Schedule & bulk
Templates that run on a timer to report, assign, comment, or close work in bulk.
Weekly closed work report
Every Monday, email a report of work items whose Closed Date is in the last 7 days. Closed Date covers Done as well as Closed.
Bulk assign from a query
On a schedule, run a shared query and set Assigned To on matching items (max 50).
Bulk comment from a query
On a schedule, run a shared query and add a comment on each matching item (max 50).
Close resolved work after 30 days
Daily, find items in the Resolved state category unchanged for 30+ days, set State to Completed (Closed or Done for the work item type), and add a comment (max 50 per run; the rest wait for the next day).
Stale work report
Every Monday, email incomplete work items not changed in 14+ days (Closed Date empty). Adjust the stale window, or add work item types (Bug, User Story, Task) if the list is too broad.
Unassigned work report
Every Monday, email incomplete work items with no assignee, excluding Proposed (New, To Do, …). Closed Date empty.
