Create an Empty Index Page
The instructions on this page detail how to create an empty Index Page that is not linked to any Object Type.
You might want to do this if you are creating some of the more complex page types, such as Cluster Bubble Charts and so on.
Once you have created the page, you can then add an Object Type node, a Tab Controller, or both, depending on what the behavior you plan to use requires.
