Yes, you need to set up the proper view actions. If you use an  
ATContentTypes base class, you'll get this for free, otherwise you need  
set the view actions like they are in ATContentTypes' base classes, e.g.

view -> string:${object_url}
edit -> string:${object_url}/edit
metadata -> string:${object_url}/properties
local_roles -> string:${object_url}/sharing

Then you need to set up method aliases (this is where CMFDynamicViewFTI  
gets invoked)

(Default) -> (dynamic view)
view -> (selected layout)
edit -> base_edit (or atct_edit if you're deriving from ATContentTypes)
properties -> base_metadata
sharing -> folder_localrole_form
