Web Tabs

Web Tabs

Web Tabs in Vertical Studio enables you to embed contents such as third-party web applications or web pages in your application in the form of module(s). This helps you to offer additional functionalities and resources into the application without switching between different platforms.

You can either add URLs to embed web pages or open them in widgets using connected apps. It is particularly useful for integrating third-party applications like analytical dashboards, reports, and so on. 

Refer to Managing Web Tabs and Widgets in Web Tab help documents to learn more about its functionality.

Packaged Web Tabs 

Packaged Web Tabs are created in the developer console and deployed to subscriber organizations during signup or through upgrades. Any new Web Tab that is created in the developer console will be included in the next version of the application.

To know more about packaging, refer to our guide on Components Packaging in Zoho Vertical Studio.

The following table explains the upgrade behavior of an existing packaged Web Tab already deployed in the subscriber's organization.

Changes and Impacts 

When a packaged Web Tab is modified, published, and pushed as an upgrade, the primary impact is on the interface that subscribers interact with. Changes such as updating the URL, embedding new content, or removing a Web Tab can directly affect how subscribers access and use the embedded resources.  

Ensure to clearly communicate these changes to subscribers to avoid confusion and help them adapt seamlessly to the new interface.
