Tab Container

A layout component, the Tab Container is used to group other components within tabs that end users click; when opened, these tabs display features and data. Skuid components can be organized within specific tabs in the Tab Container.

A responsive component, the Tab Container adjusts to the size of the screen. When there is not enough horizontal space to display all the tabs, they are stacked vertically.

Note

Only one vertical tab can be open at a time.

Using the Tab Container Component

The Tab Container allows end users to switch between sets of data or visualizations with a click. Tabs can be used as guides for inputting or updating information, making applications more intuitive, and reducing time spent scrolling or clicking through an app.

Drag and drop the Tab Container onto the page, then equip it with tabs, and fill the tabs with components.

Add Tabs

  • Add tabs by clicking Add Tab on the Tab Container.
    • The Tab Container defaults to one tab.
  • Remove tabs by clicking on the tab, then clicking Remove Tab.
  • Reposition tabs by clicking and dragging them left or right to the desired location in the set.

Add Components to Tabs

  • Add components by clicking and dragging desired components into a tab within the Tab Container. Component properties can then be modified as usual to adjust appearance and behavior.

Note

Adding a Tab Container component to a tab will create a set of subtabs.
