StarFlow Extensions Project

By default, when you install StarTeam Server, the installer automatically installs and creates the StarFlow Extensions project. The StarFlow Extensions project contains a folder named Projects. You must use this project to store your custom Layout Designer forms.

Forms stored within the Projects folder are used by projects on the server as follows:

  • If you store a custom form in the Projects folder, it is used by all projects on the server unless a form at a lower level overrides it.
  • If you create a myproject folder under the Projects folder, all forms stored within this folder are used for the project named myproject on the server that contains the StarFlow Extensions project.
  • If you create a myviews folder under the myproject folder, the forms stored within it are used in the myviews view for the specified project.

You must use specific filenames for layout files. File names are case-sensitive. If a file is named incorrectly, the client cannot find or use the file. Layout Designer outputs *.Layout..xml files. The following filenames are supported for each item type:

File

File.Layout.xml

Change Request

ChangeRequest.Layout.xml

Requirement

Requirement.Layout.xml

Task

Task.Layout.xml

Topic

Topic.Layout.xml
