New Tabs function

App Development

Hello,

I am really excited about the new tabs feature. However I could not find a way to control access rights to different tabs by user role. Is that possible? By manually creating the tabs I was able to allow access to particular rows “tabs” only.

Hi Alex,

The advanced tabs you custom create is going to be more robust than what’s possible using these new tabs. This is a starting point and with feedback like this we’ll certainly keep developing on top of it.

We’ve gotten some great feedback so far, such as:

  • Javascript callbacks
  • Trigger Tab selection from links/buttons
  • Add Icons
  • Horizontal tabs
  • Your idea about user roles. This one is the most complex since our tabs works inside the column level, but we’ll investigate.

Thanks for your reply, Moe! I understand and for those applications I will keep the old tabs. Anyway the feature is great for other applications!

Also since tabs are inside the column level- it’s challanging to resize components where normally we’d simply resize the column - any work around for this?

Otherwise I think we should be able to resize components within a column by dragging as well

I know I can use col-6, such classes but it requires quite a bit of custom css to move things up and down etc.

Here’s a temporary workaround that you can use.

if('{loggedInUser.Role}' === 'ROLE HERE'){
$('.x-type-col-tabs>ul>li:eq(2)').hide();
}

just adjust the eq() accordingly based from the sequence of the tabs. 0 being the first tab.
