Create Tabs

Use Application Composer to create extra tabs within a page layout.

Admin-Defined Tabs

Use the tabs to display either a related object, a context link, or mashup content.

Note: You can’t create child objects for change orders. The Create Child Object button is no longer available for change order objects in Application Composer.

Create Related Object

To assign a related object, first create a new object in the Custom Objects node. After you create a new object, relate it to the change order object.

Note: You can't create child objects for change orders. The Create Child Object button is no longer available for the change order object. However, you can create a one-to-many relationship for your configured object from the Relationships node in Application Composer. Child objects that you've created before Update 23D are available, and you can edit the attributes of such objects, although usage isn’t recommended.

Here’s how:

1. Select the Relationships node in the Common Setup pane to create a new relationship.

2. In the Create Relationship page, set Change Order as the Source Object.

3. Set the Custom Object as the Target Object.

4. Set the Cardinality to 1: M.

5. Click Save and Close.

After defining the relationship between the new object and the change order object, add the object as a new tab on change orders. Here’s how:

1. Navigate to Standard Objects > Change Orders > Pages. Select the page layout that you've created.

2. In Details Layout <page_name>, in the Subtabs Region, click Add icon to create a new tab.

3. Select Related Object and click Next.

4. Select the related object as the Data Object.

5. Click Save and Close.

Create Context Link

Here’s how you create a context link:

1. Navigate to Standard Objects > Change Orders > Pages. Select the page layout that you've created.

2. In Details Layout <page_name>, in the Subtabs Region, click the Add tab icon to create a new tab.

3. Select Context link and click Next.

4. Select the Data Object.

5. Define the search criteria.

6. Select fields for the summary table.

7. Click Save and Close.

Assign Mashup Content

Here’s how you assign mashup content:

1. Select the Mashup Content node in the Common Setup pane to register a web application.

2. On the Register Web Application page, enter the URL of the page you want to display on your new tab.

3. Navigate to Standard Objects > Change Orders > Pages. Select the page layout that you've created.

4. In Details Layout <page_name>, in the Subtabs Region, click the Add tab icon to create a new tab.

5. Select Mashup Content and click Next to add the new tab to the change order page.

6. Click the button next to your web application.

   The web application page is rendered within your new tab.

7. Click Insert.
8. Click Save and Close.
