Create and Reorder Subtabs in Application Details Pages

This example illustrates how to add and reorder subtabs that appear on the application details pages. In this example, let's look at adding and reordering subtabs for the Account object.

Creating a Subtab

Let's create a related object subtab for the Edit Account application page.

Note: Before you begin, you must be in an active sandbox session.Also, it's assumed that you already created a custom child object for the Account object.

To create a subtab:

1. Navigate to the Account object in Application Composer.

2. Select the Pages node.

3. On the Application Pages tab, under Details Page Layouts, duplicate the standard layout to create a new layout to edit, or edit another existing layout.

4. On the Details Layout page, click the + icon at the bottom left of the page. This icon appears at the bottom of all subtabs.

5. On the Create Subtab page, select Child object, and click Next.

6. On the Create Subtab: Child Object page, enter details for the child object whose records you want to capture on this custom subtab.

7. Click Save and Close.

Reordering a Subtab

Next, you can configure the custom subtab so that it appears closer to the top of other subtabs.

1. On the Details Layout page, click the Reorder Subtabs icon which appears as two green arrows at the top of the subtabs.

2. In the Configure Subtabs dialog, highlight your custom subtab and then use the up arrow to change the order of your subtab within the existing set of subtabs.

3. Click OK, and then click Done.
