Tabs

The Tabs web part enables you to quickly and easily add in-page dynamic tabbed navigation to groups of web part pages based on data entered into the Report - Tabs list.

This enables you to have extra navigation without having to clutter up the Quick Launch. This can be very useful if you have multiple web part pages with a common grouping (called a Page Group in the Tabs list), for example Work reports. As with the Top Link bar, the currently selected tab is bolded to aid navigation.

Note:

The titles, grouping, order and URLs of the individual tabs are specified in the Report - Tabs list.

The appearance of the Tabs is based on the currently selected Site Theme. If you select a new Site Theme, the appearance of the tabs will automatically update. For more information on SharePoint Site themes, please consult the SharePoint documentation.
