In Visual Studio, open your project and connect to the Fortress Server. Then select View->Fortress->Work Item Tracking and Pending Changes.

Other Fortress menu items are View->Toolbars->Fortress Work Item tracking, and View->Output, which gives you the Messages Pane.

Linda, Thanks. Now how does one connect code with issues or bugs? Is there a doc on that?

It's in the documentation in Fortress Client Help->Using Fortress->Working with Files->Checking in Files. Click the Check In/Commit link.

Here's the info:

Update Bugs allows you notify the bug tracking system that files relating to item numbers were checked in.

You can either type in the item ID in the text box or click the Browse button to see a list of bugs that are currently assigned to you, and select one or more from that list.

Type the case number in the Update Bugs box.

Note
The update bugs section of the checkin dialog is only enabled if files in the checkin transaction have a status of added or modified.

When the file is commited, the files that were checked in will be associated with the items in the bug tracking system.

Multiple ID numbers may be entered, separated by a comma or semicolon.
