Once you add a tab to a tabset, you can add sub-tabs that display under the tab. Each sub-tab displays a different Information Portal page or a web page outside of Information Portal.
To add a sub-tab to a tab
1 | Access the tabset to which you want to add a new sub-tab. (For instructions, see Adding or Changing a Tabset.) |
The Administration tool displays the Edit Tabset page.
2 | Click Edit Sub-Tabs. |
Here is an example of the Edit Sub-Tabs page:
3 | Click the tab to which you want to add a sub-tab. |
4 | Click Add Sub-Tab. |
The Administration tool displays the Add Sub-Tab page:
5 | Complete these fields to name the sub-tab and enter other information: |
Field |
Action |
||||||
Name |
Enter the name you want displayed on the sub-tab. (For example, enter “Basic”.) Note: If you want to wrap the tab’s text to the next line in the tab, enter a semicolon ( ; ) at the point at which you want to break the line. However, if you wrap the text for one tab in a tabset, you may want to wrap them all. This is because a tab with wrapped text is taller than a tab with unwrapped text. |
||||||
Hover-Text |
Enter the description that you want displayed in the ToolTip box when the mouse hovers over the sub-tab name. (For example, enter “Basic Search”.) |
||||||
Enter URL OR XSL Template |
Do one of these options:
You must choose either XSL template or Enter URL; you cannot choose both. |
||||||
Title |
Enter the name that you want Information Portal to display in the tan bar on a search page. (For example, enter “Basic Search”.) |
||||||
Description |
Enter a detailed description about what clicking on this sub-tab will display or do, or what this sub-tab is for. (For example, enter “Enter a search term and click Go to search the library catalog”.) Information Portal displays this description as instructions under the Title in the tan bar on a search page. |
||||||
HTML Help File |
Enter the name of the HTML help file that you want Information Portal to display. (For example, enter “basicsearch.htm”.) If your library has created HTML help for this sub-tab, you can enter the file name so that Information Portal displays the help when users click the Help button. This is the default directory for the HTML help files: directory where you installed Application Server software\jboss\server\default\deploy\hipres.war\help\eng You must be sure to place your help file in this directory so that Information Portal can display the file. Note: SirsiDynix does not support custom HTML help file functionality. Also, creating custom HTML help files requires proficiency in HTML. |
||||||
Additional Parameters |
Enter the search category group that you want to display. (For instructions, see Assigning a Search Category Group for Information Portal to Use.) |
6 | Click OK. |
The Administration tool displays the Edit Sub-Tabs page:
7 | Click Done. |
The Administration tool displays the Edit Tabset page.
8 | If you want to add another sub-tab, repeat steps 3 through 7; otherwise, continue with step 9: |
9 | If you added a new tabset, assign the tabset to the library profile for which you want to use it. (For instructions, see Changing the Tabset Assigned to a Profile.) |
10 | If necessary, 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 on a sub-tab.
11 | When you finish making changes in Information Portal, restart the Application Server process (JBoss). |
