# Creating Tabs in an Assessment Form
*Please note: Tabs can only be enabled if the Specification Type is set to Static. Tabs cannot be enabled if the Specification Type is set to Dynamic.*
When an Assessment Form is created, question on the form can be presented in 2 ways to a learner:
1. **All questions in the Form is displayed on one page (default behaviour):** This is ideal for shorter forms or when you want to give the learner the full context at once. It works well for simpler assessments where the questions are not overwhelming and where learners are expected to move quickly through the form.
2. **Each set in the Form is displayed as a tab in the Form:** This is better suited for longer or more complex forms where content can be logically grouped into sets. It's a good option when you want to guide the learner through a more structured flow, especially if different sets of questions require different kinds of thinking or concentration (e.g., different topics or formats like multiple-choice vs. essays).
**Creating Tabs in an Assessment Form**
1. **Create Sets and Questions in the Assessment Bank** Begin by setting up your sets and questions in the **Assessment Bank**. Each set will contain a group of related questions.
2. **Create the Specification** Next, create a **Specification**. This is where you define the structure of your assessment form by adding the sets you want to include.
3. **Add Sets to the Specification** In the **Specification**, you’ll select the Sets that you want included in the assessment form. These sets will become sections within the form.
4. **Enable Sections as Tabs** After creating the **Specification**, go to the **Specifications** tab and then select the **Specification** you just created. In the **Configuration** section, look for the **Sections as Tabs** option. Toggle the slider to enable this feature.
*When you enable Sections as Tabs, each section of your form (based on the sets you've added) will appear as a tab at the top of the form. This makes the form more organized and navigable, especially if it contains multiple sections.*
1. **Allow Tab Navigation (Optional)** As an administrator, you have the option to control how users navigate between tabs. If Tab Navigation is **enabled**, both Next and Previous buttons will appear, allowing users to freely move between sections/tabs. If Tab Navigation is **disabled**, only the Next button will be visible and only forward progression through the assessment is allowed.
*When Tab Navigation is disabled, then an addition setting can be selected to display a **Single Question per Tab**. If **Single Question per Tab** enabled then only one question is displayed on the current tab at a time.*
1. **Add the Title for each Tab** The Administrator needs to set the **Title** for each **Tab** that is appearing on the Assessment Form. If a **Title** is not added, it will display as "Untitled"
* After configuring the tabs, go to the **Forms** tab, then click on the **Section** tab.
* Next to the **Title** heading, under the **Content** Heading, click on the pencil icon (:pencil-alt:).
* Enter the desired title that you want the learner to see on the assessment form for that specific tab.
* Click on the **Save** button to save your changes.
* Repeat these steps for each tab in the assessment form to set individual titles.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.shiftiq.com/help/assessments/specifications-forms/creating-tabs.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
