How to Create Custom Tabs Using the Form Generator

1 min read

The Form Generator customises which tabs appear on lead profiles and the order they appear in. This guide covers adding a new tab and reordering existing ones.

Before you begin

You need admin access. There are several form generators in FranConnect and they all behave in roughly the same way — this guide uses the Sales Form Generator as the example.

What the Form Generator does

The Sales Form Generator customises the appearance of tabs on lead profiles in the Sales module — the tabs shown below.
