Choose a Tab ID for your CUSTOM tab. This is not the label, but a unique ID that will be used internally to identify your tab. For this example, we will use MyCustomTab for the Tab ID. You cannot use the following for the Tab ID:
-
Custom
-
CMDB
-
Service
-
Alerts
-
Components
Create a navigation accordion view for your tab in the RTViewCentral/projects/rtview-server directory:

Open mycustomtab_acc.rtv in the Display Builder:
1. runb -propfilter:ConfigClient -propfilter:AlertClient mycustomtab_acc.rtv.
2. Modify the Custom Views label above the navigation accordion.
3. Select the navigation accordion and edit the selectedValue property. Change the Filter value to your Tab ID (MyCustomTab in this example).

5. Save your display and exit the Display Builder.
