A tab controller determines how the tabs in a task are displayed. You select one of the following tab controllers:
Displays the tabs for the task as independent tabs. Users can use the tabs in the task in any order.
This is the default tab controller.
Displays the tabs in a task as a wizard. Administrators use each tab in order.
Displays one tab, which is displayed as a single page, at a time. Users complete one tab and then click a custom button or link to move to the next tab.
The sequence of tabs and the buttons and links that are displayed are determined programmatically by JavaScript that you write when you configure the sequence tab controller.
In the custom JavaScript, you can specify the appearance and order of tabs based on user input. For example, if a user selects an option on the first tab, Identity Manager displays one page. If a user selects a different option, a different page is displayed.
