To add page in employee after personal information tab you need to inherit the employee form view in xml like, 

 <record id="view_employee_form" model="ir.ui.view">
   	<field name="name">hr.employee.form</field>
    <field name="model">hr.employee</field>
    <field name="inherit_id" ref="view_employee_form"/>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
	    <xpath expr="//page[@string='Personal Information']" position='after'>
	    	<page string='My new tab'>
	    		
	    	</page>
	    </xpath>
    </field>
</record>

hello Math

Here for you I'm adding new tab in "Quotations" of "sale" module,this is similar to your requirement

Example.py

from openerp import fields, models, api, _

class class_name(models.Model):

    _inherit = 'sale.order'
    <fields name="..."/>

Example.xml

<record id="view_sale_order_tree" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">view.sale.order.tree</field>
    <field name="model">sale.order</field>
    <field name="inherit_id" ref="sale.view_order_form"/>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">

    <xpath expr="//page[@string='Other Information']" position="after">
        <page string="My_New_Tab">
            <field name='My_new_fields'/>
        </page>
    </xpath>

    </field>
</record>

In form view, inside <notebook> tag you can add as many pages(TAB) by this syntax

 <notebook>
     <page string="Your Tab1">
         <field name="..."/>
     </page>  
     <page string="Your Tab2">
         <field name="..."/>
     </page>   
 </notebook>

You need to add a new page in the notebook in the View. Are you creating an own Addon/Module to alter the partner page?

In case of you do please take a look on that: You need to inherit from the partner view in maybe partner_view.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<openerp>
  <data>
    <!--
    Partners Extension
  -->

    <record id="view_partner_property_form" model="ir.ui.view">
        <field name="name">res.partner.stock.property.form.inherit</field>
        <field name="model">res.partner</field>
        <field name="inherit_id" ref="product.view_partner_property_form"/>
        <field name="arch" type="xml">
            <notebook position="inside">
                <page string="My New Tab">
                    <field name="..."/>
                </page>
            </notebook>
        </field>
    </record>

  </data>
</openerp>

What I do without inherit view (inherit the module) <!-- ============== student================= --> <!-- 1st part of the sim_view start--> <record model="ir.ui.view" id="student_form"> <field name="name">Student</field> <field name="model">sim77.student</field> <field name="type">form</field> <field name="arch" type="xml"> <form string="Student"> <field name="name"/> <field name="student_name"/>

<field name="gender"/> <field name="contract_id"/> </form> </field> </record> <!-- 1st part of the sim_view end--> can you help ? where I put code of new page?

Then add a notebook to your view. That looks exactly as above code just without the "inherit_id" tag nor the position attribute in <notebook>. Notebook adds the Space for your Tabs to the form.

You put the code of the new File in a separate .xml file. Then you need to add the .xml in your __openerp__.py under "update_xml". Just take a look to other addons therefor.

Great, this works fine for me. I have a one2many field in the partner model that creates a relationship with custom model. How can I add a "Create" button to the tab so that it pop up the view of the custom model?
