Tab strip: 1 fixed list tab, 2 active tab, 3 unsaved changes dot, 4 new tab, 5 all tabs
Tab strip.

#Basics

  • 1 The Orders tab on the far left is fixed: it shows a lock icon, cannot be closed and always stays first.
  • 2 The active tab is shown in green with a green line on top. Click a tab to switch to it; switching is instant.
  • 3 A green dot means the tab has unsaved changes.
  • 4 The + button opens a new order form.
  • 5 The All tabs menu lists your open tabs; click one to switch to it.

#Closing tabs

  • Click the × on a tab or click the tab with the middle mouse button.
  • Close other tabs in the Tab actions (three dots) menu closes every tab except the fixed tab and the active tab.

#Unsaved changes

If you changed a form and did not save, closing the tab asks “This tab has unsaved changes. Close it anyway?”. Your browser also warns you when you leave or reload the page.

#Reordering tabs

Drag a tab and drop it where you want. On a touch screen, press and hold the tab briefly, then drag. Tabs cannot be dropped before the fixed Orders tab.

#Working with many tabs

  • When the tabs do not fit, arrows appear at the edges of the strip; scroll with the arrows, the mouse wheel or your finger on a touch screen.
  • The active tab is always brought into view.
  • A module can have up to 20 open tabs; the counter on the right of the strip (for example 4 / 20) shows how many are open. When the limit is reached, a “Tab limit” warning appears; close a tab to open a new one.

#Address and page reload

  • The browser’s address bar shows the active tab’s address. When you share an order’s address, that order opens in its own tab.
  • When you reload the page, your open order tabs come back in the same order. New order forms that were not created do not come back.
  • Moving to another section from the main menu reloads the page; when you return to Orders, your tabs come back.
