Layout XML element reference

  • Članek

TFS 2015 | TFS 2013

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.

For an overview of process models, see Customize your work tracking experience.

You can use the Layout element to define how the elements on the work item form appear. You can define more than one layout to support different clients, such as the Windows client for Visual Studio or the web portal layout.

To add elements to a form, you modify the definition for a work item type. See Modify or add a custom work item type.

The Layout element is a required child element of the FORM element. For more information about how to use the Layout element, see Design the work item form.
