Help Us Help You: Defining Custom Settings in Team Architect (aka Whitehorse)

Alex Torone, a Program Manager on the Team Architect product team, would like your feedback on the custom settings feature in Team Architect (aka Whitehorse). Specifically, he'd like to know how you anticipate using this feature and if there's anything the team can to do to make it more useful.

What are custom settings?

Custom settings are a way for you to specify your own metadata about applications, logical servers, endpoints, and zones. Unlike other settings, custom settings can be displayed in the Properties window. Custom settings can also be used in custom deployment scripts because they are captured in the deployment report, or they might be a means of recording information about the runtime configuration.
