Jenkins plugins to show what tabs a job is in? - plugins

I've just taken over a new system with a lot of Jenkins tasks, some of which were added to multiple view tabs in error.
I can click on the tabs to see the jobs. I'm looking for a plugin that will let me click on a job and display which view tabs the job is a member of. I've searched; but can't find one and am wondering is someone knows if such a plugin exists.

Azure DevOps: work items do not appear in the backlog

I just created a list of work items, under a project in Azure DevOps: 1 epic and 3 features (these 3 are child linked to the epic).
But when I go to the backlogs to see these items, they are not shown. I get the following message:
I tried a couple of solutions that I found on the web, but they do not work.
Please help me to figure out why these are not being shown in the backlog... (of course I'm new at Azure DevOps).
Thanks!
From the screenshot, I can see that only epic and feature:
You need to select epic or feature type in this place:
Create Tasks under the User Story.
Epic ---> Features---> User Story --->Tasks. So then in the backlog top right corner when you select Epic, Features, User Story, Tasks will appear. When you select the Feature, User Story, Tasks will appear. When you select the User Story, Tasks will appear.
Reference link
I found the answer by going through the different buttons on the screen:
Go to Configure Team Settings (when selected a box will be displayed)
Be sure that in the Backlog section all items are selected (in my case they weren´t)
Be sure that all of the work items in different levels are shown by clicking on the + symbol. (the - symbol will hide them).
And that is it!

Adding members to on premises VSTS web page just loads forever

I'm using an on premises VSTS server. I'm the owner.
My problem is very simple. I have created a project and set up Git version control on that project. It works beautifully. However, when I go to Add users on the main project page, a loading spinner appears that just loads forever (like, say, 10 minutes). Equally, if I go to the users tab, which would be another way to add them, I believe, it just infinitely loads again.
Tried Chrome and IE9. Tried logging in and out. Tried on multiple days, multiple times. I really can't think of anything else to try. I can't find anyone on the internet with the same problem.
Any suggestions gratefully received.

vsts How do I add columns to task boards

I have looked at various articles and can see how to add columns to story boards, however we are working in sprints using the task boards and I cannot find any way of adding another column to the task board. Could someone please help me?
Go to the admin for your project. Click the "Process" that you're currently using. Find "Task" in the "Work Item Types" tab. Click the "States" tab and add a new State. This new state will appear as a column on the task board.

How can a Jenkins build differentiate between a SCM-triggered, and a user-requested build?

I would like my builds to behave differently (a handling script needs to know) if a person requested the build through the UI "build now" button, or if it was triggered by SCM. I don't want to have to provide a checkbox in the UI that the users have to alter - I've already gotten blowback from them about such things. Trouble is, any parameter I set has the same default regardless of how the build is triggered.
You should not really have 1 job with different behaviour. If you need different behaviour set up a job per behaviour. Best bet in your case is to have 2 separate jobs, one for the SCM triggered builds, and one for the manually triggered builds.
There's a plugin to allow you to filter jobs into separate pages (can't remember the name at the moment). You could set all SCM builds on 1 page and manual builds on another, then set the manual build page as the default one on login. Users will only see the jobs you want triggered manually by default, but can still access the SCM triggered builds by selecting the other page.
Could you somehow check the SCM polling log during the pre-build (with a script), and then go from there?

Share the eclipse search result/ query

I just want to know if the search result in eclipse search view can be shared with fellow team mate as it is.
I perform a search and delete few unwanted entries and then send it to him/ her
The other person shall be able to view it exactly same manner in the search view.
Is there a way to do this?
The will be very helpful for me
You should be looking at the Mylyn project (http://eclipse.org/mylyn).
This project allows you to create tasks and send them to co-workers through a task repository (such as bugzilla, jira, or most major issue trackers). Attached to these tasks are "contexts", which associate code elements (methods, fields, classes, etc) with the task.
Here is what you would need to do:
Install mylyn (you and all co-workers)
Install the proper connector for your issue tracker (most major issue trackers have one). If you are not using an issue tracker, then you can still import and export tasks as files, but it is less easy to do, and I'd recommend using an issue tracker anyway.
Now add the task repository to your Eclipse. This is the way that mylyn speaks to your issue tracker. It allows you to create issues, bug reports, tasks, etc, from within Eclipse.
With this set up, you can now create a task associated with a task repository and activate it. You can add the desired program elements to your task by right clicking -> Mark as Landmark.
Once you have your task context complete, you can then attach the context to the remote repository (essentially attaching a zip file to the issue in your issue tracker). Other users can then retrieve the context and immediately start working with the context that you created.
It is really a great way to work when you need to share information about specific features in the code to other people on the project.
