Dynamic Tab Name

[RobinReumers]

Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to have dynamic tab names? E.g. I have a contact page, if the contact is an employer, I would like the Mail tab to become the Salary tab, so it's name and function should be dynamic? Or some tabs should be restricted to some records, is that possible?

Not with tabs as such - but you can hide the tabs and use buttons instead.

I hope they will implement this feature in the next version. This would considerabely reduce the number of workarounds for multilingual systems.

It is possible to do this...

1. Give the tabs a space character for a name then specify a tab width in the tab control editor

2. Create a calculated field that does what you want (e.g. If( Type = "House" ; "House" ; "Flat" ) )

3. Add the field to the layout as a merge field, and align so that it sits roughly where the normal tab would. Then increase the height of the merge field so that it's top handles are outside of the tab control, this ensures it is visible from all tabs.
