Take a look at this. You need a `PersistentRecord` implementation and a settings page that extends `RecordActionTable`.

The SDK examples on GitHub are fantastic resources for this exact question. Primarily, the one you are looking for is [here](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples/tree/master/gateway-webpage).

You’ll notice that IA creates a “Settings Record” and a “Settings Page”  
What this means is that the Settings Record will be the data model of each record added to the gateway’s internal database while the Settings Page will render said data model. That said, it can be a bit confusing as the Settings Record hosts the structure that the page will follow.

You do not. If you use the examples and include the page in the gateway hook, it will render exactly as you would expect it to.
