Overflow Behavior in the Tab Bar

With this feature, you can use stacked up tabs at the beginning and at the end of the tab bar in SAP Fiori apps based on SAPUI5 technology. This functionality enables the icon tab bar to group tabs and preserve their order when the tabs are too many to be accommodated in the bar.

App developers can control the tab grouping by using the tabsOverflowMode property, as follows:

  • tabsOverflowMode="End".

    This is the default value. When the space for the tabs is not enough, the overflow menu appears at the end of the tab strip. Note that tabs from the overflow will appear in the visible tab strip no matter their order.

  • tabsOverflowMode="StartAndEnd".

    This option allows grouping at the beginning and at the end of the tab bar, preserving the tab order intact. It is recommended for tabs representing sequentially ordered process steps, or all other use cases that take the tab order into account.
