The Tab Manager module allows administrative users to add, edit, remove, and sort all types of tabs.

This module functions outside the realm of the normal permissions hierarchy. It can be viewed by any user with membership in Site Administrators, Security Administrators, or Dashboard Management site-level roles with no regard to permissions assigned to the tab on which the module is placed. For more information on the roles referenced in this section please see the role based security topic. Administrative users can configure additional module settings by clicking the button.

Adding New Tabs

To add a new tab first select the type of tab in the Type drop down list and the level at which the tab is to be created in the Level drop down list and supply a name for the tab in the Name text box. Then click the button to create the new tab. By default, any new tabs you create will have Full Control granted to members of Site Administrators role. If the tab created is a dashboard level tab it will additionally have Full Control granted to members of Dashboard Admin and will have Read permissions assigned to members of Dashboard Access.

Editing Existing Tabs

To edit an existing tab you can either navigate to the tab and click the button on the tab designer toolbar or use the Tab Manager module to search for and edit tab details by pressing the same edit button. See the tab designer topic for tab attribute details.

Sorting Tabs

To sort tabs you must first select the type of tab in the Type drop down list and the level at which the tab is to be created in the Level drop down list to view a list of all sibling tabs. From this point you can sort all tabs alphabetically by pressing the AZ button or select the check box in from of a given tab and use the blue placement arrows to move the tab up or down relative to the current position.
