When you are within a UTA the Menu Bar will always be present at the top of the screen. The tabs present will vary depending on your system configuration:
When you are viewing a Level 1, 2 or 3 record you will see the Navigation Bar. Again, the tabs present will vary depending on your system configuration:

In the list view of the Custom Fields on the Settings page any fields that are stored on tabs are clearly marked.
Custom Field Tabs
Custom Field tabs are created by selecting the Use as Tab setting on the Title Bar - Multiple Columns Custom Field.
All fields stored on all the Custom Field Tabs are loaded when the page loads.
