Web Tabs

Web Tabs are similar to browser tabs, but accessible within Zoho Subscriptions. It enables you and the users in your organizations to access web pages or applications within Zoho Subscriptions. You can also set access permissions for web tabs based on users and roles.

Web tabs can be used in many ways to smoothen out your business workflows, especially if you use multiple apps to run your business.

Scenario: Patricia runs a digital magazine business and uses multiple applications to manage different aspects of her business. She uses customized reports in Zoho Analytics to track her business data from these applications. With web tabs, she can view her analytic data, like consolidated business reports within Zoho Subscriptions using an embed URL from Zoho Analytics.

Points to note before you start using web tabs:

Websites or applications that use “http” instead of “https” will not load in web tabs.
Some websites and applications may not load in web tabs because they are forbidden from being viewed in other applications. This is usually to prevent clickjacking attacks.
The web tabs you create will neither be linked to any other module of Zoho Subscriptions nor affect their data.

Create Web Tabs

To create a new web tab:

Go to Settings > Web Tabs.
Click + New Web Tab on the top right corner of the page.

Enter a name for the web tab.
Enter the URL for the webpage or web application that you’d like to open within Zoho Subscriptions.

Pro Tip: Try using the embed URL or publish URL of a website or application if the normal URL does not load in web tabs.

Configure the visibility settings of the web tab.

Insight: The web tabs that you create will be available to your users based on the visibility settings that you chose when creating the web tab.

Click Save.

Now, you’ll find the Web Tabs module in the left sidebar of Zoho Subscriptions with all your web tabs listed under it. Clicking on any of these web tabs will open the URL within Zoho Subscriptions.
