I'm using Sitecore 9.1.1,

I Followed this Link to create a custom facet to each contact and its added successfully to xDB, I don't have a screenshot of it but its like the below image:

enter image description here

and this is my JSON file if it would help

  {
  "Name": "AccountModel",
  "Version": "0.1",
  "References": [
    {
      "Name": "XConnect",
      "Version": "1.0"
    },
    {
      "Name": "Sitecore.XConnect.Collection.Model",
      "Version": "9.0"
    }
  ],
  "Types": {
    "project.Models.AccountInformation": {
      "Type": "Facet",
      "BaseType": "Sitecore.XConnect.Facet",
      "ClrType": "project.Models.AccountInformation, project, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null",
      "Properties": {
        "username": {
          "Type": "String"
        },
        "formattedName": {
          "Type": "String"
        },
        "honorificPrefix": {
          "Type": "String"
        },
        "entitlements": {
          "Type": "String"
        },
        "x509Certificates": {
          "Type": "String"
        },
        "schemas": {
          "Type": "String"
        },
        "id": {
          "Type": "String"
        },
        "externalId": {
          "Type": "String"
        },
        "employeeNumber": {
          "Type": "String"
        },
        "costCenter": {
          "Type": "String"
        },
        "isDeleted": {
          "Type": "Boolean"
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "Facets": [
    {
      "Target": "Contact",
      "Name": "AccountInformation",
      "Type": "project.Models.AccountInformation"
    }
  ]
}

What I tried to do next is create a custom tab in Experience Profile similar to "Details" tab and add the values of this Custom Facets, I followed the following links: first, second, third and many others.

The part where I get stuck in is when I suppose to add the fields, I don't know where to get the Ids added in the DataSource facets like in the "Details" tab in below photo:

enter image description here

am I suppose to add my custom facets to core database and take the Ids of them and if so how can I connect them with my JSON file and the xDB field.

or am doing it wrong. I don't know I got pretty lost in this part can you please advice me.

    You should have a look at the EP Express Tab as @ChrisAuer mentions in his blog post. We use it for all of our project and it makes it really easy to add an additional tab.

These datasource IDs are just ids of common UI controls like Text or AdvancedExpander that are used to render corresponding blocks for tab (there items are children items of tab-item (or items from /sitecore/client/Applications/ExperienceProfile/Common/System/Texts).

enter image description here

Here is a good article about how to create custom tab in SPEAK for Experience Profile https://jonathanrobbins.co.uk/2016/04/19/extending-sitecore-experience-profile-speak-app/comment-page-1/.

I have faced the same issue and raised it on Sitecore StackExchange.

Display custom facets in Sitecore Experience Profile version 9 or later

The part where you stuck is a core database part. You need to perform all the operation in the core database, but for that, you have to use Sitecore Rocks.

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=JakobChristensen.SitecoreRocks

After that, you can create renderings and assign/get Ids.

Follow the below article, it helps me lot to create rendering and ids.
