Create a Tab

Create tabs for the portlet page so you can group the information that you want to display on the page in meaningful ways. For example, the Team tab on the project page groups staff-related information; the Task tab groups all project tasks, and so on.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open Administration, and from Studio, click Portlet Pages.

    The portlet pages list page appears.

  2. Click the name of the portlet page.
  3. Click Tabs.
  4. Click New.
  5. Complete the requested information. The following fields require explanation:
    Content Source

    Specifies where the data that appears in a portlet or portlet page originates.

    Default: Customer

    Layout

    Specifies how portlets added to a page or a tab appear. The number of columns indicates the number of portlets for each row and the percentage of the page that is given to each portlet. The Row layout can have one to three portlets in a row with equal space provided for each portlet.

    Personalizable

    Specifies if a user can make personal changes to a page or a tab. Only the user who changes the page or tab sees the changes.

    Linkable

    Specifies if you want users to be able to link to the tab from another page. If you select this option, the Link Parameters tab activates and you can set up link parameters for the tab.

  6. Click Save and Return to create additional tabs.
