page-param

The page-param element allows for multiple page parameters to be defined for a tab. Each page parameter defined maps to the name of a name-value pair that will be passed to all UIM pages that are opened from both the tab actions menu and the navigation bar.

Page parameters are also used to identify unique instances of a tab. For example, a tab is defined for a Person object. Two instances of this tab can be opened, one for James Smith and one for Linda Smith. The instances are uniquely identified by the page parameter, id, which has been defined for the tab. This id parameter maps to the unique id for the person and will be different for both James Smith and Linda Smith.

For more information on the behavior associated with opening tabs see Opening Tabs and Sections.
