New container on config tab for new documents

I'm trying to find a way to add a new container for new documents so that a user can add a title for the main box rather than having to use TV so it's all on 1 page for the main section rather than having to go to different tabs.

Please see mock up in below which will hopefully explaining what i'm trying to do better.



Thanks

Create the tv, then use Form Customization (under Security) to move the tv into the main section tab. The instructions and video on this page should help: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Customizing+the+Manager

1. MODX MANAGER: Menu >> Security >> Form Customization
2. Click "Create New Profile": enter name and set "activate". OK.
3. Right-click the new entry, select "Edit"
4. Click "Create New Set": select action "update" (or "create" if your users shall be able to create own pages). OK.
5. Right-click the new entry, select "Edit"
6. Select the tab "Template Variables", find the TV you want to shift and enter "modx-resource-settings" in the column "TAB" (the names of the available tabs are found in the tab (tata!) "Tab". But you cannot copy/paste them and have to remember them and type manually. This sucks a little ;-)
7. Save all the stuff, enjoy and say out loud "Whow! MODX is awesome!". Repeat as many time as you like.

Thanks all for the responses ! Allot easier than i thought it was going to be.

The only issue if tidiness now. The box is on the tab, but it's not all aligned like the other boxes. The box seems longer than the rest to slightly below the text. Not a major problem. Just better to look nicer.
