Using System Fields and Fields Defined by the MSF Process Templates
You use two main types of fields to track data for a type of work item. System fields are defined for all work item types, and all other fields are created by adding FIELD element definitions for them to a work item type. When the work item type is uploaded to Team Foundation, either when a team project is created or by other means, all new fields are added to the set of fields that are defined for the team project collection. For example, when you create a team project that uses the Microsoft Solutions Framework (MSF) for Agile Software Development - v5.0 process template, all fields that are defined in each Agile work item type are added to the team project collection of data fields.
Note
This topic lists all fields that are defined in the work item type definition files of the MSF for Agile Software Development - v5.0 process template. Many of these fields are also defined in the work item type definition files of the MSF for Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Software Development - v5.0 process template. The CMMI process template is not complete in this release. Not all fields defined in the CMMI process template are described in this topic.
By using the system fields or other fields you have added to your project collection, you can enable meaningful cross-team project reports and queries. In addition, any non-system field that is referenced in the workflow or forms section of the work item type definition must have a FIELD element that defines it in the FIELDS section of the work item type definition XML file. Also, you must specify any non-system field that you might want to use to generate a query or report in the FIELDS section.
You should use as many of the system and existing project collection fields as possible to make your work item type more portable between project collections. To support additional tracking needs, you can define your own custom work item fields. For more information, see Working with Work Item Fields.

Fields that are used only to track types of work items for CMMI:
|
FIELD Element Syntax
The following syntax structure and attributes define fields:
<FIELD name="field display name" refname="field reference name" type="String | Integer |
Double | DateTime | PlainText | HTML | History | TreePath | GUID "
syncnamechanges="true | false" reportable="Dimension | Detail | Measure" formula="sum"
indexable="true | false" >
</FIELD>
Later in this topic, you will find brief descriptions and the default attribute assignments for each system and MSF Agile defined field. Note the following information about the specification of attributes:
You can specify a field name that you want and have it be different in different work item definitions. All field data is tracked based on the reference name.
The type attribute specifies the data type for the field. For a description of each data type, see Working with Work Item Fields. For information about the controls that display specific field types, see Specifying Work Item Form Controls.
String fields that are used to store person names should have the syncnamechanges attribute set to true. This setting indicates that the contents of the field should be updated as changes are made to person names in Active Directory or a workgroup.
Fields that have their Reportable attribute assigned a value of Detail, Dimension, or Measure are tracked in the data warehouse. For more information, see Working with Work Item Fields.
The Indexable attribute is set to True to increase the performance of running queries that specify that field in the filter criteria. If you add a custom field that you use in many of your work item queries, you may want to enable indexing for that field.
You can change the field name and the Reportable and Indexable attribute assignments for any field, except system fields, by using the witadmin command-line tool. For more information, see Managing Work Item Fields [witadmin].
