Disappearing Parent Tab

Hi All,
I've been working on conditionally displaying various tabs in my application based on certain parameters in my authorization scheme. What I am running in to now is that my parent tab "Admin" is disappearing. I know this is happening because the parent tabs target page is a being conditionally suppressed also. When I click on one of the sub tabs that has not been suppressed then the parent tabs reappear.
If the parent tab had the option "Tab Also Current for Pages" like the subtabs then it seems the problem would be solved.
Other than splitting up the pages and putting them on seperate parent tabs I can't come up with another solution. Anyone have an idea?
Tom

Scott,
Sorry for the confusion.
Let's say I have parent tab A with Subtabs B and C and Parent tab D with subtabs E and F. On A I have the target tab set to the page associated with tab B and on D I have the target tab set to the page associated with tab E.
Based on my security I have a condition set on tab E that prevents it from displaying for user TOM. Tab F though is allowed to be displayed.
When I login as TOM I see parent tabs A and D. When I click on tab A is see tabs B and C. This is what I want. When I click on tab D tab E is suppressed and tab F is displayed. The problem I face is that tab D also disappears until I actually click on tab F.
I hope this helps make the problem clear.
Tom

  • Help, I accidentally deleted the parent tab set.

    I accidentally deleted the parent tab set from my application, and cannot find anyway to create a new one. Has anyone had this problem?

    Hi Scott,
    unfortunately I made a stupid thing, being too smart and updating the FLOWS_020200.wwv_SOMETHING_tabs record, modifying parent tab of the problematic tab to main. Doing that caused the complete application to disappear from the Application builder. I guess some checksums in APEX internal objects were modified and that is the result.
    Fortunately I had a recent export of an application, so I didn't loose too much. That also means that I can not help myself with "as of" export.
    Could you please just tell if recreating parent tabs is possible by "clicking through apex screens" or should there be some hacking used.

  • How to use 2 level tabs? especially parent tab

    Hi all.
    I use APEX 4.0 and theme 17 Sapphire.
    I have two pages: A , B.
    When I run page A,I want to show it like this:
    ||Parent Tab1||Parent Tab2||
    ||tab1||
    When I run page B,I want to show it like this:
    ||Parent Tab1||Parent Tab2||
    ||tab2||
    tab1 belongs to Parent Tab1, tab2 belongs to Parent Tab2. Show the parent tab all the time.
    But now When I run page B. the parent tab disappears. Why?
    I check the two pages in Tree View. I find differences in the Shared Componts -> Parent Tabs area. Page A's Tab Set is main and has two parent tabs. But B's Tab Set is the one I created and just has one parent tab. So how to change it?
    Steps are the best.
    Thank you all.
    The second question is how to beatify parent tabs?

  • Problem Switching/Changing a page in one parent tab to another

    I have 2 level tabs in my application. Lets call the 'top' set of tabs, Parent1 and Parent2.
    Parent2 has only one tab 'below' or contained in it. While in Parent1, there are many tabs below it, each refers to a specific page that has some apex reports. I'm just trying to move one of those "sub" tabs and the corresponding report from Parent1 to Parent2.
    To do that, in Application Builder, i click on the page that i want to essentially switch form Parent1 to Parent2. I can see under the Tab section, what its called on the right side, under Tabs. Lets call that Tab_X. So, i click on that Tab_X, and it allows me to edit the Tab itself. Now I open up the drop down box called "Standard Tab Set", and there, i can see my Parent1, and Parent2 sets. It is already selected to Parent1. So i change it to Parent2. Save/Apply.
    Then i go run my application, and I do not see that Tab_X tab in Parent1 anymore (which is good-i wanted to move it). I click on the Parent2 top level tab, and there I can see the Tab_X in the sub-tab list, which is also good. So far.
    When i click on Tab_X to run my report, it runs and outputs fine. But i lose my Parent tabs in the Parent tab bar. My subtabs look like the ones it was grouped with in Parent1, even though i can't see Parent1 or Parent2.
    It seems like it sort of half made my change but not fully, and my navigation is now essentially not working properly.
    Am I missing a step to do this change correctly?
    Thanks.

    Change ownership as in change the iPad's name (like from John's iPad to Mary's iPad)? For that just go to Settings > General > About and then tap on the box that says 'Name'.
    If you're looking to change the default Apple ID login, while in the App Store scroll all the way down and tap on the box that has your Apple ID login info. Then choose to sign out. Afterward, scroll back down and select Sign In. By doing this keep in mind that any updates for apps that you downloaded with your Apple ID will require you to sign in to yours to receive the updates.

  • Unable to Set Parent Tab on Pages

    Hi,
    I created some pages and I just created parent tabs. However, I am unable to apply the parent tabs to the page. I went to the "Utilization" area and it does not have reference to any page.

    Hi Denes,
    I totally agree that it would be worthwhile putting together some tips on handling tab creation. Somewhere earlier in this forum I did explain how to create everything manually (though I do tend to create tabs during the page creation wizard) but it would be helpful if there was a definitive guide somewhere.
    I think my number one tip, as far as parent tabs goes, is to change the default sequence number to something other than 10 during creation. If you already have a tab with this number, you tend to lose your new one. I set this to 999 during creation and then change it afterwards.

  • Can't grasp the relation between tab set, parent tab, standard tab set and standard tab

    Very novice to apex application building, but after trying to figure the concepts behind the tab sets I'm getting more and more confused about it as I always get different behaviour when changing things.
    The documentation is not very clear on this.
    Is there someone who can explain this in a comprehensive way?
    It would be nice to have a view on the consequences of using these different levels of groupings.
    Any help will be dearly appreciated ;-)

    One level tab application
    Tabsets are used to group standard tabs.
    Use full when splitting up the application in different sections. Much like how the apex is split up in the application builder, sql workshop, team developend and administration.
    Parent tabs aren't used. And a one level tab application can't be turned into a two level tab application.
    Two level tab application
    Parent tabs belong to only one tabset "main".
    The standard tabset is the connection between the parent tab and standerd tab.
    There is one standard tabset for every parent tab.
    The standard tabset in the two level application has the same function as the tabset in the one level application.
    The standard tabset also determines when a parent tab is current.
    When on the page the setting Standard Tab Set is set then the parent tab belonging to that standard tabset is current.
    This means that if you change a page form one parent tab to an other you not only need to change the tab settings. But also the settings on the page.
    If you still in the position to choose between list or tabs as your main form of navigation I would recommend using lists.
    The possibilities with the list templates are greater that with tabs.
    Tabs have a maximum of two levels. List don't have such a limit.
    If you created your application as a one level tab application you can't turn it in a second level application without some serious hacking.
    Clicking on a standard tab submits the page and branch after the computations. This could also be viewed as a pro for tabs because with list navigation your page needs to be accessible by url. Did isn't necessary with standard tabs making them more secure. Parent tabs also use an url to navigate.
    Only the standard tabs belonging to the current standard tabset are rendered making a drop down menu impossible.
    Hope this clears up some of your questions.

  • Trying the last hour trying to add in the parent tab on Apex

    Hi,
    I have a the tabs on my Apex page and the parent tabs would not ever show up on my new page. It says it's on my page definition. Any suggestions? Thanks,
    Samantha

    Hi Samantha,
    Are you definitely using a 2 Level tab page template?
    It can be changed in the display attributes of your page definition. In APEX 4 in the tree view double click on the page name when editing your page in application builder. If your using component view or less than APEX 4 then single click on the page name when editing your page in application builder.
    Hope this helps
    Thanks

  • What is the maximum number of children tabs related to one parent tab?

    I have an application with several parent tabs, there are 21 children tabs related to one single parent tab. If I create the number 22 child tab, all the 22 pages related to this parent tab show an error and do not display.
    The only solution is to move the 22nd child tab to a distinct parent tab with not as many children.
    Is that the limit? 21 tabs per parent? Is there any way to attach more children to one parent?
    I am using the grey and orange theme.

    Don't think there is one.  I believe it's only limited by the storage available in your account.

  • Creating new page with new parent tab

    Does this happen to anyone else? When I try to create a new page that will have a new parent tab and standard tab in a 2-level tab setup, it never seems to work right. I end up having to dele the new parent tab and standard tab I created while creating the new page. Then once the page is created, I go into Shared Components -> Tabs, and create a new Parent Tab and assign it to this new page. Seems like a crazy way to have to do it.
    I know this sounds crazy and it is hard to explain the issue, but anyone who has had this problem with creating a new page with new 2-level tabs will understand what I am talking about.
    Can anyone point me to an explanation on how this should be done? I know I must be missing something.
    Thanks,
    John

    I've recently had to muck around with the 2 level tabs aswell. There are some things making this rather difficult indeed.
    What i'd do when creating a new page you want to have under a new tab, but also with a new parent tab, is to create it with only a new STANDARD tab. Don't create a new parent tabset. All parent tabs are in the same tabset, and if you create a new tabset you'll effectively see only this new parent tab + tab on the page you created.
    So unless you want the page to be on an absolutely new set of tabs, you'll probably just want the page to be on a new top-level tab with under that a new standard tab. Like so:
    <NEW PARENT> | parent 1 | parent 3 | parent 4
    <NEW TAB> |
    To achiece this, you'll need a new standard tab set. You can create this when creating the page. The standard tab set is the set used for you lower level tabs, so obviously we do need a new one.
    As for the parent set which you can choose upon page creation, choose the already existing parent tab set. This set contains all your already existing parent tabs, and you wish to add one for display.
    When you finish creating the page and run it, you'll see that the standard (lower level) tab is there, and is set to active, but your parent tab is not there.
    Go to Shared Components > Tabs. Select the "Manage Tabs" tab there. You can notice your new set there, but notice the striped outline of it. This tab has no parent tab for it! And this is the problem with tab creation in 2-level tabs: you can make a new STANDARD tab and tabset, and define a parent tab set OR create a NEW tab set with tab. Both options fail us: what we want is a NEW parent tab in an existing parent tab set!
    So to fix our problem, from the manage tabs tab click on "Manage Parent Tabs", found on the right hand side of the screen in the region "Parent Tab Tasks".
    This'll bring you to a magical new tab within the tab components. It's a mystery to me why it has to be hidden like this, and makes it a real pain to use. On this page you can manage your parent tabs (the only place to do so actually...). Here you'll see there is no parent tab for your page (again), but here you can create a new parent tab from the right hand menu "Parent Tab Tasks" > "Create New Parent Tab". Enter a label, and choose your existing parent tab set as parent tab set. Don't create a new set. As for target, refer to your new page again.
    However, we are not done yet. You are returned to the "Parent Tab Management" page. You new parent tab will be shown there, but when you run your page, the parent tab will not be set active yet.
    To fix that, go back to the "Parent Tab Management". Select your parent tab so you go to it's details. Firstly, give it a new sequence number, otherwise it'll be shared with one (the parent tabs are created with sequence nr 10, so most probably on a shared position with your first parent tab).
    Then turn your eyes on the "Current on Standard TabSet" list item. It'll have an option selected, but take a good look: it'll be the same name as your parent tab. From the options, select your new Standard tab set (the lower level set) which holds your new page. Then apply your changes and run your page: both your parent and standard tab will be there and highlighted. Yay!

  • How to switch between 2 Parent Tab Sets main and main2

    Hi,
    I have the following structure:
    Parent-Tab-Set: main
    Parent-Tab : Parent 1
    Child-Tab : Child 1
    Parent-Tab : Parent 2
    Child-Tab : Child 2
    Parent-Tab-Set: main2
    Parent-Tab : Parent 3
    Child-Tab : Child 3
    Parent-Tab : Parent 4
    Child-Tab : Child 4
    Now I want to create a new Parent Tab in main, but always creates it in main2
    My goal:
    Parent-Tab-Set: main
    Parent-Tab : Parent 1
    Child-Tab : Child 1
    Parent-Tab : Parent 2
    Child-Tab : Child 2
    Parent-Tab : Parent 5
    Child-Tab : Child 5

    Hi Kappy,
    well what you are saying is obvious to me. This is not the point for me and not what I wanted to know. But I think you answered my question anyway: OS X is unable to switch between windows of the same application as I mentioned in my example.
    WHY NOT???
    Every other OS is able to differentiate between windows and not just applications.
    Another example: The Mail application and an Email editor window. When you are writing an Email and you want to switch to the main window of the Mail application to read something you must again use the mouse!
    I mean Apple seems to be "somehow" using FreeBSD in the background and even in FreeBSD's window manager it is possible to switch between windows of the same application.
    Well, in the Apple world it is always the pour user who is not intelligent enough to understand Apple's philosophy ;-(
    To me this is not modern, it is simply a weakness of the OS.
