Working with Form Tabs
The tabs in Aptify forms as seen in the Desktop client are available in the Aptify web interface, but the implementation is different. This section provides an overview of the differences in the following sub-sections:
Accessing Form Tabs in the Web InterfaceThe tabs for forms can be accessed from the bar beneath the last field on a form. Clicking on the drop-down arrow to the right of the tab name displays the full list of tabs available for this form, as shown in the example below:
Image Added
The tabs to the right of the drop-down arrow are generated by Aptify's Suggested Tabs feature and Relevancy service, which were added in Aptify 5.5.3. For more information on the Relevancy service and the Suggested Tabs feature, see Adding a Relevancy Service and Suggested Tabs.
Using AttachmentsThe Aptify web interface includes support for adding and removing attachments. The attachment function is available via the toolbar, located in the center of a record. The first figure below illustrates how to access the Attachments tab. The second is an example of a record with an attachment.
