About Flexible Page Tabs

Before you can include a Flexible Page App Page in the Salesforce1 navigation menu, you must create a custom tab for it.

Flexible Page tabs don’t work like other custom tabs in Salesforce. Once created, they don’t show up on the All Tabs page when you click the plus icon () that appears to the right of your current tabs. Flexible Page tabs also don’t show up in the Available Tabs list when you customize the tabs for your apps. Flexible Page tabs only facilitate inclusion of the Flexible Page in the Salesforce1 navigation menu.

You can define a Flexible Page tab in XML and deploy it like you would any other custom tab, but we’re going to do it in the full Salesforce site to illustrate the Flexible Page tab’s unique qualities.
