Important

This article applies to project customization for the On-premises XML process model and the old work item form. For the Hosted XML process model and TFS 2017 and later versions that use the new work item form, see WebLayout and Control elements. For the Inheritance process model, see Customize a process.

You use the Tab element to cluster a group of fields or to support one or more special controls, such as the controls that link work items, display the work item history, or to attach files.
