Tab definition

Organize form fields that belong together into a tab. This makes filling the form straightforward and helps the user focus on one thing at a time. You can define a tab only inside a form definition . Tabs are displayed in the order which you define them.

  Each form requires  at least one tab. You cannot add fields without a tab.
