Release pipelines not visible on Azure DevOps page - azure-devops

I can view all features except Release pipelines which is showing empty screen for me as shown below. I have tried different browsers such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, both showing empty screen. I have verified that I have full access permissions and Visual Studio subscription also. Let me know if you ever faced such issue and a solution for this. Thanks.

You could troubleshoot this issue by checking following steps.
Go to Organization Settings>>Users page to check if your access level, make sure that you are not StakeHolder.
Go to this Project Settings>>Permissions>>Users tab to find you, and check which groups that you belong to. Usually members of Contributors group can freely access to releases page.
Check if others in the same group have the same issue, or just you have this issue.
Try this in other computers to check if there are some plugins or extensions which cause this issue.
If you are behind firewall or proxy, please check if the requests are blocked. You could click F12 to check the browser network requests.
BTW, we find that there are service events, which might causes this issue, you could monitor it.

Can't add New Work Items from the Sprint View in Boards

Host Details:
OS Editon: Azure Devops server 2016
OS Build: 1607
Azure DevOps Details:
AZ server: 2019
The issue:
For one Team Project, we are requiring to have three different sub-area paths so we can place work accordingly for each team Properly to follow it.
The three sub-areas were created as follow:
and visible are visible from Bords:
But, and here the issue, the Button for creating New Work Item now is Disabled, as shown below:
Also
How could re-enable this button?
We use this button at daily basis to create New Tasks or as required, is so weird that enabling one functionality we lost other.
It’s possible your workflow has the work item disabled. Check your process and see if the work item type is disabled. Also on the ribbon next to View as Board, hover and click, it will give you a more detailed error message.
If the work item is disabled you will see this message.
Solved by myself
Hello Martin, thanks for reaching me out so swiftly,
I did found the issue, due to a lack in Azure DevOps documentation didn't know that when creating a new Team Project have to create the extra teams within the Project before anything else, and then is that can proceed to add define the sub-area paths in the Boards Section and then is when is possible to have First multiple teams within a team project and Second have enabled the Work Items Button for each team sprint:
See for example this MS official documentation how they don't make any clarification of it: {{ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/settings/about-areas-iterations?view=azure-devops }} :
Also here {{ https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/organizations/settings/set-area-paths?view=azure-devops&tabs=browser }} :
So MS docs miss that point completaly!
Solved each team is an independent unit and for that each will have their own setup,
Once that is corrected all works fine

Azure DevOps Code Review email does not list files that are to be reviewed

When I get a code review from another person, sometimes the code review states the project name and list the files that are contained in the review. More often than not, it just says none. (please see red box in the image below)
Unless the person gives a good title, it can be difficult to know which project I need to review.
When I open the review, all of the files show up and everything works just fine.
Its only the email that seems to be the issue.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
I can reproduce above issue. It seems that the problem resides in azure devops server.
You can report this problem to microsoft development team. Hope they will look into this issue and provide a fix soon.

Azure DevOps: Adding team members to a new team/area

I have created a new Team/Area under our project within Azure DevOps.
When I send the URL for the backlog, the team members are able to access the link but not see any of the work items.
I have tried the following:
Confirm the user has Basic licence.
Confirm the user has access to the project.
Added the user to the Team for that area.
Is there anything obvious I am missing?
I am pretty confident this is not a bug, but just something in the process of giving users access that I am not doing.
Any help very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Alasdair.
When I send the URL for the backlog, the team members are able to access the link but not see any of the work items.
This could be caused by multiple reasons which means we might need to check several setttings.
Choose the right team in BackLogs page:
check the Project Settings-Team configuration-Areas, make sure the target Team area has been added:
Check Project Settings - Permissions and make sure your team has
the right permission to see the BackLogs Itmes.
Is this something that I need to set every time I create a new team?
No, you don't have to set them every time. When you create a team,
the Permissions setting could be automatically inherited:

Issue with Query tile widget

I use Query Result tiles in my dashboard to help teammates on multiple projects to quickly view the work that is assigned to them. We used to be able to click on a given task to open the detailed description of said task but now it no longer works. The tile only shows the associated user story and is no longer linking to the detailed view screen.
I have checked the queries used (simple work items and direct link query that shows all tasks assigned to a given user and its associated User Story) and reviewed the latest updates to Azure Devops but I can't find any changes that could affect the expected results.
Sorry about this issue you meet. This is caused by our server. There are some mistake occurred on our side, so that the work item which displayed on dashboards could not be clickable successfully now.
You can follow this ticket which report on Developer Community.
The fixed release has been deployed now, but haven't cover all regions. It may take some time to finish that. Please wait for this fix deploy finished. And if you still have this issue recently, you can vote and comment on Develop Community.
Our product engineers are still focusing on this issue and will help you investigate more.

Sharepoint workflow deployed, but not showing up

I have a sharepoint workflow that I created in VS2010, and I've deployed it through the web interface to my sharepoint 2010 environment. The ui says that it's been deployed, and it is activated on my site. If I look in my site features, I do see the entry for it and everything looks good. But when I go to any of my lists to try to add it in, it isn't showing up... it has to be something easy that I'm missing, does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks for the help!
I did finally find what the issue was... for me, when I went to the workflow settings on a list, I had to hit the drop down for item type and choose item instead of all. Once I did that, the workflow showed up for me to select it.
Go to the List | Worklfow Settings page and select the link "Remove Workflow"
When that loads, see if the workflow is set to "Allow New Instances", if not, make it so and see if that gets things running for you again.
