Sitecore Item not indexing in Coveo while doing smart publish - coveo

As of now getting issue while publishing the Sitecore item then it's not going to Coveo index.
I am doing smart publishing for item and publishing item individually.
Can anyone help us, is there republish required in place of Smart publish for index the item from Sitecore to Coveo.

This is a very broad question and many things can go wrong when indexing from Sitecore, but I can still give you some direction on how to troubleshoot this.
Coveo for Sitecore includes two indices by default: Coveo_master_index and Coveo_web_index.
When you publish an item, it is published to the "web" index in Sitecore, which triggers events in Sitecore's indexing pipeline that Coveo for Sitecore listens to. Those events include item information, and Coveo built its own item conversion on top of Sitecore's native events.
Now, the specifics are different from Sitecore version to version (and Coveo for Sitecore version), so I would first suggest that you try accessing the Coveo Diagnostic Panel (accessible from Sitecore's settings menu, in the Coveo section).
If there is nothing wrong on the page, I would suggest doing a full rebuild of both Coveo_master_index and Coveo_web_index by using the Coveo Command Center panel (only in Coveo for Sitecore 5+). When the rebuild is finished, ensure that the items you expected are in your index.
Then, I would suggest having a look at your Configuration files. Maybe there is a coveoInboundFilterPipeline that filters on this type of item, or maybe the Coveo_web_index scope does not include the path you are trying to publish.
At this point, if you are still having issue, you best bet is to contact support with as much information as possible, such as a Coveo Diagnostic Package, Sitecore versions, Coveo for Sitecore versions, logs, anything that you think might be of help.

Define custom icons for global quick search

We are using mostly custom entities in our on-premise installation of Dynamics CRM 2016.
When using the global/quick search function, the search results show the generic entity icon even though custom icons have been configured and are also shown in the sitemap. The background of the custom icons has been taken from the solution but not the icon itself.
Can this be changed or is this functionality not available?
This seems to be working for me. Here's a screenshot from our development environment. I've blocked out the Entity names, but you can see that the icons are different for each entity

I think you may be affected by a cache issue as pointed out by others. All these entities (and their icons) have been in place for weeks.
Sorry it doesn't help you, but at least shows what the default behavior should be.

TFS/VS2015 Project Documents URL Add-On

I'm wondering if anyone has seen a Add-On for VS 2015 that would allow you to got into the Project > Documents section and then be able to right click on a document and view its properties?
Mainly we are interested in grabbing the document's URL. Currently we are forced to go to the project's portal and get the link from there.
If there isn't one could someone point me to a good reference on making an Add-On to try to do this?

Alert on custom identification

I use TFS 2013 Update 2 and Visual Studio 2013 Update 2.
How can I create an identification to a workitem where I can create an alert on?
I have workitems for a specific customer. I added a tag to those workitems. I want an alert when something changes with a workitem with that tag. Because alerts don't support tags, I created a custom field but I also can't set an alert with the "=" operator on that field.
Please help.
Rather than using tags can you try setting an area path for your specific customer, and put the work items under this area? Then you can use the custom alert template "A work item under a specified area path changes" to receive your alerts.
The only solution that I can think of is to add a "tag" to the title of the workitem. We have the taggging and set the tag Foo. We also place the tag in the title like this (Foo). Than we have a query that searches for workitems that only have the real tag and not the title tag. Of course also the other way around.
We are going to use this until the next version were hopefully this feature is added. See for the uservoices the following:

TFS2010 - Link to other work item embedded in text field?

When entering a work item in TFS2010, it's often nice to refer to other tickets in the text free fields (either description or Acceptance Criteria field).
Most other ticket tracking software I have used automatically creates links/hyperlinks to other tickets if you put appropriate text into these fields (e.g, Trac, BugTracker.NET, etc).
I understand the link tab, and that you can create relationships there, but it would be lovely to have this feature available and clickable in the other text field.
Does TFS2010 (+ Visual Studio 2010) support something like this? I cannot find for the life of me, a solution.
If you use a rich text edit field (the advanced text field available for work item definitions, with coloring buttons and so on), you can include hyperlinks, also to other workitems etc. This is however a manual exercise to make the hyperlink point to the correct item, there is no automatic recognition of #-tags or whatever to refer to other workitems.
Hi you could use a plugin called TFS Extensions Kit. TEK workitem. This is a Visual Studio extension that allows, besides other features, to open, in Visual Studio, workitems and queries from a Hyperlink.
So you could use the hyperlinks in any field.
Look at the Visual Studio Gallery:TFS Extensions Kit. TEK workitem

It's an old question, but if you get here looking for the answer for VSTS the answer is hashtag followed by itemId. Similar to #UserName to reference another user.
Eg. In comments box typing This is a dupe of #2428 will translate into This is a dupe of User Story 2428: Story name where User Story 2428: Story name is a link to the item.
