There is very nice and simple way to export all tickets from Youtrack to CSV: /issues page -> Reports -> Issues in CSV.
Unfortunately is does not contain any relations between tickets: depends on, parent of and etc. It is possible to get these links using REST API, but I'm looking for a solution that minimize programming (which fears managers).
Is it possible to export relations using built-in functionality?
Reason why I need to have these links along with tickets is that managers want to draw calendar plans using MS Project or custom Excel spreadsheet and they need to know blocking dependencies.
Exporting links in CSV is not possible. I hope that being able to view a gantt chart directly in YouTrack will relieve your managers: https://blog.jetbrains.com/youtrack/2016/01/10-most-wanted-features-in-youtrack/

I have this problem: need to create a Tree Map in Google Data Studio, but every "cell" should be clickable and redirect to another tab/link.
Is this possible? I checked the docs but couldn't find an official answer. Looking for a workaround!
As of now Google Data Studio does not provide such feature. So One data source per page in report that's its limitation.
Although you can create one (But this will not be a Tree Map you have to create it manually) with the help of text boxes and hyper links present in data studio.

Environment
I am using the native document management integration between Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 and Microsoft SharePoint 2010, via the CRM 2011 List component for SharePoint. There is nothing unusual about this deployment - it is configured to work with contacts and accounts and it all works as documented.
Requirements
I originally had several requirements (though in the course of writing this question, I have solved two of them)
Customise the columns shown to include custom columns (as already
defined in the List via SP)
Customise the default sort order
Customise the default column width for some columns
What I know so far
What I have learned is that the default view for the SharePoint Library seems to drive much of the behaviour of the component. Adding my custom columns to the Library's default view, causes them to appear in the List component output (I don't believe that this is documented anyway - please shout up if you think it is). The column ordering and the view sort order from the default view drive the List component too. Happy days - two requirements met.
SharePoint, via the web UI, doesn't allow column widths to be set (as they are rendered with dynamic widths) so Library Settings is no help here. Using SharePoint Designer to manually set the width on the columns also fails to get inherited by the List component.
The underlying pages that are installed to SharePoint and during installation of the List component sit in a ".../crmgrid/" sub directory. Of the available pages, crmgridpage.aspx seems to do all the rendering. SharePoint Designer is keen to tell me that "This page does not contain any regions that you have permissions to edit".
The Question
Is there any (innovative?) way for me to customise the default column width for some of the columns I am displaying via the List component?
Well you have limited options here. Because you're dealing with multiple domains, you run into cross domain scripting issues ruling out any javascript on the crm form.
The only way that comes to mind is to modify the crmgridpage.aspx page on your sharepoint server to set the width of the columns via javascript. It's totally unsupported though.
I have been looking all over for this. I have two seperate prpt files and I am able to generate the pdf's for these prpt files. I would like to combine both the reports into a single PDF with two pages. I would like to do this either in Report Designer or in Pentaho Data Integration. Please can someone help me out with this.
Thank you.
You can do this via a subreport in Report Designer - no need to use the DI tool. You create a new subreport in the parent report, then paste in all the elements from the child. Not very clean admittedly.
Alternatively if it's a very complex report you can unzip the prpt, insert the child report and re-zip it. But this is tricky - and there's some constraints about what must be done where!
If your sole purpose is to merge the pdf documents (and not the prpt files): There is a free open source tool called pdfsam which is capable of merging multiple pdf documents. Alternatively and if you are not reluctant to upload maybe sensitive data you could use an online service, e.g. mergepdf by foxyutils
I have been working on a UI app (written in VB.NET and using WPF) which creates charts using the Microsoft Chart Control for Windows Forms. The application retrieves data periodically from a remote database, parses and formats the data to create series, and then creates a chart based off the series which is then hosted in a WindowsFormsHost control. So far this process has been working well.
I have now been tasked with adding an organizational chart. The requirements state that it should have "drill-down" and touch functionality. I have not been able to find an org control like the chart controls I have been using. The closest one I found was the tree view control that comes with .NET Studio. I have looked at the WPF: Org Chart TreeView Conditional Formatting SO question, and also read the recommended Josh Smith CodeProject articles, but my boss does not want me to pursue developing my own org control at this time.
Is there a good third-party solution/plug-in already available? It would need:
...to be capable of being integrated
into the WPF as a control (like the
Chart Control mentioned above),
...to generate org charts dynamically
by connecting to a remote Oracle
Database to retrieve the data based
on either predefined views or
specific select statements (or read a
flat file to generate an XML file
containing all the relationships and
branches),
...to have a hierarchy that was
navigable by touch, i.e. touching a
node would show the branches beneath
that node--touching the node again
would hide the branches.
Any suggestions/help are greatly appreciated. I haven't been able to find any third-party options that fit all these requirements.

I support Rational clearquest for my company and have been asked to show some of the data in Sharepoint.
I can query the data in Clearquest no problem (Using Toad) but have no idea about how to go displaying it in Sharepoint.
The data I'm querying contains dates and ideally I'd like to be able display it in a sharepoint calendar but list format would do for the moment.
Can anybody offer advice on even where to start?
Thanks,
Joe
Whilst you could do the bare bones approach suggested by Ben there are lots of options that will give you a 'leg up' especially if you are just displaying data.
Your first look should be at SharePoints Data View Web Part (DVWP). There is a length walkthrough here and some great tutorials by Laura Rogers
Very similar but if you hate SharePoint designer there is Lighting Tools Data Viewer Web Part
If you are using MOSS you could use the Business Data Catalog (BDC) - Display business data on a SharePoint site
There are other 3rd party options too that don't require MOSS such as Layer2's Business Data List Connector (BDLC)
If you have technical resource you could (expanding on approach suggested by Ben) write your own Reusable SQL Data Viewer Web Part
You would have to develop a sharepoint "feature" such as a webpart. You could then display retrieve the data from the db and display it however you want. You would basically be developing a asp.net component/application but with certain restrictions that sharepoint forces on you. You can read the basic steps here
