Problem
I want to add another tab on the top menu bar on my WebTrac site
Solution
To add customizable tabs for your WebTrac Menu bar and link them to the desired program you first need to go to the WebTrac Menu Management in RecTrac and find the "WebTrac_NextGenPrimary" menu that is linked to the same menu design linked to the WWW user.
Once selected click Change. To add a new blank tab, look for the tab in the Available Fields column called Field Type: Tab. Open that tab and there should be a Generic_MenuTab field there. Click and drag that field to the Fields On Screen column and drop it in the desired location when you see a green square.
Highlight the field and click on Advanced Parameters. Then update the Button Program and Button Params fields to the search program and module parameters desired. Click Save to save the parameter changes.
Click Done to save the new menu changes and refresh your WebTrac page. The new tab should now appear.
