The Tab widget allows you to organize and display multiple sets of content or functionalities within a single window while saving space and maintaining an organized layout. A typical tab widget consists of a horizontal or vertical bar containing distinct tabs representing CTA’s, often placed at the top or along one side of a window. When a tab is selected, its associated content is displayed in the main area of the widget, while the other tabs remain visible but inactive. The Tab widget allows users to easily navigate between different sections without the need for separate windows.

Adding a Tab Widget

To add a Tab widget:

  1. Go to the Visual Editor by clicking Design on the Dashboard top panel or by navigating from Dashboard > Channels > Design.
  2. Navigate to the Widgets list on the Visual Editor Left Panel.
  3. Type the widget name in the search bar, or expand the Navigation grouping and select the Tab widget.
  4. Drag and drop the Tab widget from the list onto the desired crafting area of the Layout Canvas.

Configuring the Tab Widget

Once you have added the Tab widget, click it to activate the Property Panel, where you can customize its Styles, Content, and Settings according to your preferences.

To configure the Tab widget:

  1. Go to Styles to configure the principal styling features (see Global Styles).
  2. Go to Content to make the necessary configuration of widget content:
  • Click + Add Tab to add new tabs.
  • Click and hold the tab on the left side, then move it to the desired position to reorder the added tabs.
  • Click the Dotted Menu and select the corresponding option to rename and delete the tabs.

3. Go to Settings and expand Visibility to modify the visibility of the widget on your website. Select who can view the widget according to the customer’s location, session status, type of used device, browser, language preference, etc. (see Visibility Settings).

Modifying the Tab Widget Properties

Once you have configured the Tab widget, you can modify the corresponding properties inside the Tab widget. This allows you to define the appearance and functionality of the widget on your website.
