Tabs appear in the top navigation of the system. They make up the principal groupings within which information is stored in the system. Example tabs include 'Knowledge', 'Media' and 'Ranger Work'. Each tab contains at least one sequence, which form a second layer of grouping within the system. For example, sequences within the 'Knowledge' tab could include 'Places' and 'Seasonal Calendar', while sequences within 'Media' may include 'Photos', 'Documents', 'Video' and 'Audio'.
