice.
The configuration file can be found in the ScrumforTeamSystem virtual folder. The default installation location of this file (on the TFS application tier) is:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ScrumforTeamSystem. The default configuration looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ScrumReportsList xmlns="http://www.scrumforteamsystem.com/ScrumReportsList">
<Report DisplaySeconds="10">Sprint Task Board</Report>
<Report DisplaySeconds="10">Sprint Burndown Chart</Report>
<Report DisplaySeconds="10">Sprint Cumulative Flow</Report>
<Report DisplaySeconds="10">Bug Count</Report>
<Report DisplaySeconds="10">Product Burndown Chart By Day</Report>
</ScrumReportsList>
As you can see, the default configuration contains a list of 5 reports. Each report will be displayed for 10 seconds. The display sequence is determined by the xml Node order. So, firstly the “Sprint Task Board” report will be show for 10 seconds, followed by the “Sprint Burndown Chart” for 10 seconds and so on. The list is looped once all reports have been shown.
- Adjust the reports list as required.
- Save the file.
To run the reporting slide show use the follow steps:
- Start a web browser session (i.e. Internet Explore)
- Type in the following address: http://<ServerName>/ScrumforTeamSystem/ ReportSlideShow.aspx?projects=<team project name>[,<additional team project name>]
- Hit Enter and then put into full screen mode to get best results
Note: You can specify more than one Team Project by using a comma separated list in the report quesry string parameter.
