Tabbed browsing setup in Role Manager
You can use tabbed browsing to open multiple forms from within the same instance of Lawson Portal. When this function is enabled, the tabs are located below the navigation bar of Lawson Portal. The tabs in Lawson Portal work the same way as browsing tabs in any browser.
Tabs behavior
When you launch Lawson Portal, a single tab opens in the user's home page. Click the New Tab button from the User toolbar to open additional tabs. Click the X button to close the tab. You can close tabs as long as at least one tab remains afterward. When navigating to any page, such as a bookmark or a token, the page loads in the currently selected tab.

To pin favorites, select the Pin to new tab page check box on the Favorites tab of the User Options. To toggle the selected view between bookmarks and favorites, click the View Bookmarks or View Pinned Favorites buttons on the Favorites tab on the New Tab page.
