Report - Tabs

The Report - Tabs list drives the Tabs from List web part. There is one Report - Tabs list included per web and it can drive as many groups of tabs as required. Every list item in the Report - Tabs list represents a tab.

Note:

The Report - Tabs list exists in all BrightWork templates. Whilst it is possible to create another instance of the list, there really is no need since the list can drive as many groups of tabs as required.

The Tabs from Lists web part updates dynamically, i.e. changes made in the Report - Tabs list will show up in the relevant Tabs from Lists web part once the page is refreshed. You should therefore make any changes to the Report - Tabs list with care.

To add or edit an item in the tabs list:

  1. Click All Site Content.

  2. Click Tabs.

  3. Click New to create a new item.

    or

    Select Edit Item from an existing item.

    or

    Select Actions | Edit in Datasheet to use the Datasheet.

  4. Enter a Title for the tab.

    Note:

    You should try and use a title that approximates to the actual title and/or content of the page being linked to.

  1. Specify a Page Group.

    Note:

    Ensure you use the correct spelling or a new group will be created.

  1. Specify the order you want the item placed in the Page Group.

  2. Enter a Tooltip.

  3. Enter a Page URL.

    Note:

    For tabs that do not span sites, you do not have to specify the full URL - use ~site/ at the start of the URL. e.g. ~site/brightwork pages/page1.aspx

    For tabs that span sites in a site collection, you do not have to specify the full URL - use ~sitecollection/ at the start of the URL, e.g. ~sitecollection/projects/myProject/brightwork pages/page1.aspx

    For tabs that span site collections, you must use the full URL, e.g. http://myserver/sites/mysitecollection/Projects/my site/brightwork pages/page1.aspx

  1. Click Save if using the list interface.

    or

    Click Actions | Show in Standard View if you are using the Datasheet.
