Related Items for Review Activity
After my blog post about adding Related Items tab to Manual Activity form in Microsoft System Center 2012 Service Manager, we have found out that some people just need the same ready-to-go solution for Review Activity.
As I wrote in my first blog post, you can use the same control with Review Activity form. All what you need is just to make some small modifications in the management pack to point the type projection to the Review Activity class.
I have done all the required work for your convenience, dear reader, and that’s the result:
You can create many scenarios with the Related Items tab in Review Activities. On the screenshot above, you can see the attached email message processed by SCUtils Email Connector that can attach messages, recipients, and attachments to Activities.
You can also can add some required files for Reviewers to consider while approving or declining Review Activities in SCSM 2012. In our earlier blog post, we presented a way to email links to files attached to the parent Work Item. You can easily modify the solution’s code to send links to the files directly attached to Review Activities.
To add Related Items to Review Activity form, import ReviewActivityformWithRelatedItems.mpb. The archive consists all the source material. The details and Visual Studio project for the custom control you can find here.
