Step 4
Update the tab objects according to need or purpose:
a) To ADD tabs:
- Add another tab by typing in a tab object within the brackets under
the <#assign TabMeta ={…}> tag.
- Separate each tab object with a comma.
- Ensure correct syntax is still in place.
b) To EDIT tabs:
- Select and highlight the object tabs to be updated.
- Update the name of the tab.
- Ensure correct syntax is still in place.
c) To REMOVE tabs:
- Select and highlight the object tabs.
- Delete the tabs.

As best practice:
1) Always remove the tabs you don’t need.
2) Always copy tab objects from other package or file.

Step 5
Search for role_tabset.ftl file under supplier = "partner" folder. We will do the
same changes we did in Step 4 above with this file.

Step 6

under the <#assign TabMeta ={…}> tag.

The same Tab objects in details.ftl file will be

under the <#assign TabMeta ={…}> tag of the
role_tabset.ftl file

Step 7
Do the same changes performed in Step 4 with the tab objects in the
role_tabset.ftl file.

Step 8
Review the changes done.

4. Common Issues
The following issue can be encountered:
a. Debugger Error

Perform the following checks to troubleshoot the cause of the error:

- Check if syntax is correct.
- Check if use of brackets and tags are correct.
- Ensure cache is cleared before reloading the Supplier page.

An alternative option is to rollback the changes made using “Replace

with”>”Head Revisions” then redo the code changes.
