Automatically Change Tabs

[mtanco]

I can imagine an app with tabs where there's a button on one of the tabs (like a form to submit information) and when you click it to save everything it automatically takes you to the next tab. This does not seem to be currently possible with the tab_card.

I can use q.page['name'].items = ...my new tabs... to dynamically change the tabs that are available but q.page['name'].value = 'tab_name' doesn't do anything.

Is this intentional and related to our "no manual navigation" conversation @mturoci ?

See video here of somewhat clunky experience where I show a "upload completed" page and make the user manually click to the next tab

Hi @mtanco, tab_card is not really the component you should use for the scenario in depicted in video above. Tabs should be used to either logically group parts of data together or for showing various views within the same context (e.g. various data viz views for analysis). This is a scenario for multi-step form, take a look at wizard or arno's Big Data app.

q.page['name'].value = 'tab_name' doesn't do anything

The value is used for initial selection only, the selection can change only via user interaction afterwards as we discussed earlier.

The UX issue aside, I'd expect the tab to change if value is changed.
