What is a Tab?

Tabs in an STQRY App are navigation buttons that help users move through different sections of the app. They're like digital signposts that guide you through your experience.

A variety of content can be linked as a tab, including lists, tours, and different screens. Here's how tabs work:

• The first tab is always the home screen
• There is space for around 5 tabs on most mobile screen devices
• The Settings tab is always present. It cannot be removed or reordered
• If you are using the QR Code Scanner or Keypad functionality in your app then a tab for it will be automatically added

For museums, cultural sites, and educational institutions, these tabs transform complex narratives into an accessible, user-friendly digital journey. Whether you're exploring a historical exhibit, taking a guided tour, or accessing additional multimedia content, STQRY's tabs ensure you're always just a tap away from the information you want.

How to Customize Tabs in STQRY Builder

Tabs can be re-ordered and the display icon can be changed.

Ordering Tabs

Tabs will be initially displayed in the order they are created.  The first tab is always the home screen of the app. 

The order of the tabs can be changed. Click and hold the button with three horizontal lines (pictured below) to the right of the tab name. Drag and drop the tab up or down the list of tabs to reorder it. Once you have the tab order set don't forget to click save at the bottom right of the screen.

Change the tab icon

To change the tab icon click on the icon to the left of the tab.  This will open a pop-up window where you can select one of the hundreds of icon options.
