Create a dashboard link to add a tabbed page as a link in the Enterprise Console menu. This page can have one or more forms (except list forms) with each form appearing in its own tab. You can also set this tabbed page as the home page.

To create a dashboard link

    Note:
    - By default, the menu order number will be one more than the highest menu order number entered for the links in the Navigation List.
    - The menu order number should be 0 or a positive integer.
    - The link with the lowest menu order number appears first in the menu followed by other links in the ascending order of their menu order number.
    - In case of links with the same menu order number, the last saved link takes precedence and appears before the other links with the same menu order number.
    - You must log out and log on to the Enterprise Console to see changes in the order of the menu items.

  4. In the Tab Order box, type a number to position the tab in the tabbed page.

  10. To add another tab, click Add Record.

    A new record appears.

    Note:
    - A minimum of 1 tab is required for the tabbed page.
    - A maximum of 10 tabs are supported by the tabbed page.
    - To delete a tab, click the Delete icon.
