The optional <tab> tag (new in July 2010) allows the user to assign groups of fields to separate tabs in the Annotation Editor. This provides a way of organizing fields into groups for ease of data entry. In the example below, the first three fields and also the Year field will go into the Publication tab, while the Gene Name, Gene Symbol, and Alelle will go into the Gene/Allele tab:
<field name="PubMed_ID" enable="true" desc="provide publication ID from PubMed" tab="Publication"/> <field name="First Author" enable="true" tab="Publication"/> <field name="Journal" enable="true" tab="Publication"> <ontology name="Journal" file="http://dev.gramene.org/plant_ontology/ontology-files/collaborators_ontology/gramene/others/journal_list.obo"/> </field> <field name="Gene Name" enable="true" tab="Gene/Allele"> <field name="Gene Symbol" enable="true" tab="Gene/Allele"> <field name="Allele" enable="true" tab="Gene/Allele"> <field name="Year" enable="true" tab="Publication"/>
If fields are not organized into named tabs, they will be split into
numbered tabs if there are too many fields to fit in one tab. The number of
fields per tab defaults to 8 and can be set by the top-level tag
fields-per-tab, e.g.
<fields-per-tab numfields="12"/>
The fields-per-tab parameter is ignored if you assign fields to named tabs.
