Tabs

      +

      A tab is a named clickable element in the UI. It appears in a horizontal sequence of other tabs.

      Tabs never appear vertically.

      A tab changes the information that’s displayed the UI. This could be for the whole application, or for a specific section.

      The UI highlights the currently selected tab for the user.

      For example, the following are both tabs:

      tab example
      tab example 2

      When you need to describe a tab in the UI:

      • Refer to the tab by its name, followed by the word tab.

        For example, the Data Tools tab.

      • Bold the tab name.

      • If you need to tell the user to select a Menu item after they select a tab, use the Menu UI Macro, instead.

      A user selects a tab to open a page in the UI. For more information, see Page.
