The Tab Component creates custom tabs to display full page content under each tab. Users navigate between the tabs to access the page content. The component displays one page per tab.
In order to use this component you must submit a Jira ticket to CNMP requesting it be enabled for a specific page.
The difference between this component and the tabbed page component, is this component allows the use of custom tabs.
View on public site:
By using the Tab Component, the content author is able to alternate views, or actual content, that falls within the same umbrella context. This allows authors the option of providing a vast array of content in a streamlined and logical manner.
Avoid using tabs to simply navigate to different areas of a website. Instead, only use tabs when the topics all fall within the same context.
Tab Component displays content of different pages, available by navigating between the component’s displayed tabs. This component is enabled by CNMP in the General Settings Page and allows content authors to insert whole containers from other pages, with a maximum of one page per tab.
Tabs are built manually with custom labels/titles and a minimum of two tabs are required. The first tab is selected by default when a site user navigates to the page. Other pages are accessed by appending a [tab title] into the URL between the page name and .html.
Individual pages that are in tabs should have redirects to their tabbed versions.
For example:
this page: https://www.census.gov/data/data-tools/cbb/overview.html
has a redirect to: https://www.census.gov/data/data-tools/cbb.Overview.html
This way users can only see the tabbed version of the page. The redirect is found under Page Properties > Advanced tab.
JAN. 5, 2018 — The U.S. Census Bureau is evaluating the request from the U.S. Department of Justice and will process it in the same way we have historically dealt with such requests. The final list of questions must be submitted to Congress by March 31, 2018. Secretary Ross will then make a decision. Our top priority is a complete and accurate 2020 Census.
