At the top right of every Browse and Edit Form, there is an Options icon.
Click it and select "Form Object List".

In the following Browse Form select the object you'd like to delete.

To add a new object, click on "Add" in the Browse Form or clone an existing object and enter a new id etc. and hit "save".

ajay,

Another way of creating another Object is to Clone an Object that is already on the Form.

That way some of the properties (like the Form and Tab) will already be filled in and you can just make the changes you need and click Save.

Remember you must add/delete the field on database manually before (or after) to follow the steps above.
In my case I was thinking it would add the field on database, then, after fill the field, I discovered it must be added manually.

You are right.

The reason why nuBuilder does not create the column automatically for you is that you may not want to store every object (e.g. Buttons, HTML objects etc.) in your db table.
