Work Item Entry from Project Portal


Is there any way to enhance the Project Portal so that an user can insert a new work item through project portal? We usually can do this from the IDE, Excel and Project Server.

You might want to think about combining the work item object model with custom web parts and plugging them into the portal once created.
There are third party products available that have that functionality so it 's doable.

Thanks Joe. I can use some more info. For example, where do I find exact work item object model? Any link for third party tools that I can evaluate?

Also, can I directly manipulate the work item database of TFS? If that is the case, I can think about creating a client and giving it role based permissions to insert new work orders to people who does not have access to VSTS IDE.

Get the Visual Studio SDK and there are quite a few examples of using the work item object model. http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/extend/.

The general advice from Microsoft and the VSTS community is not to directly manipulate the data in the VSTS databases. There are dependencies throughout the schema that will cause you problems if you start directly editing, updating and deleting data.
