Using links to open tabs and sections

One of the actions that can trigger opening a new tab or new section is selecting a link to a UIM page. There are many different ways in the Cúram application to open a UIM page and many different contexts in which a UIM can be displayed.

A UIM page can be displayed in the following areas of an application:

  • A content area
  • A tab context panel
  • A tab smart panel
  • A modal dialog
  • A list dropdown panel

A UIM page in any of these contexts can define links to another UIM page. There are different types of links:

  • Page level actions menu (content area only)
  • Modal button bar (modal dialog only)
  • Buttons
  • Hyperlinked text
  • List actions menu

In addition to links on a UIM page, a UIM page can be opened via the following actions:

  • Selecting an entry in the tab actions menu
  • Selecting a link in the section shortcut panel
  • Selecting a navigation bar tab
  • Selecting a page group navigation bar entry

For more information on all the different types of action controls that can be defined in a UIM page, see the related link. For the purposes of this section, selecting a link will apply to any action that can open a new UIM page.
