Toggle tabs

Load and unload tabs

In SPS, all tabs including tabs for modules and other default tabs can be loaded and unloaded. This is controlled by SPS options

Under current version, these options are:

Each of them controls whether to load or unload a tab. By default, all tabs are loaded, but you can unload them by turn them to FALSE.

The original UI look like this:

To unload some tabs, scroll to the option lines in global.R file:

spsOption(.list = list(
    ...
    tab_welcome = TRUE,
    tab_vs_main = TRUE,
    tab_canvas = FALSE,
    tab_about = FALSE,
    module_wf = FALSE,
    module_rnaseq = FALSE,
    module_ggplot = TRUE,
    ...
))

We unload the “Canvas tab”, “workflow module tab”, “RNASeq module tab” and “About tab”. When you restart the app, you should see some tabs are gone:

Exception for module main page

You may have noticed, there is no option to unload the module main tab, which is named “Modules” on the left sidebar. This is because this tab is controlled by its sub-tabs, the module tab options. To unload this tab, all the module tabs have to be unloaded the same time like following. If any module is loaded, this module main tab cannot be unloaded.

spsOption(.list = list(
    ...
    module_wf = FALSE,
    module_rnaseq = FALSE,
    module_ggplot = FALSE,
    ...
))
