Additional to lijith post:

In admin->Module Builder you find a tool that helps you to create new modules without any programming.

You create a package and a module inside the package. After you did all the configuring you need you can deploy the package and get your new module running in your installation. Look and feel is the same as with the existing modules.

In Module Builder you create new models from existing basic templates. Your choose which kind of module template fits best to your needs. After doing this you have a new module with several predefined fields (name, id, enter date, change date, etc.). You can add new fields as much as you like, place them on different views, create relations to other modules, etc. All you can do with Studio for existing modules too.

During deployment Module Builder creates the module in your system. The database gets new tables, code is written to the file system. After that you'll see a new tab for your new module and should be able to work with it.

-------------------------------------

So far regarding Module Builder.
From your first post I'm not sure if this is what you want to do. Module Builder creates a module that can be used from the normal sugar user. Is this what your meant or is "Customer Support" some kind of customer self service located on your web site? In that case you could create a php script located on a web server and shown in your web site and contact sugar using REST (or SOAP) web services to get the data in the system.

Just to complement to have a new page which you can freely design, beyond create a new module, you have to customize its view.[list | deatil | edit ].php files.

i did what exactly u said and now its working fine as i can see my basic created module with its fields name ..

but i want to show this module in the Tab as a new page now ..

how can i show this page now as a new tab option menu .. ?

First your module should be visible (Whether it was not done automatically you can do that from tabs manager under admin area).

Then maybe to accomplish what you want, is possible to customize the Menu.php file. This file could be created in root folder of your module. Then you can create several menu entries for your module and link each entry with a page you want to open.
