The edit panel section defines the fields and the layout of the edit metadata panel on the given main tab (typically in the right expander).

There are two steps to accomplish here:

1.Create the edit panel section.

2.Add the edit panel section to the <ObjectUIGroup Name="Edit"> in the <ObjectUIGroups>.

hmtoggle_plus1Create the edit panel section

Create the edit panel section in the xxx_Config.xml file (where xxx may be Ted4, Fred4, Shell4 or Edadmin4), the same file you were editing in the step Creating a base query section in xxx_Config.xml file.

The text in blue is free text, but referenced elsewhere, which means you can follow our indications, or specify what you want, but be coherent, while the text in red is related to specific tab, and it has to be customized to keep the naming coherent.

In this example, we're showing the EditContact.Panel for the contact object.

    <objectUI name="EditContact.Panel"

       useAttributesOrder="true">

      <attribute name="nameTitle">

        <ui mode="Normal"/>

      </attribute>

      <attribute name="firstName">

        <ui mode="Normal"/>

      </attribute>

      <attribute name="middleName">

        <ui mode="Normal"/>

      </attribute>

      <default mode="Hidden"/>

    </objectUI>
hmtoggle_plus1Add the edit panel section to the <ObjectUIGroup Name="Edit"> in the <ObjectUIGroups>

Add the edit panel section in the xxx_Config.xml file (where xxx may be Ted4, Fred4, Shell4 or Edadmin4), the same file you were editing above.

The text in blue is referenced in the <objectUI name="EditContact.Panel".

In this example, we're showing adding of the EditContact for the contact object.

    <ObjectUIGroup Name="Edit">

      <ObjectUI Name="EditTxt" ObjectTypeName="txt"/>

      <ObjectUI Name="EditBody" ObjectTypeName="body"/>

      <ObjectUI Name="editClientSpec" ObjectTypeName="clientSpec"/>

      <ObjectUI Name="EditHead" ObjectTypeName="head"/>

      <ObjectUI Name="EditPhotoCaption" ObjectTypeName="photoCaption"/>

      <ObjectUI Name="EditUrlCaption" ObjectTypeName="urlCaption"/>

      <ObjectUI Name="EditUrl" ObjectTypeName="url"/>

      <ObjectUI Name="EditArticle" ObjectTypeName="article"/>

      <ObjectUI Name="editPubDest" ObjectTypeName="pubDest"/>

      <ObjectUI Name="EditEvent" ObjectTypeName="event"/>

      <ObjectUI Name="EditTask" ObjectTypeName="task"/>

      <ObjectUI Name="EditContact" ObjectTypeName="contact"/>

    </ObjectUIGroup>
