Layout Designer

Layout Designer can be used with the Cross-Platform Client to create and maintain property dialogs that respect the built-in StarTeam workflow.

While the default properties are suitable for many installations, you can customize the product to fit the needs of your organization. Available customization options include adding or removing values from existing properties and adding new properties and values to an item. The added properties and values enable you to track information of interest to your organization.

Note: Using Layout Designer with the Cross-Platform Client does not allow you to create custom workflows to manage items (such as change requests and requirements). To create custom workflows, use StarTeam Extensions.

Layout Designer provides the ability to customize forms within the application. Custom forms can be used to show custom properties, hide default properties that are not of interest to your organization, or rearrange the interface to more closely meet the requirements of your organization.
