Select Layout body "**Form**" if you need some specific form to be shown. Choose [form](/components/forms.md)  and specify parameter(s) if necessary. For example:

{% endhint %}

Select Layout Body "**SObject**" to show current object standard details. You need to set Record ID (e.g., select {Case.Id} in the [merge field picker](/standard-kanban/tools/using-merge-field-picker.md) to specify ID of record represented by current card).

#### Tabs Configuration

Open "**Tabs Configuration**" subtab.  "**SObject**" tab is preset to show current object standard details.

Click "**Add tab**" button to open config dialog popup. Enter label and title in proper field, select icon using "**Icon Library**".  Configure "**Conditions**", CSS Styles for tab in generic (inactive) and active states if necessary.

Select  tab layout type in "**Layout**" field. Tab layouts are the same as described above, except the "**Standard**" one.

"**Standard**" layout type allows user to configure custom set of fields to display. Add fields under each other by adding rows to layout, set labels and values, rearrange rows, if necessary.
