Sorting tabs

Procedure

  1. To specify the order in which top-level tabs appear in a form, begin by selecting the form in the Navigation panel.
  2. While the form is selected, there is an action labeled Sort Tab on the form Wizard's Layout tab. The purpose of the Sort Tab action is to allow you to rearrange the order of top-level tabs.
  3. When you click the Sort Tab action, a list of the form's top-level tabs appears in the Properties panel.
  4. The top-level tabs in the list appear in the same order they will appear in the form. Click the arrow heads in the first column to move the tabs up or down in the list.
  5. Remember to save the form before you move on to something else, otherwise the modified tab order will be lost. Also remember to see what your tabs look like in the window that pops up when you click the Preview action. The preview window is a more accurate indication of what tabs will look like at runtime.
    Note: It is sometimes convenient to include the same record field in more than one tab. The Form Builder allows you to include the same field in multiple tabs. However, it will not allow you to have the same field on the same tab. If that occurs, you will not be able to publish the form. The Validate action can help you find duplicate fields.
