Tabs in the ERP views
Many ERP views split their content into tabs - for example "Overview", "Transactions" and "Settings" in Banking, or "Bins", "Tasks" and "Receiving" in the Warehouse. This page explains what such a tab strip looks like, how to operate it with mouse and keyboard, and how to tell which tab is currently open.
What can I do here?
- Switch between the sections of a view without leaving the page
- Recognise the open tab by the coloured line underneath its label
- Operate the strip entirely from the keyboard (arrow keys, Home, End)
- Share the selected tab through the address bar or save it as a bookmark
- Scroll sideways when there are many tabs, instead of having labels cut off
Step by step
- Open an ERP view that has tabs, for example "Warehouse" or "Liquidity".
- Click the label you want in the strip above the content. The content below changes immediately; the page does not reload.
- To work without a mouse: move the focus onto the strip with the Tab key. Arrow right and arrow left move to the next or previous tab, Home jumps to the first one and End to the last one.
- Check the address bar: the selected tab is stored there as a parameter (for example
?tab=accounts). Copy the address to share exactly this view. - If the tabs do not all fit side by side, push the strip sideways - with the mouse wheel while holding Shift, or with a swipe on a tablet.

Frequently asked questions
Why do the tabs look slightly different since 28 August 2026?
The tab strips now use the shared building block of the interface. Spacing and the blue tone of the active tab are therefore the same across all views. The tabs themselves, their order and their content have not changed.
Does my tab survive a page reload?
Yes. The selected tab is stored in the address bar and is restored when you reload or use the browser's back button.
I cannot click one of the tabs - why?
Tabs shown faintly are not available in this view. If you are missing a permission, please ask someone with administrator rights.
The strip is wider than my screen.
That is intended. The strip can be pushed sideways so that no label gets cut off.
