Hi David,

The "Name for tab group" is the text that will be listed at the top of the page above the tabs, if you choose to display it. You can also change the text displayed on the individual tabs under the "Display Name for Tab" column. If you have specific questions regarding your tab group, feel free to contact us using the Help link under 'More' at the top of the page.

Is the "Tab Group" the names of the individual tabs or the name that goes above all of the tabs?
Thanks

Hi Debbie,
The sign up tabs are based on the color of the theme and cannot be changed. You would need to choose another theme or change the background by creating a custom theme for your sign up.

Can the tabs colors be changed without changing the signup theme?

Hi Volunteer Lead,
When you compose an invite or email in 'Messages,' you'll have the option to include the link to "specific tab group(s)." If you want to send an email with your own program, you can copy the tab group link from the 'Sign Up Tabbing' page.

How do I send out the entire tab group to an email list?

Hi Eagle,
Because each tab in a Tab Group is a separate sign up, you would first need to split up your current sign up into separate sign ups. Using the Duplicate feature may help to make this process a little easier. After you publish the individual signups, you'll be able to add them to a Tab Group. If you need further assistance with this, please contact via the "Help" tab at the top of the page.

Can I transfer my current sign up schedule to several new tabs?

Hi Kelly,

To add another tab (sign up) to your Tab group, you will first click the 'Edit' button next to the tab group. On the next screen click 'Add A Sign Up.' You'll then be given a pop up screen where you can choose the sign up from a drop down option. You will only be able to add published sign ups to your tab group, so if you do not see the sign up you are looking for, be sure to go back and publish the sign up first. You can then add the sign ups, as needed to this group. When you have added the sign ups that you want to included in this tab group, you will choose the 'Update Tab Group'. Underneath the Tab Group, you will be able to view a preview of your tabbed layout.

I have made one Tab under a Tab Group. Where is the button to add another Tab under the same group?

Hi Barb,
We will be happy to provide specific assistance if you contact us via the Help tab at the top of the page.

Please note that before you add sign ups to a tab group, they must first be published. To create a Tab Group, go to the Sign Up Tabbing area of Pro Tools. Click Add New Tab Group. You will then choose a name for your Tab Group. This can be something that will define the sign ups in this group. You can then check the Yes option if you want to show the tab group name above the tabs. You’ll then click on the green button, Create Tab Group.

The next step will be to Add A Sign Up by clicking that option. You’ll then be given a pop up screen where you can choose the sign up from a drop down option. When you have added the sign ups that you want to included in this tab group, you will click Update Tab Group. Underneath the Tab Group, you will be able to view a preview of your tabbed layout.

I'm having trouble with the tabbing. I just can't get it to work for me.
