Module 203: Section 14

where is says "add a tab object to the screen", so I've added a tab container, and it doesn't seem to work. I've been able to add a Units Data view object and a Sales Data view object, but the tab container doesn't seem to interact with them at all. I've tried dragging every which way within it, but no reaction from the tab container. When I go to the tab itself, under Tab settings its blank like it doesn't recognize any object in it.

Hi @Emil Amante,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Could you please try the following steps and check if this resolves the issue:

In Design Mode, drag the Tab object onto the screen.

Select the Tab object (you should see a blue outline around it once selected).

With the Tab object selected, drag the Dataview object over it. You’ll see a small box on the top left of the Tab object labeled DROP HERE – drag and drop the Dataview object into this box.

You should now see "Tab item 1" on the top left of the Tab object.

While the Tab object is still selected (blue outline visible), drag and drop the second Dataview object next to "Tab item 1" on the top left of the Tab object.

You will now have two Dataview objects within the same Tab object.

Please try this and let me know if it resolves your issue.

For example please see here. What I'm selecting right now is the Tab container, with two data view objects within it. As you can see, the Data tab on the right is blank under Tab settings.
