Description

As discussed in the last developer [Meeting_2025-11-12|meeting] the new system shows a lot more relation tabs in detail views.
@Stefan Eichert made the great suggestion to hide tabs without entries but make them appear with a plus button beside the last open tab.

Update
The new tab layout approach removed empty tabs and displays their content in the last visible tab (+ Relation)
A preview can be seen at the development demo: https://demo-dev.openatlas.eu/entity/50625

  • Description updated (diff)
  • Status changed from Assigned to Resolved
  • Assignee changed from Katharina Wünsche to Alexander Watzinger
I had an idea building on the one of Stefan: remove empty tabs and display their content (e.g. the buttons) in one additional tab at the end. Advantages over the original idea:
  • Easy to implement (no fiddling around with showing/hiding tabs)
  • Less clicks to add something
More details:
  • Changes are in the feature/new_classes branch and a preview can be seen here: https://demo-dev.openatlas.eu/entity/50625
  • I named it + Relation because just a plus sign looked too inconspicuous. Maybe a color reversed plus or a different naming? I'm open for suggestions.
  • Some buttons are not working correctly but it's good enough to see how it will look like
  • I added user from the meeting where it was discussed as watchers to update you, feel free to remove yourself again. And apologies to Katharina for grabbing her assigned issue ;)

We tested a bit and are satisfied with the resulting look so closing the issue. But we are still open for suggestions about the label.

Nina made a suggestion in the main release issue and I'm re-posting it here in the detail issue about tabs.
Feedback to her suggestion is welcome.

As already visible in the demo-dev version (https://demo-dev.openatlas.eu/entity/50625), tabs that do not yet contain any entries are grouped under the “+ Relation” button and can be populated from there. However, it is unclear whether “+ Relation” is the most appropriate label, as it may not be immediately intuitive for users. A possible alternative would be to rename this button “+ Add”.
