Is it possible to make a tabbed Workflow form?

I am working on a process to request a new server. Our server admin has a large list of questions and options that he would like to have on the request form. In the interest of form size and cleanliness, I would like to divide this info into smaller sections and create tabs such as network options, disk options, os requirements, etc. I have been unable to locate a component for tabs on a form. Is there currently such a component or should this be a "wish list" item for a future release? I realize that everything could be on one scrolling form but I have received complaints from this department on a past project that required them to scroll while entering information.

Your best bet is the
Your best bet is the TabSubDialog formbuilder component. However, with this component, each tab is it's own model, thus it's own form that requires an output button.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the input
Thanks for the input Reecardo. I'll play around with that component in my sandbox project to get a better idea of what it does. I was really trying to keep 1 output though. Otherwise, I could of used multiple forms with next and back buttons. I am assuming of course that the data would remain on the form if I go back. I'm unsure of that without testing it.
While I HAVEN'T played with
While I HAVEN'T played with this component ever, you could set the buttons of the submodels forms to be invisible, or play around with custom scipt on the forms to get your desired behavior. That way it'll be more pleasing to the user.
Any luck
Ewentling,
Did you ever have luck getting this to work for you?
Matzebru, I actually haven't
Matzebru, I actually haven't persued this any further. It is something I've been keeping in the back of my mind for future ezperimenting though. Feel free to comment if you have any ideas.
I started to try and get this
I started to try and get this to work to make a basic portal but I can't see how to get the tabs to differentiate from one another. The tab names run into each other and there is no separation between them as shown below (I inserted red vertical bars to clarify where the 4 different tabs are):
Also, I can't figure out how to visually (other than text labels) show which tab is selected. For example, the current tab selected should be a slightly different shade of color.
Does anyone have any experience working with the TabSubDialog formbuilder component that could share any pointers on what I'm looking for? Thanks!
Hi Ewentling,
Even I am working on a process to request a new server. But I need to get the details of the Server Requestor through Active Directory. I found a component wherein i can search whether the requestor exsists on AD or not. Can you please help me with this. A video on this will be more helpful.
