Customise Tab

You can customise the Custom tab from Navigator > Maintain > [Module] > [Masterfile] > Custom tab > Right-click > Customise.

You can edit and set values for component properties to adjust their appearance and behaviour. Properties associated with the selected component will appear.

Components can be set to Read Only. Note that this applies only at the form level. Component values can still be changed at the data level.

To edit the Custom tab name, find the formname.tabCustom component in the component drop-down list, and change the Tab Caption.

You can create tabs within the custom tab to organise your custom fields. To create a tab, select a field component to be included on the tab. Set the Tab Name for the field to the name you want to give the new tab.

	Load `(Ctrl+L)`	You can load a customisation saved for a User, User Group, or a global customisation saved for All Users. Save, maintain, or use it as the basis for another customisation, (Permission dependent). If an option is unavailable, no customisation is saved for the User or User Group.
	Delete `(Ctrl+D)`	To delete a customisation, select a customisation from the drop-down. If an option is unavailable, no customisation is saved for the User or User Group.
	Apply	Closes the window and applies changes without saving. To save changes, re-open, click Save.
	Restore Defaults `(Alt+R)`	Restore the default field settings.
	Save	Select the User or User Group, or Global from the drop-down. List is ordered as follows: Global; Current User; Users or Groups with saved customisations; other Groups and Roles; other Users.
	Close	Closes the window without applying changes.
	Apply and Save`(F9)`	Save a customisation for a User or User Group, or globally for All Users who do not have a customisation saved for a User or User Group, closes the window and applies the changes. Select the User or User Group, or Global from the drop-down. List is ordered as follows: Global; Current User; Users or Groups with saved customisations; other Groups and Roles; other Users.

Customise Tab Context Menu

To access the Form Designer Context Menu, right-click in the Form Designer design window. Options available in the context menu are:

	Bring To Front	Bring the component(s) to the front, in front of other components.
	Send To Back	Send the component(s) to the back, behind other components.
	Align...	Available when more than one component is selected. Opens the Alignment window to align the selected components to each other.
	Select All (`Ctrl+A`)	Select all components on the form.
	Move...	Opens the Move Components window to move the component(s) by a set amount.

Note: Forms with a Custom tab have a scripted LoadCustomisation(UserCode: String) method which allows customisation saved for a User, Group or Role to be loaded. e.g. to have a field customised as Read Only in the UI but accessible during a form script event.
