Great UX with Forms Using Tabs

Long clinical forms can quickly become overwhelming. Too many sections on a single page make navigation difficult and increase cognitive load for users.

To improve usability, Aidbox Forms supports the tab container widget, allowing you to organize forms into clearly structured tabs.

Instead of presenting all sections at once, you can group related fields into separate tabs — making the form easier to navigate and complete.

How It Works

The Tab Container indicates that a group represents a collection of tabs.

- The Tab Container itself is a group
- Each child group represents a separate tab
- The label of each child group is used as the tab label

This structure keeps the Questionnaire definition clean and standards-based while improving the user experience significantly.

Why It Matters

Using tabs helps you:

- Break down long forms into logical sections
- Reduce visual overload
- Improve navigation across complex workflows
- Create a more structured and professional UI

Tabs are especially useful for:

- Multi-section intake forms
- Clinical assessments
- Prior authorization workflows

Better structure leads to better completion rates and a smoother user experience.
