[Team System] Displaying Document Folders in the Quick Launch Bar

Some people who are editing their Team System process templates and are new to Sharepoint wonder how to publish their own document folders in the menu of the portal home page. There are at least 2 ways - either use Frontpage (which I haven't tested yet), or in Sharepoint go to "Documents and Lists", click the folder in question, click "Modify settings and columns" in the left hand menu and then "Change general settings" and tell it to "Display this document library on the Quick Launch bar".

To modify the Quick Launch bar when it comes to reports and such, I think Frontpage is the tool. I'll try that as soon as I get Frontpage installed... not even sure which version of Frontpage to use actually.

Last thing to do is to modify the Sharepoint portal template in a way that suits the new process template, then create a new template out of it, make sure it's installed on the Team System server and then point at it from the WssTasks.xml file:

<site template="Your_Sharepoint_template" language="1033" />

Who said creating your own process template for TFS was easy? :) I'll get back to this process in a later post.
