Changing the order of tabs

By default, tabs on a form are displayed in the order in which you create them. You can change the order by assigning an index number to a tab. The index number identifies the order of the tab on the form; the first tab has index number 0, the second tab has index number 1, and so on.

Procedure

To change the order of tabs:
  1. Start the Designer.
  2. In the Schema Repository Explorer view, expand the Record Types folder in your schema and then double-click on a record type.
    The record type editor opens.
  3. Click the Forms tab to open the form.
  4. Click a tab on the form to open up it's properties page.
  5. On the properties page for the tab, set the Tab Index number.
    Select 0 for the tab you want to display first on the form; select 1 for the second tab, and so on.
  6. Close the form and reopen it to see the change.
