Specify the name of the UDM in the New UDM name textbox. Give it a name related to your application, so that it will be easy for you to recognize at a later point in time. UDM naming is case-sensitive and also cannot include embedded spaces or special characters.

The Action type specifies the type of action you expect the UDM to undertake. If you need to create a page that has to edit data or insert data, for example, specify the action type to be Editing/updating. If you only want to list (display) data, specify the action type as Search/retrieval.

The Response UDM is the UDM where you want your custom UDM page to be redirected to after performing its function. The option "Same as request UDM" will bring you back to the same (custom) page you are working with. You can choose one of the other UDMs listed instead. Or, you can specify your own URL as the default response UDM. Note that this navigation can be changed at the zDE.

Click on the Create button to create your custom UDM. You will now see the basic tree structure for your custom UDM created with the name of the UDM at ID 0 - the root ID. You will see that zeroCode automatically generates an ID for each node in a UDM.

On the right side of the inner frame, you will see two tabs - Details and Visuals. By default, the Details tab shows up for each node that you add. On this tab, you will see the details of each of the nodes that you add to the UDM. We will look at the Visuals tab later in this document.
