Tab Order	Click this button to define the order in which the fields and controls can be tabbed through on the parent table of the workspace or script, using the keyboard Tab key. You can manually specify the tab order value for each item or you can assign the tab order automatically.
Set Parent Table’s Tab Indexes from Top to Bottom	Select this option to automatically assign tab order values for all items. When you select this option, the tab ordering will start with the upper left item on the parent table, proceed down the column, then continue at the top of the next column, ending with the item at the lower right. This selection will reset any numerical ordering that has been defined using the Value property.
Set Parent Table’s Tab Indexes from Left to Right	Select this option to automatically assign tab order values for all items. When you select this option, the tab ordering will start with the upper left item on the parent table, proceed across the row, then continue at the left of the next row, ending with the item at the lower right. This selection will reset any numerical ordering that has been defined using the Value property.
Value	Enter a value in the property to customize the order in which fields and controls can be tabbed through on the workspace or script. The first field or control is 0, and each subsequent press of the Tab key steps through the items in numerical order. By specifying a numerical order, you can define whatever tab sequence you want. However, for ease of use, it is usually best to follow the order of the fields and controls as they are arranged on the design space.
