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.
You can also snap together Here® browser windows (containing supertabs) and desktop application windows (for example, Microsoft Excel). See Snap for more information.
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.
Modify supertabs
If you have permission to modify a supertab, you can do the following:
-
Save the supertab, and later find it in a list of saved supertabs to reopen. In addition to preserving the tab content, saved supertabs keep the arrangement of tabs as it was when you saved it.
-
Rename the supertab.
-
Drag a tab from one supertab into a different supertab, or make it a top-level tab by itself.
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 for users to work with. Publishing a supertab does not make it immediately available to others. Instead, an admin manages access to the supertab and then activates it for the assigned users. See Manage supertabs.
