I'm new to Visual Studio Online and trying to create custom work item types and custom workflow. I can't seem to find any documentation or anywhere in the UI that allows you to defined these items. Anyone know how this can be done.
To add a custom field, add field rules, or change the label of a field on a work item form, you modify the work item type (WIT) or types that use the field. Follow the customization sequence that matches your process model. To change a field attribute or rename a field, use the witadmin command line tool.
Open Visual Studio 2019, Team Explorer, and then choose Work Items. If you don't see the Work Items option, you need to connect to a project and not just a repository. From the Connect to a Project dialog. Use CTRL-Shift to select your options and then choose Connect.

As of January 2016: Process Customisation is supported in VSTS, details can be found in this blog post.
Before January 2016:
It can't be done at the moment, however, there are internal Microsoft teams using customised process templates on Visual Studio Online.
Expect this to change later this year (2015) - keep an eye on Brian Harry's blog.
The best you can get at the moment is using Tags and customise the Kanban boards.
