Yesterday I created few alerts for changes in specific folders in TFS (in VS 2010, Source Control Explorer: File->Source Control...->Alert on change
). Now I see that I'm getting much more traffic than I expected so I wanted to remove some of the alerts. However I didn't find how to do that... I also didn't find how to see all the alerts I created.
I searched the web for an answer, but didn't find anything that seemed relevant.
Open TFS Administration Console, select Application Tier and click “Alert Settings”. Provide the SMTP detail; for the purpose of the demo, we have used Gmail. Enter the Gmail email id from which the email has to be triggered and username textboxes and password in the password box and click “OK”.
TFS notifications are useful in sending alerts when a work item is changed, the build is completed, build property changed etc. When I did it for the first time I had to research many articles to find what exactly to be done.
To unsubscribe from any notification, slide the state On/Off indicator ot the Off position. For example, here we turn off the "Build completes" notification subscription.
Sign in to your organization ( https://dev.azure.com/{yourorganization} ). Open your User settings, and then select Notification settings from the resulting list. To unsubscribe from any notification, slide the state On/Off indicator ot the Off position.
If you right-click the server/collection name in Team Explorer, you can choose 'Alerts Explorer'. From within Alerts Explorer you can add/edit/delete alerts that you have previously created.
