TFS 2017 | TFS 2015 | TFS 2013

A query hyperlink uses the Work Item Query Language (WIQL), which resembles Transact-SQL. For details about constructing WIQLs, see Syntax for the Work Item Query Language (WIQL).

Note

Most browsers enforce a limit of between 2000 and 2083 characters for a URL string.

https://{ServerName}/{CollectionName}/{ProjectName}/_workitems?_a=query&wiql={Encoded WorkItemQueryLanguage}

For example, the following hyperlink lists the ID, title, and state of all bugs under the FabrikamFiber/Web area path.

http://fabrikam:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection/FabrikamFiber/_workitems?_a=query&wiql=SELECT%20%5BSystem.ID%5D%2C%20%5BSystem.Title%5D%2C%20%5BSystem.State%5D%20FROM%20WorkItems%20WHERE%20%5BSystem.TeamProject%5D%3D'FabrikamFiber'%20AND%20%5BSystem.WorkItemType%5D%3D'Bug'%20AND%20%5BSystem.AreaPath%5D%3D'FabrikamFiber%5CWeb'%20%20

Which is comparable to the non-encoded entry shown below.

http://fabrikam:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection/FabrikamFiber/_workitems?_a=query&wiql=
SELECT [System.ID], [System.Title], [System.State] 
   FROM WorkItems 
   WHERE [System.TeamProject]='FabrikamFiber' 
   AND [System.WorkItemType]='Bug' 
   AND [System.AreaPath]='FabrikamFiber\Web'
