Display Ribbon Tabs from a Partial CUIx File

When you load ribbon tabs from a partial CUIx file, you can use the Workspace

Behavior property to control how ribbon tabs that might share the same alias

in the main and partial CUIx files are handled. The Add Tab Only option

displays each ribbon tab that is loaded with a workspace as its own tab. While

Merge Tab Only displays the ribbon tabs from a partial CUIx file with those

that have a matching alias in the main CUIx file. The Merge or Add Tab option

merges the tab before a new tab is created on the ribbon.

To create a ribbon tab

1 Click Manage tab ➤ Customization panel ➤ User Interface.

2 In the Customize User Interface Editor, Customize tab, in the

Customizations In <file name> pane, click the plus sign (+) next to Ribbon

to expand it.

3 Right-click Tabs and click New Tab.

A new ribbon tab (named New Tab) is placed at the bottom of the Tabs

node.

4 Right-click New Tab. Click Rename. Enter a new name for the ribbon tab.

5 Select the new ribbon tab in the tree view, and update the Properties

pane:

■ In the Display Text box, enter a text string that will appear on the

ribbon tab.

■ In the Contextual Display Type box, specify how the ribbon tab should

be displayed on the ribbon when used with a contextual ribbon tab

state.

■ In the Default Display box, specify if the ribbon tab should be

displayed by default when the CUIx file is loaded as a partial

customization file.
