Right now when i click on Create new SMS Rule button i get blank page like this:

![enter image description here][3]

What i want to achieve is:

  1. I want to display in the blank page shown above 3 input fields (Receiver, Phone, Date) in which i can insert data.
  2. I want to have Save button and i hit it. The data entered in the 3 fields i want to be saved in the MySQL table VivasIndustries_SmsNotification.

Why i receive a blank page when i click on Create new SMS Rule and how can i make what i want in the two points above?

Thanks in advance!
