Crowded tabs
Hi All,
I wonder if we really need to have tabs for AR, AP and IS Mgr. We could put them respectively under Accounting and Asset. Maint., isn'it ?
This because it begins to take place at the tab level. It's the same remark that I did about vertical menus even if I did not find the time yet to make a proposition for product menu for instance.
Thanks
Jacques

Thanks Anil,
I finally found it : comment in http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/User+Interface+Layout+Best+Practices
But I will update and copy it in New+Features+Roadmap. It seems more appropriate place indeed.

My wishlist item for this would be for a user to be able to position the
tabs according to their preference and replace the secondary menu with a
primary menu top "More" dropdown item.
But like most of us I guess there's more wishes than time to fulfill them.

We've got a theme that we've been working on that does the same thing - just with CSS. We'll likely post it up to demo at some point so that everyone can check it out.

These tabs independent of other (especially "base") applications are
important. The general idea is that different users would have
different permissions for the tabs, so it may be common that a user
has access to "AR" but not to "Accounting".
This thread seems to have gone in the direction of better UI practices
to switch tabs. A drop-down might be really nice, and open up lots of
room for different numbers of applications. I also like the idea of
having something to select the apps desired for a "quick links" bar,
and maybe have that go beyond just tabbed applications and include
individual pages for easy access.

I believe david said that the top menu was for the Applications relative
to doing business.
I agree that AR and AP should be under Accounting.
may have a level of sub menu for Sub application like AR, and AP.
