Operation Steps¶

[1] Creating a new tab¶

You can create a new tab. There is no limit on the number of tabs you can create.

1. Click the "Create new tab" button.
2. Enter the Name Displayed and click the "Add" button.
3. The tab you created is added at the right end of the existing tabs (to the left of the "Change history index" tab).

When the number of tabs grows and the display no longer fits the window width, a horizontal scroll bar is shown below the tabs.
Use the horizontal scroll bar when you want to show a hidden tab or to use the create new tab button.

The maximum display width of a single tab is 300 pixels.
A tab name that does not fit in this width is abbreviated as follows.

• On the record edit screen, the tab name is displayed without being abbreviated. If you give a tab a name that is too long, the display can look cut off when you narrow the window width.

[2] Reordering the tabs¶

Tabs with a tab handle can be reordered by dragging and dropping.

• They cannot be moved to the left of the "General" tab.
• The "General" tab cannot be moved.
