10.2.1 Creating a Tabbed Interface
The Tabbed Interface component is not accessible from the Viewsheet Component tree. To create a tabbed interface, follow the steps below.
1. Drag and drop one component (or group) onto another component (or group). This opens the 'Layout Option' dialog box.

2. Choose the 'Place component into tabbed interface' option. This places the two components (or groups) into a tabbed interface.

Note that each component is placed at the top-left corner within its own tab. To display a component at a different location within its tab, first group the component together with a background (e.g., an Image component or one of the Shape Components), and then use the group as the contents of the tab. See Grouping Components for more information.
Any of the following components can be placed into a tabbed interface:
• Individual components (e.g., Calendar, Table, Chart, Selection Container)
• Grouped components (i.e., a Container element)
• Nested Viewsheets
To add an additional component to an existing tabbed interface, simply drag the component (or group) onto the tabbed interface. This will create a new tab containing the component (or group).
To remove a particular tab from the tabbed interface, follow these steps:
1. Click the tab you wish to remove.
2. Select the component or group within that tab.
You can also delete the component, if desired.
3. Drag the selected component out of the tabbed interface (or Cut and Paste) onto an empty region of the Viewsheet. This will remove the component from the interface (and delete the corresponding tab).
To remove the entire tabbed interface, follow the steps below:
1. Click on the row of tabs to select the tabbed interface (as a whole).
2. Right-click, and select 'Remove' from the context menu (or click 'Delete' on the keyboard).
This deletes the tabbed interface, and returns all of the tabbed components to normal positions on the Viewsheet.
