Choose a tab to be visible on a screen when a user encounters it in the workflow

paul vinter

Hi there,

First question here - I have searched to see if this was previously asked with no result.

Is it possible to make a screen open on a specific tab when the user encounters it during the workflow? Example, let's say I have a screen with 4 tabs (A, B, C and D). As a user I am a few transitions down in the workflow and as such the relevant information for me to enter is only on the C tab - is it possible that when I open the issue that tab is already visible to me so I do not have to click on it to enter the fields therein?

I hope that is clear.

Thanks in advance.

try something like this using JavaScript

var tab1      = AJS.$("a[href='#tab1']").closest("li");
var tab2      = AJS.$("a[href='#tab2']").closest("li");
var tab3      = AJS.$("a[href='#tab3']").closest("li");
var tab4      = AJS.$("a[href='#tab4']").closest("li");
tab1.hide();
tab2.hide();
tab3.hide();
tab4.hide();
showTab(3);
 
function showTab(tabId)
{          
   for(i = 1; i <= 4; i++)
   {
       var tableObject = document.getElementById('tab' + i);               
       if(tableObject)
       {
          if (i == tabId)
          {
             tableObject.style.display = 'table';
          }
          else
          {
             tableObject.style.display = 'none';
          }
       }
   }
}
