Tab

The predefined Page setups contain a predefined set of tabs. Objects that you assign to a given Page setup will automatically be assigned to the first tab in the set, unless you specifically select a different one.

If an object has NOT been assigned to a specific tab, the first tab of the Page setup will be used as the object's default tab. So if you change the order of the tabs, all sub-objects that are not explicitly set to a tab will be moved to the new first tab.

If a default tab IS set for an object, it doesn't matter if the tabs change order. But if the default tab on an object is deleted, the object and sub-objects will be moved to the first tab.

Each new Page setup contains one tab by default. You can create new Tabs and then move your scorecard objects to different tabs, in order to make your web pages more readable. You can also create new tabs or edit existing ones in the predefined page setups.

To create a new Tab, right click the tab set where you want to place it and choose Add -> Tab.

Double-click a Tab to configure it.

Properties

General

Name - the name "Tab" is generated automatically but it may be changed
Description - an optional text describing the tab

Layout

Background - select a color or an image to be used by default as background

Audit

Modified by - the name of the last user to make changes to the object.
Last modified - the date and time when the object was last changed.
Created by - the name of the user who created the object.
Created - the date and time when the object was created.

Advanced

ID - a unique ID for the object.

By default, Corporater BMP assigns consecutive numbers to new objects.

You can change the ID to a value of choice that can include either letters or letter and number combinations.

The ID mustn't contain only numbers, include special characters such as ) ( . * } { + < > [ ], or match the name of a default object type in Corporater BMP.

Features

Icon - choose an appropriate icon to illustrate what the Tab contains

Layout

Columns large screen - the number of page columns the object spans across on Web on a large screen device.
Columns medium screen - the number of page columns the object occupies on Web on a medium screen device.
Columns small screen - the number of page columns the object occupies on Web on a small screen device.
The maximum number of page columns is 6. Hence, for the object to span across the entire page, set the value of '6' for the device type.
For the object to span across half the page, set the value of '3'. For the object to span across a sixth of the page, set the value of '1'.

Moving objects on tabs

The order of objects on a tab is determined by their order in the model and the column to which they are assigned (Column based layout).

To rearrange the order of objects in the model, right click the object that you want to move in the model panel and choose Move up or Move down. Repeat until the object is in the desired position.

To move an object to a different column:

When using Column based layout - change the number in Column in the Advanced tab to the corresponding column number
When using Row based layout - objects are placed in columns according to their order in the model: first object in first column, second object in second column, etc. Move an object up or down as described above to change it's column.

Objects can be moved up or down or to different columns on web pages using 'Drag and Drop'. They can be moved to Headers and Footers in the same way.

Moving scorecard objects to different tabs

By default, scorecard objects are placed on the first tab. They can be moved to different tabs in two different ways:

by selecting a different Tab in the Tab field in the Advanced tab for the object.
by moving objects to different tabs directly on the web page using 'Drag and Drop'

It is not possible to move objects between Page setups Tab sets, only between Tabs in the same Page setup Tab set.

A tab is not visible if there are no objects on it.

The order of the Tabs on the web page depends on their order in the Page setup. Move them up or down to get the correct order.

To use different Tab ordering on different pages you must create different Page setups.
