# Customize tabs on the object detail screen

Each object detail screen consists of a set of tabs to organize related information, such as the standard **Overview**, **Line Items**, and **Notes** tabs, as well as any custom tabs you define. You can customize which tabs appear, in what order, how they’re labeled, and which users can access them. You can also create custom tabs to capture information specific to your business needs.

- [Add a custom tab](/main/docs/customize-tabs-on-the-object-detail-screen#add-a-custom-tab)

## Prerequisites

To customize tabs:

- [Enable the new UI](/main/docs/work-with-the-new-ui#enable-the-new-ui)
- Verify that you have the UI EXTENSIBILITY PERMISSION. For details on assigning permissions, read [Role management](/main/docs/role-management#define-permissions-for-a-role).

## Manage tab visibility

1. [Open the customization dialog from the object header section.](/main/docs/access-ui-customization-dialogs#from-the-object-header-section)
2. In the **Tabs** tab, turn on or off the switch next to the tab name.
3. Select **Publish**.

## Rearrange tabs

1. [Open the customization dialog from the object header section.](/main/docs/access-ui-customization-dialogs#from-the-object-header-section)
2. In the **Tabs** tab, drag the tab to the desired position to define where it appears in the object detail screen.
3. Select **Publish**.

## Add localized tab labels

1. [Open the customization dialog from the object header section.](/main/docs/access-ui-customization-dialogs#from-the-object-header-section)
2. In the **Tabs** tab, next to the tab name, select Edit.
3. Go to the **Localization** tab.
4. Select **+ Add Localized Label**.
5. From the **Language** dropdown field, select a language.
6. In the **Label** field, enter a button label.
7. Repeat Steps 4–6 for each language you need.

## Restrict tab visibility by UI profile

2. In the **Tabs** tab, next to the tab name, select Edit.
3. Go to the **Visibility** tab.
4. Select **+ Add Profile to Hide Tab From**.
5. Select the [UI profiles](/main/docs/ui-profile), then select **Add Profile**.

## Apply mass restrictions to tabs

You can hide several tabs at once for multiple [UI profiles](/main/docs/ui-profile). This helps you quickly control what each profile can see and interact with.

To apply mass restrictions:

1. [Open the customization dialog from the object header section.](/main/docs/access-ui-customization-dialogs#from-the-object-header-section)
2. In the **Tabs** tab, select **Mass Restrictions**, then select **+ Add Profiles for Mass Restrictions**.
3. Select one or multiple UI profiles, then select **Add Profile**.
4. Select **Next**.
5. In the **Hide** tab, select **+ Add**, then select the tabs to hide for the selected UI profiles. Select **Add**.
6. Select **Save**, then select **Publish**.

## Add a custom tab

Creating custom tabs allows you to organize additional information that’s specific to your business processes. This is useful when the standard tabs, such as Overview or Line Items, don’t fully cover the data or actions you need. Custom tabs help present relevant content in a structured way, improving usability and supporting more tailored workflows.

To add a custom tab:

1. [Open the customization dialog from the object header section.](/main/docs/access-ui-customization-dialogs#from-the-object-header-section)
2. In the **Tabs** tab, select **Add Tab**.
3. Enter a name for the tab, then select OK.
4. Select **Publish**.
5. [Add tab sections and fields.](/main/docs/customize-sections-and-fields-in-custom-tabs)

> [!NOTE]
> Tip
> 
> To display fields in a custom tab, you first need to create *sections*—containers that help group fields by purpose or function.
