I have a dashboard with a ‘Main’ tab (summary data) and then several other tabs that contain drill down data from the main tab. I know that I can go back to the main tab from all other tabs, but can I set up navigation that would allow the end user to navigate to any tab in the dashboard from anywhere in the dashboard? Something along the lines of a drop down menu with the option to choose one of the following:
Go to Summary tab
Go to Tab 1
Go to Tab 2
etc.
I would want to do this for every tab in my dashboard.
Tab Set is a component under containers. Drag it to your canvas. Drag canvas containers into it to be your tabs.
To set which tab is active, go to the Behavior section of the tab set properties, and the Common tab. The first thing is Item (By Position). Link that to a cell. Set the cell to the number of the tab you want to be active.
Okay, so basically I start with the tab component and create four tabs (the number of tabs I currently have). I then have to drop each container for my different tabs onto the corresponding tab of my tab component? And will I still have the ‘drill down’ capability from my summary tab to my detailed data tabs?
Your drill down probably won’t work quite the same way, assuming that you make it work through some sort of dynamic visibility. Instead of triggering each container to become visible, you’ll need to trigger the tab pages to become active by setting the value for the tab set.
