Hi everyone!
Does anyone know how to hide tabs created in Visio but still allow navigation to them through a navigation button? I don’t want to open a popup, like with VdxPage, but rather hide the tab while still being able to access it through a button created in Visio.
For example, I want to access the 'página-4' tab from a button on the 'página-1' tab, even if the 'página-4' tab is somehow hidden.
Thanks in advance for the help!"
It's not something I recommend because of the impact on your load time (using this solution will load all tabs, even if not shown yet) but you can do this as follows.
- Add Options shape data to everything except for the page that holds the buttons to your pages and set it to Hidden.
- Have your buttons set a session variable by using the SetVar shape data.
- Add a shape on your main page for every hidden page and add a Show or Hide or Collapse condition shape data to each of these. The condition should be built up to show the shape when it matches the value of the variable you have set with your button.
- For each of the conditionally shown shapes, add a link to the right page by adding VdxPage shape data to them and setting the value to the name of the page.
With these steps and the DataMiner help docs at your disposal, you should be able to set it up. Feel free to let me know with a comment though if you have trouble figuring it out.
You can also find examples of the page embedding on the Visual Overview Design Examples view of our live demo system, Ziine.
