Netvibes Documentation
Tab Locking
Tab locking allows the administrator or publisher to lock a tab. This means that the user is not able
to edit the tab or any of the widgets contained within it; widgets cannot be added, moved or deleted.
The tab and it's content stays perfectly in sync between the administrator's and users' versions. If a
widget is edited or moved, for example, the change is reflected exactly on the user's dashboard.
The ability to lock content by tab only can clearly be very useful.
To activate it, go to your NPD, click on the Tab Locking option.
Activate the ability to lock tabs here. To actually lock each tab, you must be connected to your
Dashboard.
When connected to the dashboard, a new option will be present in the tab edit menu:
Just check the Lock Tab option to lock the tab your are editing.
Locked tabs will display a small lock icon on the right.
