Knowledge Article Design/Layout

Hello Everyone,

 

I create technical articles for an IT department. And sometimes I come across a situation where I need to explain the same process for different platforms (Windows, macOS and mobile devices).

 

Is there a way or piece of code I can use to design a "tab" structure in an article?

So I can list the different processes in each section.
If I use anchors it will just make the article too busy/full

Basically Windows process in the "Windows tab", Mac process in the "macOS tab", etc.

 

I've started using the collapsible drawer code (that I found in this working group) in a couple different situations.

 

I'm trying be be concise and not have users search through multiple articles to find the steps for their platform.

 

Thanks so much in advance

If for the service portal, you could try using a mix of HTML and CSS: How To Create Tabs (w3schools.com)

...but if for Standard/Classic UI or Next Experience UI, I do not think this will work. You may be successful using UI Bulder for Customizable Workspaces, though!

we use collapsible sections with the sections collapsed by default so the user only expands the information they want to see.

Check out  Amaze by Intellective It can definitely help with this. In Amaze, they have tabs, carousels, accordions - you can even embed documents and videos. Here are some thoughts from one of the customers using it. Get a trial from the ServiceNow Store
