  3. Modify the component definition:
    Component Name
    Enter the component name. This is the internal name of the component.
    Display Name
    Enter the display name. This is the name that is displayed on the custom component control label.
    Type
    Enter the type of component.
    Tree Component
    The Tree Component type can have parent child relationships. An example would be a StarTeam Task type. When shared into views, this type cannot branch. You need to either pin the new share such that it's frozen in a state in time, or make it float.
    Branchable Component
    A Branchable Component is like a StarTeam Change Request. It is a type that does not have parent-child relationships. When shared into new views, the item can branch when changes are made. Therefore, the original item and the new item can have different sets of edits.
  4. Click OK.
