Creating and naming a tab

Tabs are the first level of organization for the content of the InForm Portal application. You might decide to designate one tab for each of the following purposes:

• White papers
• Key contacts
• News

A Sponsor user can restrict the number of tabs that appear in any given InForm Portal application. The InForm Portal application allows a maximum of 13 activated tabs, including the Admin tab, for each product locale.

You can organize the contents of a tab using sections. For example, you might group white papers based on their categories of information. For more information, see Adding a section to a tab.

1. In the InForm Portal application, select the Admin tab.
2. In the Add New Records section, click Tabs.

   A list of the existing tabs appears, followed by the New Tab definition box.

3. Complete the following fields:
   • New Tab—Name to appear on the tab.
   • Sponsor Tab—Allow only sponsor users to see this tab.
   • Description—Brief description of the contents of the tab.
4. Click Submit.
5. To view the newly created tab, click Refresh.

   After you create a tab, the name of the tab appears on the Edit Tab page and on the list of tab names and can never be deleted. You can activate or deactivate the tab as necessary. The page associated with a tab name appears in the user interface only after you create content on the page.

Note: A user with the Add/Edit Tabs right can edit the default tab names. For more information, see Renaming a tab.
