Tab Information

A couple pieces of information are used to identify tabs and make life easier on your users. Explanations are as follows;

  • Name
    • This is the name that appears in the clickable tab itself, the part that user’s click on to open the tab’s content.
  • Title
    • The title is displayed in a large font on the tab after a user has opened it. This doesn’t have to be the same as the tab name itself. For example, the tabs name could be “HICS”, while the tab’s title could be “Bravo County Hospitals”.
  • Subtitle
    • Subtitles are displayed under the title when viewing the tab. Given the previous example, an appropriate subtitle may be “Hospital Incident Command Structure”.
  • Date
    • The date is a user defined field.
