A set of **Tabs** is a type of [[Form|form]] in WorkXpress. The purpose of tabs is to contain and organize [[Form|forms]] into tabs, only one of whose content is displayed at a time. Tab options can be generated either by a list of static options or by a query of records in the database. Also, there are six options for interface style: standard tabs, ribbon options, left-hand tabs, drop-down selection options, type-to-select options, and slideshow. | A set of **Tabs** is a type of [[Form|form]] in WorkXpress.
