Managing Tabs in ManagementStudio Modules

Tabs within each ManagementStudio module display detailed information relevant to that module’s data. For example, installation prerequisites for an application are shown in the Discovery tab. Most tabs are predefined to support specific functions. You can configure tabs to be hidden, shown, or renamed using the Administration view. Additionally, custom tabs are available for recording project-specific information.

The following instructions use the Applications module as an example. The same principles apply to all ManagementStudio modules.

An example of Tabs used in the Application module

Accessing Main Tabs

To modify tabs for a module:

1. Select Administration from the bottom of the left-hand vertical menu.
2. Choose the relevant module (e.g., Applications).
3. Select Main Tabs.

Editing Main Tabs

The Main Tabs screen includes the following elements:

• Save Changes: Commit changes to the database.
• Cancel Changes: Discard changes and reload previously saved values.
• Toolbar icons (from left to right):
  • Search Grid
  • Clear search
  • Show/Hide Grid group bar (allows grouping the grid by a heading)
    • Expand All Groups
    • Collapse All Groups
    • Toggle Group Footers
  • Select All (highlight all entries)
    • Select None (deselect all entries)
    • Invert (invert current selections)
  • Copy (Copy selected to clipboard)
    • Export to Excel (All)
    • Export to CSV (All)
  • Pivot to table
    • Pivot to chart
  • Grid Column Chooser
• Main grid columns:
  • Internal Name: The system name for the tab. This value cannot be changed.
  • Display Name: The user-facing name of the tab. Click the cell to edit the text.
  • Visible: Shows or hides the tab in the details panel.
  • Order: Determines tab order. Order 0 (zero) positions the tab at the top.

After making any changes, select Save Changes to apply your edits.

Enabling the Hidden Tab

The visibility of the Hidden Tab (Administration → [Module] → Hidden Tab) can be configured using the same process as other tabs. However, access is also restricted by role-based permissions. Role Group permissions are set individually for each module. For example, a user might have access to the Hidden Tab in User Migrations but not in Deployment Units. For further details, refer to the Role Groups documentation.

Custom Tabs

Custom Tabs allow you to store additional data not covered by standard tabs. For instance, you might add a Custom Tab for specific virtualisation settings required by an application.

To enable a Custom Tab:

1. Locate either CustomTab1 or CustomTab2 in the list.
2. In the Display Name column, click the grey text and enter a name for the tab.
3. Ensure Visible is enabled.
4. Update the Order value if necessary.
5. Click Save Changes to create the Custom Tab.

To add fields to a Custom Tab, refer to the Custom Forms documentation.
