Supertabs
In a typical web browser, you can open multiple web pages in one window, and then switch between web pages by selecting tabs.
In the HERE browser, you can open multiple web pages and arrange them in columns or rows so that you can view their contents simultaneously.
A collection of tabs is called a supertab.
You can create a supertab by dragging a tab onto another tab. The new supertab contains the two tabs. You can then add or remove app or website tabs, arrange them in any combination of rows and columns, and resize them to suit your needs and your workflow.
If the apps or websites that the tabs display are configured to support Signals, you can change or select data in one tab and the data is updated across all tabs in the same supertab. For example, you might have apps for Customer Account Details, Customer History, and Current Order, each of which contains a Customer ID. If you choose a different customer, all the apps update to display the new customer's data.
Pre-defined supertabs might be provided to you by your organization, and available via search.
Local and published supertabs
Supertabs come in two types:
-
Local supertabs are personal copies that only you can see and use. You create and manage these yourself.
-
Published supertabs are supertabs that your organization's admins have published and assigned to you. When an admin updates a published supertab, the changes are reflected the next time you open it.
You can create a local copy of any published supertab, make changes to it, and save it as your own personal version. The published supertab is not affected by changes you make to your local copy.
Modify supertabs
As a user, you can create, modify, and save your own local supertabs. This includes the ability to:
-
Save a copy of any supertab (including published supertabs) as a new local supertab.
-
Rename the supertab.
-
Drag a tab from one supertab into a different supertab, or make it a top-level tab by itself.
Saving Supertabs is not currently available on Here Zero.
Zoom supertabs
When viewing a supertab, you can use keyboard shortcuts to zoom in and out, similarly to zooming tabs in a typical web browser. When you zoom a tab, the action affects only the content of the tab; when you zoom a supertab, the action affects the content of all the tabs in that supertab. All tabs in the supertab are adjusted based on their current zoom state. For example, if a particular tab is already zoomed in, it bumps to the next level from where it is, not to the same level as others that started at 100%.
The keyboard shortcuts are similar to the shortcuts for zooming tabs: add the Shift key to apply zoom to the whole supertab.
| Action | Microsoft Windows | macOS |
|---|---|---|
| Zoom in on a tab | Control++ | Command++ |
| Zoom in on a supertab | Control+Shift++ | Command+Shift++ |
| Zoom out on a tab | Control+- | Command+- |
| Zoom out on a supertab | Control+Shift+- | Command+Shift+- |
Zooming is not continuous: each time you zoom in or out, the zoom level adjusts by a set amount.
If you are an admin with the appropriate permissions, you can publish a supertab directly from the HERE Browser. When you publish a new supertab, it is automatically assigned to you and activated. When you publish changes to an existing published supertab, the updates are immediately visible to all users who have access to it. See Manage supertabs for full details.
