Tracking Releases: Work Items
On the Release Dashboard page, you can filter work items in the selected release
You can select a status to filter work items based on their status.
Under Test Run Visibility, you can also select one of the following:
Do not show Test Runs: Test runs are not listed.
Show only Test Runs: The test runs in the release are listed.
Show all Tracker Items: Show all types of work items.
The Status and Test Run Visibility filter options can be used together.
The filter panel on the right has multiple panels with different value filters. You can use these to filter the work items by their values.
Both filter options from the top filter can be used simultaneously.
The right-side filter panel has a couple of panels containing filters in different categories. These filters only allow values, which are present in the currently visible set of work items. For example the following teams are working on the release:

The numbers in a cell shows the number of work items that apply to that row’s filter. Only one filter from the right panel can be active.
You can use the Permanent Linkoption to share a filter view for a release . You can copy the resulting URL from the browser.
Work items may reference other work items. You can check these references by clicking the + icon for a work item.

The icon is only present when a work item has references. You can configure the Reference Viewer by selecting Reference View Settings under the More menu.
