You don't. Use eg. 'snippets' leaf in Aegir instead. I wrote a quick
entry for the documentation in
https://www.midgard-project.org/documentation/midcom-component-configuration/

In nutshell:

1) log into Aegir
2) go to snippets -leaf
3) create snippet directories '/sitegroup-config/no.odindata.quickform'
4) create snippet 'config'
5) copy and paste the original config
   - change the schema path to what you want to
   - with experience I'd recommend to use
     '/sitegroup-config/no.odindata.quickform' for the path
6) write schema
   - you can use the original schema as a guideline
   - rule of thumb: if you don't know what 'location' to specify, use
     'parameter'

Eclipse might be one tool that might help when browsing through
component schemas, styles and such. I was writing in the summertime a
bit of a small tutoria to explain some parts of schemas, yet the work
was left on the table. It's *very* incomplete, but can be found in

http://www.kaktus.cc/midgard/schema/

'no.odindata.quickform' has in 'component configuration' a place where
you can enter the schema path if you don't want to use the default.

BTW, if you want to get a local tutor, you can also contact me. My
office is in Matinkylä, so we could also sit down and take a look under
the skirt of MidCOM.
