# Navigating Tab Collections & Custom Tabs The primary navigation bar in your Vault allows you to access different parts of the application and different functionality. For example, from **Home**, you can see and complete your open tasks. Admins can configure the primary navigation bar by relabeling or reordering standard tabs (**Home**, **Library**, **Reports**, **Dashboards**, **Loader**), and by creating additional custom tabs and tab collections. ## Tab Collections Tab collections are groups of related tabs relevant to particular roles or tasks. If you have permission to view multiple tab collections, you can see and select from all of the tab collections available to you by clicking the _Tab Collections_ icon. When you view a tab collection, Vault displays the name of the tab collection and its tabs in the primary navigation bar. Tab Collections icon and Tab Collections menu ### System-Managed Tab Collections All Vaults are configured with the following system-managed tab collections: * **All**: Includes all non-Admin tabs that you have permission to view, including _Home_, _Library_, _Reports_, _Dashboards_, and _Loader_, plus application and [custom tabs][1]. * **Business Admin**: Includes the _Objects_, _Picklists_, and _Templates_ tabs. Learn more about the [Business Admin Tab Collection](/en/lr/57307/). * **Admin**: Includes the _Logs_, _Users & Groups_, _Configuration_, _Operations_, _Deployment_, and _Settings_ tabs. Learn more about the [Admin tab collection](/en/lr/728/). Depending on your permissions, you may not see all of these tab collections, or you may only see some of the tabs within a collection. If you only have permission to view _All_, Vault does not display the _Tab Collections_ icon. When you log in, Vault displays _All_ by default. However, your Vault's Admins can configure your _User_ profile with a _Preferred Tab Collection_ to display on login. Depending on your Vault's configuration in _Settings_, _All_ may not be available in the _Tab Collections_ menu. ### Custom Tab Collections In addition to those provided by the system, your Vault's Admins can configure custom tab collections based on your business needs. Custom tab collections that you have permission to view appear in the _Tab Collections_ menu. ## Standard Tabs All Vaults have the following tabs, although they may be renamed in your Vault. Depending on your permissions, you may not see all of these tabs. * [**Home**](/en/lr/879/) provides access to your active task and workflow lists, notifications, and your user profile. * [**Library**](/en/lr/884/) allows you to find and open all documents to which you have access. * [**Reports**](/en/lr/3631/) allows you to report on data in your Vault, including documents, workflows, and objects. * [**Dashboards**](/en/lr/15328/) allows you to view report data as graphic representations like bar and pie charts. ## Custom Tabs {#custom-tabs} Your Vault's Admins can create custom tabs. You can view up to twenty (20) custom tabs on your primary navigation bar. The content of each tab depends on the tab type and the configuration: * **Document Type** tabs take you to a document listing similar to the Library, but limited to a specific document type, subtype, or classification. When your Vault has these tabs, you can search within them like you do from Library. You can also save custom views. * **Object** tabs take you to a listing of object data records, for example, products or studies. You can search, filter, and save custom views on these tabs, like you do in the Library. Your security profile must grant you _Read_ permission on the related object in order to see an object tab. Custom sharing rules on object records can restrict which records appear on the tab. * **Web** tabs take you to an embedded website or webpage from outside of your Vault, for example, your company's intranet or an external system. ## Search, Filters & Views on Custom Tabs For the most part, document and object tabs use the same functionality for filtering, views, layouts, custom views, and search. Your search and filter options within a custom tab may be limited if your Admin has defined tab filters. ### Search When your Vault has custom tabs, a [selector appears in the search bar](/en/lr/442/). The options in that menu align with your custom tabs and you can use it to select the context for your search. For example, you'd select _Products_ to search for products or _Site Management_ to search for documents with the _Site Management_ document type. If your Admin has configured tab filters, Vault applies these filters to all of your searches within that tab. ### Filters On any custom object or document type tab, you can [filter the visible results](/en/lr/1616/) like you would in the Library. ### Views For custom document type tabs, the **Views** panel is much the same as in the Library. It includes _My [Document Type]_, etc., for example, **My Site Management**. The only view that is not available is **Document Inbox**. For object tabs, the **Views** panel has only _All [Object]_ and _Recent [Object]_, for example, **All Products** and **Recent Products**. In any kind of tab, you can save [custom views](/en/lr/23830/). ### Layouts On document type tabs, the [layout options](/en/lr/1740/) are the same as in the Library. On object tabs, results appear in a similar format to the Library's tabular layout. The object's configuration controls the specific fields that appear and their order. [1]: #custom-tabs
