Use

SAP Business Client implements a tab-based navigation model (tabbed browsing) and provides support for tab previews in the taskbar for a better overview of all tabs that are currently open. You can easily switch between tabs by selecting a tab from the tab bar, from the tab list, or in the taskbar. If you have several tabs open, the SAP Business Client taskbar icon displays a stacked symbol and a tab preview is displayed for any open tab.

The Show Tab Previews in Taskbar option is activated by default. You can deselect it in your personalization settings by choosing Start of the navigation path Settings Next navigation step Personalize... End of the navigation path. In the Personalize dialog, deselect the Show Tab Previews in Taskbar checkbox. The SAP Business Client taskbar button is now displayed in a normal state (not as a stacked symbol). When you hover over it, you see only one preview for the whole window.

Features

You can use the tab preview in the taskbar to select, close, and preview tabs as follows:

  • You can select a tab directly from the taskbar.

  • You can view a quick preview of the tabs that are currently open without navigating away from your active tab.

  • You can pin tabs to make them available when you restart SAP Business Client and connect to the same system. If you have pinned more than one tab, a tab preview is displayed only for the first tab after starting SAP Business Client. SAP Business Client displays previews of the other pinned tabs only when you select these tabs.

    To pin a tab, right-click the tab title and choose the Pin Tab option.

  • You can close any tab directly from the taskbar.

  • You can use the SAP Business Client jump list to quickly access important applications, recently used items, or some special functions of the current application process.
