    Hi,

    I have successfully setup iTop and have started to try and customise it to incorporate additional fields as per our requirements.

    I am using the UserRequest as the base class.

    I have managed to add extra fields quite easily, but there are a lot of them to add so would like to be able to put them on to a separate tab. For example, I would like to add a "Finance" tab immediately after the properties tab and add all of the related fields to that tab.

    Is this possible in iTop? I can't seem to find any examples or forum posts realted to this topic.

    Any help would be much apprecaited.

    Thanks
    Matt

    You can do it.
    You need to create a new class "Finance" and a linking class between UserRequest and Finance. Then you can add it to the view userRequest.
    You can make your own XML datamodel for that. You will find informations about customizations here : https://wiki.openitop.org/doku.php?id=2_2_0:customization:xml_reference. You can also take a look at the current datamodel to see how it can be done.

    Don't hesitate to ask questions I should be able to answer.

    Yes, its easy, you just need understand the datamodel XML tags and create your own extension, like dlp put above. follow the link. The iTop references its very useful for this.
