Smart Client Tabs

For each smart form created, it must be hosted in at least one of three locations: the Smart Client, the document viewer or the search results.  For the Smart Client and (document) Viewer, a new tab can be configured to show the smart form in their respective locations.  

Smart Client Tab

Each smart form hosted in the Smart Client can be setup with configuration of a new tab including:

Tab Caption – The visible name (label) as seen on the Smart Client tab.

Smart Form Hosting Control – Control that provides the hosting container for the Smart Form. (e.g. – toolbar, sections, viewer)

Many smart forms can use the same tab if they are using the same host control.  When this occurs, a drop-down list becomes available to toggle between the many smart forms on that tab.

 

Viewer Tab

Each smart form hosted in the Viewer can be setup with configuration of a new tab including:

Icon – A unique icon to go along with the unique tab caption name.  Click browse to choose an icon.

Tab Caption – The visible name (label) as seen on the Smart Client tab.

Tooltip – A description used when mousing over the tab to aid users.

Smart Form Hosting Control – Control that provides the hosting container for the smart form. (e.g. – toolbar, sections, viewer)

Use custom viewer host control – Check the box to choose a custom viewer host control.

This setting applies to legacy smart forms that use custom UI hosting controls different than those provided out-of-the-box with the Smart Form Toolkit.
