About the Custom Form Extensions

Release Control process apps include custom form extensions. These form extensions are bundles of form actions and widgets that allow you customize your forms. The Release Control form extensions include the formatting actions for solution forms, widgets to access release control data, and a widget for displaying reports in an action list format.

These custom form extensions are included in the process apps in the default installation of Release Control and are pre-configured to work with the default implementation. You can add these form extensions to new custom forms that you create to have access to the underlying Release Control data or to the apply the desired formatting. Refer to the documentation within the extension for details on how to implement it within your custom form.
