Tab

A Tab is used on Profile Forms to organize Child Forms in logical groupings. Tabs are added from a Form. See Profile Tabs for user documentation on tabs.

A Tab will only appear if the Form it belongs to has the has profile form checkbox checked.

If you add a Tab, then you'll also need to add a "Tab Strip" Profile Detail as well.

Uses

Here is what tabs look like to an end user:

Here is the Toolkit setup that created these tabs. You will see five Profile Details under the first tab; the last one appears conditionally with Visibility SQL depending on the trade show type, which is why you see only four child forms on the tab.

Controls

  • panel number - The order of the tabs from left to right (and top to bottom if there are enough).
  • panel caption - The text on the tab
  • Visibility SQL - Tabs have Visibility SQL. If you write a V-SQL command that returns no records, then the Tab and all its child forms (or other profile details) will be invisible to the User viewing it.
  • no display - A tab can be marked as no display indicating that it should not be shown by default, however, these tabs are available for users using the personalization feature when adding a new tab.
