Collapsing Component Tabs

Sara Schill Saran
  • Updated

If your component tabs are starting to pile up, you can save space in by collapsing multiple related tabs into a single one.

Dividers and a light blue color are used to show which component tabs are related and will form a group:

To collapse one group of component tabs, use the arrow icon to the right of the name of any tab in the group:

You can also right-click on the tab and select Minimize from the menu:

The tab that is selected when you collapse the tabs, in this example the Characters tab, is placed on top of the group. Collapsed groups have a bar on the side to indicate that they contain more tabs than are currently visible:

Clicking the bar indicator selects the top tab. To access any of the other component tabs in the group, you must first expand it by clicking the arrow (now facing right) to the right of the name of the tab:

You can also right-click on the tab and select Maximize from the menu:

Want to collapse component tabs into their respective group all at once? Right-click on any component tab and swipe up! All your component tabs are now neatly organized into groups. To expand them all again, right-click on any component tab and swipe down.

    Hi!  We are in the process of grouping and slimming down the number of tabs we have.  I like the concept of collapsing component tabs.  What I don't like is that when you collapse a group, the tab used to collapse the group is the one that displays. 

    Is it possible to show a different (avatar) name for the collapsed group?  So in your example above, once you collapse the group using "Characters" (or any of the 6 tabs in that group), the collapsed group would display a more generic name like "Accessories" (or any name we define).

    If this is possible today, please let me know.  Else I guess it goes in the Feature Request bucket...

    Thanks!

    Hey Dan! Yes you're right, this is something that will need to be submitted under Help > Feature Request so that we can consider how it could work and try to implement it. I understand you were probably talking about customizing it and integrating it into your specific extension, but I agree this could be good core functionality as well! Remind me to update this comment when we (fingers crossed) allow something like you described ;)
