The Software Development Kit generator creates the tab menu using a specific template that is defined in the template meta-data. The tab menu's template is maintained from the UI Program Components Object View.

The generated tab menu resides in a certain physical directory in the server's file system. Location, the abstract name that represents the actual location of the tab menu, is entered in the UI Program Components Object View. The actual location information and the abstract name are maintained from the Locations Object View.

Tab menus may have one or more program variables that control its behavior and/or appearance. These variables are maintained from the Program Variable Collection of the UI Program Components Object View.
