Updated on 7 October 2026
Tabs organise the content of a space. They appear under the space in the menu on the left.
To add a tab, hover over the space in the menu on the left and click "+". Then choose the type of tab. See Manage space tabs to edit, reorder or delete tabs.
Default tabs
Each new space has two tabs.
All content
"All content" lists all the articles of the space. It works like the search, for this space only: you can filter by tags and by other criteria, sort the articles and change the view.
Content feed
"Content feed" shows the latest articles of the space, with the featured articles at the top.
Other types of tabs
Activity
An activity tab shows the social activity of the space: the articles with their likes and comments, the featured articles and an introduction text. You can also show social boxes, for example the top contributors, the trending content or the recent members.
When someone comments on an article, the article moves back to the top of the feed.
Smart tab
A smart tab shows a filtered list of articles. Choose:
-
The "Default display": "List", "Grid" or "Table".
-
The sort order, under "Sort by".
-
The tags that the articles must have, under "Filter by tags".
-
The templates of the articles, under "Filter by templates".
Link
A link tab shows a web page in the space. The address must start with https://. Choose "Embedded" to show the page inside Elium, or "Open in a new window".
Examples: a form from an external service, a video, a presentation or a dashboard.
Article
An article tab shows one article of the space on the full page. Choose the article under "Select an article".
Tab group
A tab group puts several tabs together under one name in the menu.
