Tabs

A module is made up of a number of tabs (pages), each one holding different details. A page is accessed by selecting a tab in the Tabs bar. Tabs only display when a single record is open in Details View.

The Tabs bar displays at the bottom of an EMu module window, just above the Status bar:

Note: Tabs can also be accessed from the Tabs menu.

Various Tabs Registry entries determine the number, type and order of tabs that display in a module for each user / group:

• The Tabs|Default Registry entry specifies which tabs in a module to display for a user / group by default.
• The Tabs Registry entry specifies which tabs to display / hide dynamically based on a value selected in a column (see Tab switching, Tabs Registry entry (Tab Switching)).

Two Registry entries specify the order in which tabs display in a module depending on the mode (Display, New and Edit or Search):

• Insert Tab Order Registry entry

• Query Tab Order Registry entry

Note: If a Tabs|Default Registry entry lists a tab which is not included in an Insert / Query Tab Order Registry entry, the tab will still be displayed but after the ordered tabs.
If Insert / Query Tab Order Registry entries are not defined for users / groups for a module, tabs will display in an order determined by the EMu developer.

Any number of tab orders can be defined for a user / group in each module. Each entry has a different name. Insert Tab Order Selected and Query Tab Order Selected Registry entries specify which Insert Tab Order and Query Tab Order Registry entries are active for a user / group.
