Adding a Value Class

[Chuck]

Is there a way to add a Value Class?

I saw this thread
http://www.telerik.com/agile-project-management-tools/community/forums/teampulse/general-discussions/customizing-value-classification.aspx

and it said in the future.... so... how about now?

I could insert it in the database as well if that would do it although it there does not seem to be a table just for that dropdown?

Thanks

Chuck

Hello Chuck,

There is a way to add a Value Class, by editing the advance project settings xml. Open the project you wish to adjust, then go to the 'Settings' tab and click on the 'Project Settings' button. From here, you will see a small blue link that says "Edit Advanced Settings" near the Project Template listing.

Click that link and the advance project settings xml will be displayed and available for you to edit. We recommend that you make a local backup of these settings before you change them. There are some options on the screen to help you do this.

You will need to add or modify the strings in the following section of the xml, like this:

<Rule xsi:type="AllowedValuesRule" IsActive="true" AllowNull="true" FieldName="ValueClassification">
  <AllowedValues>
    <string>1 - Cost Saver</string>
    <string>2 - Differentiator</string>
    <string>3 - Spoiler</string>
    <string>4 - Table Stakes</string>
    <string>5 - My Custom Value Class</string>
  </AllowedValues>
</Rule>

You can find more information about the advanced project settings in the documentation here: http://www.telerik.com/agile-project-management-tools/support-resources/documentation/user-guide/features/synchronization/configuring-sync/advanced-project-settings.aspx
