Tab Groups are collections of Shared Tabs that can be applied to a user Dashboard all at once. Each user can only have one Tab Group applied to his or her Dashboard. A Tab Group always appears at the top of a Dashboard Tabs list.
Tab Groups are highlighted in purple in Design Mode.
Any changes made to a Tab Group affect all Dashboards that include the Tab Group.
Tab groups are updated just like individual Dashboards; however, they feature two unique tools (described below).
Note: If a Tab Group is assigned to a Dashboard,and a Shared Tab that the Tab Group contains is also assigned to the Dashboard, the Tab Group will not include the Shared Tab. This eliminates the possibility of duplicate Dashboard Tabs.
Note: A user's Dashboard can only contain one Tab Group. If you assign a Tab Group to a user whose Dashboard is already assigned a Tab Group, the newly selected Tab Group will replace the previous.
