How to disable tabs in Project Workspace?

We have an ask to try to simplify the project workspace by eliminating unused fields (know how to do), but also to reduce the amount of tabs to things we will not be using. I tried what was mentioned in this post , but it did not work to remove the those tabs on the left. Can we also remove the tabs displayed in the details section highlighted below.

Hello @02Admin how are you?

Yes  you can simplify the Project Workspace, but the behavior you’re seeing is expected because those tabs are not controlled by standard form configuration.

The tabs you highlighted (Details section and left navigation) are driven by Workspace configuration, not by:

Form Layout
Form Designer
Dictionary changes

In Project Workspace (SPM), tabs come from:

UX Page / Workspace configuration
Declarative Actions & Components
UI Builder (UIB) structure

 

So even if you remove fields from the form, the tabs will still appear because they are hardcoded/configured in the workspace layout.

 

So here the steps to remove or hide those tabs
1. Go to UI Builder
Navigate to:
Now Experience Framework → UI Builder
Open:
Project Workspace Experience
Locate the Record Page for pm_project
2. Identify the Tabs Component

Look for components like:

Tabs / Tab Container
Record Tabs
Related Data Tabs

These control sections such as:

Financials
Resources
Risks
Related Records
etc.
3. Remove or Hide Tabs

You have a few options:

Remove the tab component entirely
Hide specific tabs using visibility conditions
Remove the data resources feeding those tabs
4. Left-side navigation (important)

The left panel (Planning, Financials, Resources, etc.) is usually:

A Navigation component
Or driven by Workspace configuration / JSON

To change it:

Find the navigation component in UI Builder
Remove items or apply conditions
Important considerations
Some tabs are tied to SPM features (Financial Planning, Resource Management, etc.)


Make sure you’re not breaking required processes
Some may reappear after upgrades if not handled carefully


Best practice

Instead of hard removal:

Use visibility conditions (roles / properties)
Create a lightweight workspace variant if needed
Align tabs with your governance model (only what users need)

 

If this answer helps, please mark it as helpful and consider it as a solution.

Thanks for the quick reply! So, I was poking around in UI builder (I do not have a lot of experience working in it) and did find the tabs within the Details section do appear to be related lists. They are related lists of the "PWProject" view. After removing them from this view, they also get removed from the project workspace. Still looking at how to potentially disable some of the sections on the left. Thanks for the nudge in the right direction for the tabs!

My pleasure, please mark my post as helpfull and that it provided a solution for you.
