How to: View Build Summary Status
Team Foundation Build uses build types to manage the build parameters to build a team project. The Team Build Browser lets you view a summary status on builds that have been run. Before you can view build type summary status information in the Team Build Browser, you must create and run a build type. For more information, see How to: Create a New Build Type and How to: Run a Build on a Build Type. You can view build type summary status information about build types in the Team Build Browser using the following procedure.
Required Permissions
To perform this procedure, you must have the Team Foundation Server View project-level information permission set to Allow. For more information, see Team Foundation Server Permissions.
To view build type summary status information in Team Foundation Build Browser
In Team Explorer, locate and expand the Team Build node, double-click the All Build Types node in the Team Builds folder. A summary of all completed and in progress builds is displayed in Team Build Browser.
Tip
