Detail Tabs Navigation and Configuration

Overview

  • Easy navigation through a long list of detail tabs using tab list dropdown and integrated filter.

  • Changing the tab positions by drag and drop of the tabs.

  • Detail tab visibility configuration to hide detail tabs.

Tab list with filter

A dropdown button is situated in the top-left of the tab sheet for all the detail views. On clicking, it lists all the visible detail tabs in alphabetical order along with a filter to easily search and navigate to the required tab.

User can navigate through the tab list using the "UP" and "DOWN" arrow keys and close the dropdown by pressing "Esc".
