Team Mapping

On the Team-Mapping screen you can map piplanning.io teams to Rally Projects. This defines into which project in Rally the sticky notes on the piplanning.io team board will be synced to.

Default values for fields

If your Rally is setup in a way that you have required fields (except for the Name, Schedule-State and Project fields) for certain Work-Items (Like User Stories), you will need to define a default value for these fields. If you do not define default values, piplanning.io will not be able to create the Work Items in Rally for you. Keep in mind, that those default values only apply for sticky notes which were created on the team board.

How to set default values for fields

  1. Go to the team-mapping screen of your Rally-connection

  2. Check the "show advanced settings" box on the top right of the screen

  3. Enter the default-values string into the default field values input field (learn more about the format of those strings below)

  4. You can test the field values by:

    1. select the 'test work item type

    2. hit 'create test work item'

    3. => You will either get the ID of the work-item or an error displayed

  5. Click on Check and Save on the bottom

Format and examples of default values for fields in Rally

The entered string needs to be JSON formatted.

{"<rally field name>": "<default value of that rally field>", "<second field>": "value of second field>"} 

Custom fields

Custom fields in Rally have the prefex "c_" inside of Rally. Additionally whitespaces are removed. An example: "Work Type" => "c_WorkType"

Examples

If you have a custom field in Rally called Work Item (type select-list) the string would look the following

{"c_WorkType": "Compliance"}
