Tabs

Tabs are used for organizing information by showing one section while hiding other related sections at the same time.

Usage

Tabs can be oriented either horizontally or vertically.

Vertical tabs on a case should represent sections of critical data, relevant discussions, unique views of data, or fundamentally linked case relationships such as child cases and dependencies. Additionally, they may also show key bits of metadata around the internal content if desired, such as counts of items or key performance indicators.

Avoid nesting tabs whenever possible.

Limit the number of tabs to 7 or less to avoid information overload.

Tab 1

Tab 1.1
