Best Practice

  • You should use the Horizontal Tab widget to group information in tabs that are displayed horizontally.
    • To display tabs vertically, you should use the Vertical Tab widget. 
    • To group information within sections in a multilevel menu, you should use the Accordion widget.
  • Because the length of the tab titles is limited, you should use the Accordion widget if the titles are long.
