Tabs

Tabs are the sections across the top of your group's page. They're at Manage → Tabs.

Every group starts with About, Sessions and Artists. What you can change depends on your plan: some groups can only set who sees each tab, while Customize Tabs adds extra tabs, reordering, their wording and per-tab settings.

Who can see a tab

Everyone, members, organizers, or hidden. Hiding a tab removes it from the strip — the About page itself is still your group's front page either way.

Adding tabs

With Customize Tabs you can add tabs and change the ones you have:

• Name is the tab's address. You give it when you add the tab and it is fixed after that — the form doesn't offer it again. To end up with a different one, add a new tab and delete the old.
• Header is what people see, and you can change it whenever you like. It's the one to use for different wording.
• Order is the order they appear in.

Kinds of tab

• About — your group's description and organizers. One per group.
• Sessions — the session list. You can have more than one, each with its own settings: a tab for your workshops and a tab for everything else is two Sessions tabs.
• Artists — your members. One per group.
• News — posts from the group. One per group.
• Content Items — pages you write yourself, as many as you like.

Settings on a tab

Most tabs have a display mode: everything on one page, a list with a detail view, or a featured item above a list.

Artists can put organizers at the top, and be sorted the way you want.

Sessions tabs have the most:

• Which filters the sidebar offers — status, calendar, categories, or none at all. Leaving a filter out also stops it working from a link, so this decides what people can narrow the list by, not just what they see.
• Categories to include or exclude, so a tab can be only your workshops, or everything except them.

The tab people land on

A tab can be the default for visitors who aren't signed in.

For people who are signed in it's a priority rather than a single choice, because not everybody sees the same tabs. Each person lands on the highest-priority tab they are allowed to see — lowest number wins — so an organizers-only tab set to 1 takes organizers straight there while everybody else falls through to whatever is next.

There's a separate priority for when a tab has new content, so a tab with something new can jump to the front.
