# How Do I Customize New List Elements?

When you use the + button on a grid or scroll you get a new, empty list element. If you want to customize the object, define a function in the TabMenu's user exit file named `initializeNewElement_<LIST_NAME>(newElement)`.

Example:

    			function initializeNewElement_ENRL_LOG(newElement) {
    			    newElement.set('ENRL_LOG_TYPE_FLG', 'USER');
    			    newElement.set('USER_INFO', parent.model.getValue('CURRENT_USER_INFO'));
    			}
