+ | ====== Application Tabs ====== | ||
+ | At the top of each page of a WorkXpress application has an area reserved for navigational application tabs. These tabs are optional, but are helpful when producing a large application with distinct differentiation between departments, or for small applications where one tab per [[Table|table]] is desired. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here is an example of an application with application tabs enabled: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{ ::application_tabs.png?direct |}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | Configure the application tabs by turning on the [[Presentation Layer|presentation layer]] and clicking the blue "Tabs" icon in the top left corner of any application. Each tab gets it's own row in the "Application Tab Settings" list. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Tab Title ===== | ||
+ | Enter the displayed name of this tab. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Tab's Landing Page ===== | ||
+ | This page will load anytime the corresponding tab is clicked on, including: First, the user is in a different tab and clicks on this tab. Second, the user is deep within this tab and then clicks on this tab. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Security Map ===== | ||
+ | Define a search. If the search returns a result, the tab will be shown. A typical search might be "Find any 'group member' relationship between current user and the supervisor group..." | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Tab Order ===== | ||
+ | Tabs are displayed in order (least to greatest) based on the number entered here. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The setting on [[Form Type - Page|page form]]'s called [[Form Setting - Associated Tab|Associated Tab]] controls which tab appears highlighted when that page is loaded. | ||
