Using the Tab Manager

1. Metadata Views can be organized into tabs. Each tab has a corresponding View, defined by a View JSON file. To open the Tab Manager, navigate to Preferences and click on the Tab Management button. The Tab Manager will open in a new window.

2. Click (+ Add Tab) to add a new Tab. You can also edit an existing Tab by clicking on its pencil icon.

3. Each Tab requires a name and a JSON definition file for its associated View, which can be stored on a Network location or locally.

4. If you choose Local, you can then either drag and drop an existing JSON file onto the Tab Manager, or create a new one. To create a new View, click Create New. This will open the View Editor. When you are finished creating a new View, Save the View and close the window.

5. If you choose Network, enter a URL that resolves to a View JSON file. You may need to provide access credentials, based on your server settings. We recommend that View JSON be publicly available to your users to avoid any access issues. Using URL-based View definition makes it easy for an administrator to centrally manage a View for a workgroup. When the administrator updates the View, everyone in the workgroup gets the updated View when they next launch their Creative Cloud applications.

   Important note: URL-based Views may not be editied directly using the View Editor. It is possible to save the JSON locally, and then edit it.

6. You can delete Tabs by selecting one or more Tabs, and then clicking on the red Delete Selected button.

7. You can reorder tabs by selecting one or more Tabs, and then dragging them up and down.

8. When you are done adding, editing, reordering or deleting Tabs, click Save. This will close the Tab Manager. You will need to click Done.
