Introduction to tabs

A Block is just an empty container until you begin adding tabs to it. The tabs define how you will store your information. Tabs are the fundamental structural component inside a Block, just like a table in a database. Build the tab first, then build the fields that will be tracked on that tab. In truth, the configuration of tabs is the easy part; it's in the planning stage that the work really happens.
