SCSM Custom Forms - Multiple tabs

Cody_Clawson

I am working on building a custom form for Cireson software assets using the authoring tool for service manager. I have successfully added a new tab with multiple fields. The problem I am having is adding a second custom tab. The authoring tool does not allow another tab item to be dropped onto the tab control.

I know this should be possible by editing the management pack in visual studio, but in my current position I do not have access to do that. I wanted to see if there was a way to get the authoring tool to allow adding multiple tabs to the software asset form.

I tested adding multiple tabs to the Incident and Software Asset form.

A trick with the Authoring Tool:
1. Click and hold on Tab Item
2. Drag your mouse straight down to the bottom of the tasks section
3. Drag your mouse to the left, under the center details pane window/passing the line between the tools pane and center details pane
4. Drag your mouse up to the area to add the tab

If you try to click and drag from right straight to the left, it does not work.

Let me know if this works. It should.

It took a lot of messing around but I finally managed to get it added. I think the issue was the tab control was being covered preventing me from dropping another tab item. I used the dragging technique as well as resizing the windows to get it to finally allow me to add the second tab.
