Creating a Custom tab

Using the Configure Templates form, you can create Custom tabs for every role, symbol, and class. These are used to create header fields, extension table and parameter filters.

The @DFLT role provides the default configuration. When you add the Custom tab to this role, the tab is added to the other roles.

For example, if you modify a role-based template, such as RL_ADMIN. The RL_ADMIN role does not inherit the Extension tab from the @DFLT role.

You can create a Custom tab that is unique to a particular role, symbol, and class. To create a custom tab:

Select Configure > Configure Templates. The Role-Based Template Configuration screen is displayed.
