Creating Tabs

Tabs are an effective way to navigate users between pages of an application. You can create a tabbed application look by using parent tabs, standard tabs, and lists.

Application Builder includes two different types of tabs:

• Standard tabs

  An application having only one level of tabs uses a standard tab set. A standard tab set is associated with a specific page and page number. You can use standard tabs to link users to a specific page.

• Parent tabs

  A parent tab set functions as a container to hold a group of standard tabs. Parent tabs give users another level of navigation as well as a context (or sense of place) within the application. You can use parent tabs to link users to a specific URL associated with a specific page.
