Tabs

A Tabs widget contains a number of defined containers that can be navigated through the tabs. Each tab acts as a container that can have different widgets placed inside it.

Restricted components

In order to avoid excessively complex situations, certain components, namely Calendar and Kanban, are restricted from being placed within the Tabs component using drag-and-drop functionality.

If the builder attempts to add any of the aforementioned components inside the Tabs, an error message will be displayed:

<Restricted component> cannot be used as a child component within the Tabs.
