Adding or Changing a Tabset

If you want to change how a tabset should display in Information Portal, then you can add a new tabset or change an existing one. When you add or change a tabset, you must also specify information about the tabs and sub-tabs that you want displayed.

The Administration tool has a default tabset. However, you can never change the default. To change a tabset, you can copy the default, change the settings, then assign the copy for a profile to use.

To add or change a tabset

1 Open your Information Portal Administration tool web site.
2 Click the Customize tab.
3 Click the Interface sub-tab.
4 Click the Tabset option.

The Administration tool displays the Tabsets page.

5 Do one of these options:

To add a new tabset

To change a tabset

1 Find the tabset that you want to copy to create the new tabset.
2 Click Copy next to the tabset you want.

The Administration tool displays the Add Tabset page.

3 In the Description field, enter a unique name for the new tabset.
4 Click OK.

The Administration tool displays the Edit Tabset page.

Click the name of the tabset that you want to change. (For example, click “Default Tabset Copy”.)

The Administration tool displays the Edit Tabset page.

Here is an example of the Edit Tabset page:

From here you can do a variety of tasks with tabs and sub-tabs.

For tasks with tabs, see these topics:

Adding a Tab
Deleting a Tab
Changing the Order of the Tabs
Changing the Text on a Tab
Changing the Color of a Tab and Its Sub-Tabs
Changing the URL for a URL-Type Tab

For tasks with sub-tabs, see these topics:

Adding a Sub-Tab to a Tab
Changing the Information for a Sub-Tab
Changing the Order of Sub-Tabs in a Tab
Executing a Search from a Sub-Tab
Deleting a Sub-Tab from a Tab
6 Assign the new tabset to the library profile for which you want to use it. (For instructions, see Changing the Tabset Assigned to a Profile.)
7 Assign the indexes that you want to use for the sub-tabs in the tabset. (For instructions, see Changing the Indexes within a Tabset.)

Assigning the indexes you want to a sub-tab lets you define which indexes Information Portal makes available for an Information Portal page.

8 When you finish making changes in Information Portal, restart the Application Server process (JBoss).
