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 [[CategoryUTA]] the '''Menu Bar''' will always be present at the top of the screen. The '''tabs''' present will vary depending on your system configuration: : [[Image:MenuBarTabs.png]]==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: : [[Image:NavBarTabs.png]] There can also be tabs on the '''Navigation Bar''' that hold [[Custom Fields]] that are part of the record being displayed * '''Sample Tab''' in the image above is a '''Navigation Bar Tab'''.  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: : [[Image:GlossaryTabName.png]]In the list view of the [[CategoryCustom Fields]] on the Settings page, any fields that are stored on tabs are clearly marked. : [[Image:Universal Tracking ApplicationListViewTabs.png]]==Custom Field Tabs=={{UseAsTab}}The '''Custom Field Tab''' will be displayed with the '''Field Name''' (or '''Caption''' if used). : [[CategoryImage:CFTs.png]]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 Fieldson Tabs==As explained above, [[Custom Fields]] can be stored on both '''Custom Field Tabs''' and '''Navigation Bar Tabs'''. The differences are described below... ===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. ==See Also==* [[Custom Field Type: Title Bar – Multiple Columns]]* [[Display as Tab|Displaying Level 2/3 Types as Tabs]]  [[Category:Deprecated]]
