When you finish creating an object definition, the New Tab screen opens:
- Edit the Properties for the tab:

The Tabs section of the Setup Application screen contains a Show In column that displays the device types in which each tab appears:
- In the Add to Applications section, select the applications to which you want to add this tab.
- In the permissions table, select the roles and users you want to be able to view this tab.
- Click Save.
