Step-by-Step Guide:
- On a browser, go to the URL or your Manuscript account [subdomain].manuscript.com
- Log in with your username and password (as administrator).
- From the Avatar menu, choose Source Control.
- Click Create New Repository
- Select Team Foundation as the type
- Give the repository a display name.
- Click Next.
In the resulting dialog, download the script necessary to get TFS to transmit changes to Manuscript and choose whether you want Manuscript to provide links to your check-ins. You can change this setting later by clicking the Edit icon next to the repository on the Admin | Source Control page.
Diff and log links
Manuscript can provide links to a site that displays diffs and logs for changes connected to a case. In version 2008, Team Foundation Server itself does not include web-based diff and log viewing capabilities, but Microsoft provides a free application called Team System Web Access 2008 that can display diffs and logs from a web browser. TFS 2010 includes this by default. Once it is installed and working, set the path to it in the New Repository dialog and click OK to complete the setup. For TFS 2010, this should be www.example.org:8080/tfs/web
Note: Team System Web Access 2005 (and therefore Team Foundation Server 2005) will not work with web-based diffs and logs since it doesn’t allow direct links to logs and diffs.
