__NOTOC__
This article provides instructions for adding nodes to the Administration Tab for r11.x releases.

== Step 1. Create list_xxx.htmpl Form ==
The list pages (aka search pages) display the content when your new node is selected. The naming of the list pages is crucial and must contain the name of your new object. For example, if you created a table called zYour_Object, your list file would be named list_zYour_Object.htmpl. The [[Web Screen Painter]] can be used to create your new list page or you can [[Media:Adding Nodes to Admin Tab.zip|click here]] to download sample forms.

== Step 2. Create detail_xxx.htmpl Form ==
The detail pages are essential for editing and creating new items, or view the details of existing items. The naming of the detail pages is essential as well. Table zYour_Object should have a detail page named detail_zYour_Object.htmpl. Again, the [[Web Screen Painter]] can be used to create your new detail page or you can [[Media:Adding Nodes to Admin Tab.zip|click here]] to download sample forms.

== Step 3. Create Reports ==
This step is option, but why not make the customization complete? These simple reports will allow you to print Summary and Detail Reports when viewing the list page. There are plenty of example in the system to reference or [[Media:Adding Nodes to Admin Tab.zip|click here]] to download some samples. Be sure to put your reports in the [[$NX_ROOT]]\site\mods\rpt directory.

== Step 4. Add Node ==
The final step is to add a node to the Administration Tab. Simply right-click on the location of your new node and select '''Create New Node'''. The syntax for the resource field will be pretty consistent for all custom nodes. <source lang="text">OP=SEARCH+FACTORY=zYour_Object+QBE.EQ.delete_flag=0</source>

Set the Access Views in coordination with your Access Type configurations.
