When working within the [[Applications]] that are part of [[SmartSimple]], '''Tabs''' are often used as the method of navigation between different modules and levels. <br/>
Some of the '''Tab''' menus have sub-menus below them with another selection of '''Tabs''', particularly when working in a [[Universal Tracking Application]].

==Menu Bar Tabs==
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:

==Navigation Bar Tabs==
When you are viewing a Level 1, 2 or 3 record you will see the '''Navigation Bar'''. Most of the tabs on the Navigation Bar are pre-defined within [[SmartSimple]], and are either enabled or disabled by the System Configuration:

There can also be tabs on the '''Navigation Bar''' that hold [[Custom Fields]] that are part of the record being displayed
These tabs are created by entering the desired name of the tab in the '''Tab Name''' section of the [[Custom Field]](s) you wish to have on the tab:

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==
{{UseAsTab}}
The '''Custom Field Tab''' will be displayed with the '''Field Name''' (or '''Caption''' if used).

If you tick '''Use As Tab''' <u>and</u> fill in a Tab Name then you will create a '''Custom Field Tab''' on a '''Navigation Bar Tab'''.
===Custom Field Tabs vs. Navigation Bar Tabs===
'''Page Loading:'''
* All custom fields stored on all '''Custom Field Tabs''' are loaded when the page loads.
* Custom fields stored on '''Navigation Bar Tabs''' are not loaded until the relevant tab is selected.
'''Saving:'''
* '''Custom Field Tabs''': you can switch between them without saving. You must save the entire page, which saves all Custom Field Tabs at the same time.
* '''Navigation Bar Tabs''': you must save the current page prior to switching to a different Navigation Bar Tab.
