Custom Child Tabs

Custom Child Tabs can be added to a subject area.

These are shown in the same tab panel as One:Many and Many:Many children tabs. They are configured using the externalLinkChild element.

Custom Child Tabs with type externalLinkChild are configured to display the content of an HTML page requested from an external URL. Here is an example of the externalLinkChild definition:

<subjectArea name="Organization" displayName="Organization">
      <primaryObject hmEntityTypeUid="Organization">
         <subTypeQualifier columnUid="C_PARTY|PARTY_TYPE" filterValue="Organization"/>
         <layout columnsNum="3">
               <column columnUid="C_PARTY|ORGANIZATION_NAME" editStyle="FIELD" required="true"/>
         </layout>
      </primaryObject>
      <externalLinkChild name="org_name_bing_search_child" displayName="Bing Search">
         <externalLink name="org_name_bing_search_action_link" type="IFRAME" 
            url="http://www.bing.com/search">
            <param name="q" bddParamName="C_PARTY|ORGANIZATION_NAME"/>
         			   <param name="hl" staticValue="en"/>
         </externalLink>
      </externalLinkChild>
   </subjectArea>
