Add a New Hub

You can add user-defined hubs in Deltek using Screen Designer in Settings.

To add a new hub:

1. In the Navigation pane of the browser application, go to the Settings section and select Screen Designer.
2. On the title bar of the Screen Designer form click + New Hub. + New Hub displays only if you have the Accounting or the CRM Plus application activated.
3. On the Create Hub dialog box, enter the basic information for the new hub, such as the hub name and the standard tabs to add to it, and click Done. The new hub displays on the Screen Designer form. It is not saved until you click Save at the top of the actions and properties pane.

   In addition to the standard tabs that you selected on the Create Hub dialog box, an Overview tab is added to the hub. If you selected the Summary Panel with image check box on the Create Hub dialog box, the Overview tab is blank, and you can add fields to it or delete it. If you did not select the Summary Panel with image check box, the Overview tab contains a Number and Name field for entering the name and number for each new record that you add to the hub. You can delete the Overview tab if there are no fields on the tab.

4. Add tabs, fields, and grids to the new hub by clicking an action item in the actions and properties pane on the right side of the Screen Designer form.
5. Click Save at the top of the actions and properties pane to save the new hub.

You will see the new hub in the Navigation pane if your security role has access to all applications. New hubs are added below the standard hubs in the order that you create them.

In Settings > Security > Roles in the desktop application, give roles access to the new hub as appropriate.

You also see the new hub in the following places:

• In User Initiated Workflows in Settings > Workflows > User Initiated Workflows in the desktop application. You can set up workflows for the hub.
• In the Data Import utility in Utilities > Utilities > Data Import in the desktop application. If you have data from other software for the hub, you can import it into Deltek with this utility.
• In the Search and Replace utility in Utilities > Advanced Utilities > Search and Replace in the desktop application. Use this utility if you need to replace a field value from the hub throughout Deltek.
• In Reporting in the desktop application. The following standard reports are available for the new hub: Audit, Audit Detail, List, and Summary.
