What is a Tab

Introduction

A Tab or a "Favourite Tab" is the core part of this extension. It enables you to move faster between various Salesforce Setup pages without having to manually search everytime. Tabs are shown inside Salesforce Setup page, next to Home and Object Manager, directly below the Search Setup search bar. Tabs are also shown inside the popup of the extension, accessible by clicking on its icon at the top of your browser.

Definition

A Tab is a JSON with 3 specific properties: Label, Url, and Org.

Label

This is the name of the Tab which you use to quickly recall where a Tab points to. You may write anything as a Label (and you may even use Emojis).

Example

• ⚡
• Flows
• Email-to-Case
• Wiki

Url

This contitues the link to where the Tab will send you to. This is a special kind of Url since it does not include the domain when pointing to a Salesforce page nor does it include the /lightining/setup/ string when pointing to a Salesforce Setup page.

Example

• /lightning
• /lightning/app/standard__FlowsApp
• EmailToCase/home
• https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salesforce

Org

This is an optional property which allows you to segregate a Tab to only a particular Org. Valid values include everything from your Org link which is found between https://www. and .my.salesforce-setup.com/ (or .my.salesforce.com/ or .lightning.force.com). Tabs which have this property filled in are known as org-specific Tabs.

Example

• myproductionorg
• mydevorg--sandbox
• [no value]

Example

A Tab is any of these values:

{
    label: "Flows",
    url: "/lightning/app/standard__FlowsApp"
},
{
    label: "Email-to-Case",
    url: "EmailToCase/home"
},
{
    label: "Queues",
    url: "Queues/home",
    org: "myproductionorg"
},
