Usage

General guidelines

Tabs provide the ability to display grouped content. A tab label describes the tab’s associated group of content.

Tabs transform to accordions at smaller screens to ensure each tab item is still visible to the user without the need for scrolling.

The tab label character limits will change based on number of tabs. Do not use more than 6 tabs, otherwise the layout may appear broken. The maximum number of tabs may need to be adjusted depending on the width of the content area.

  • If 2 tabs have been used, the tab label character limitation is 30 characters
  • If 3 tabs have been used, the tab label character limitation is 20 characters
  • If 4 tabs have been used, the tab label character limitation is 15 characters
  • If 5 tabs have been used, the tab label character limitation is 12 characters
  • If 6 tabs have been used, the tab label character limitation is 10 characters
