Tabbing

Home For a tab that represents a rule, hold the mouse pointer over the tab to see the type, full rule key, RuleSet, and version information.

You can open multiple forms or other displays, each represented by a tab, up to the limit specified in the Maximum value in the Open group of Edit preferences. By default, the maximum is 20; you can chose a value up to 50. (More tabs may add to workstation memory demand and cause slower display refresh.)

As the number of tabs increases, the width of each individual tab decreases.
