Overview<\/h3>\n\nThis article describes the procedure to create new Work Item Types<\/i> (WIT) and Work Item Type fields<\/i> using Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) Connector.<\/i><\/p>\n
Work Item Types<\/font><\/i> and Work Item Type fields<\/i> can be created while defining a synchronization scheme.<\/font>
\nRefer to the article <\/font>Defining Synchronization Scheme for TopTeam VSTS Connector.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\nWho should read this?<\/h3>\n\n\n- TopTeam Users<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
IMPORTANT<\/h3>\n\nMicrosoft Visual Studio Team Services<\/i> (Cloud) does not support the API call required to create custom Work Item Types (WITs)<\/i>. Therefore, you have to manually create WITs corresponding to TopTeam<\/i> artifact types (record types that you want to synchronize) on VSTS Cloud and then synchronize corresponding TopTeam<\/i> artifact types (record types) with VSTS Cloud.<\/p>\n
To create custom Work Item Types<\/i> on Team Services,<\/i> refer to the Microsoft Visual Studio Team Services<\/a> article.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\nStep 1.
