Managing saved item list tabs

Item list tabs let you switch between multiple instances of the same list. Each tab has its own column layout, filter, and sorting to display specific information. See Using item list tabs.

You can save tabs to use the same list configuration later, and edit, duplicate, or delete saved tabs. You may also be able to share tabs with other users, change the owner, and set default tabs for security groups.

Views configured in Helix ALM 2017.1 and TestTrack 2016.1 and earlier are now saved tabs. They are available in the Open Saved Tabs list in the the Tabs menu menu and the Saved Tabs dialog box. Views now refer to configurable layouts applied to open requirement documents. See Using requirement document views.
