Adding tabs to forms

By default, each record form contains two tabs to hold all controls. You can add more tabs to the form to separate and group your controls.

Procedure

To add a tab to a form:
  1. In the Schema Repository Explorer, right-click a schema, and then click Revision Control > Checkout.
  2. In the Comments dialog, enter a comment, and then click OK.
  3. In the Schema Repository Explorer, expand the Record Types or Record Types - Stateless folder in your schema and then double-click a record type.
    The record type editor opens.
  4. Click the Forms tab to view the forms for the record type.
  5. On the Palette, click Tab Item.
  6. Move the pointer to the top of the form. Click the location where you want the new tab to be.

Results

After adding a tab to a form, you can change the name that is displayed on the tab, specify an access key for the page, restrict user access to the page, change the tab position, delete unused tabs, and copy the contents of a page.
