Displaying Custom Property Fields

It is helpful to be able to look at a list of all custom property fields that have been created for a certain type of item. Also, having created such fields, you may wish to select them for display on the upper pane of the project view window.

This section describes how to display custom property fields in the StarTeam Cross-Platform Client.
