Article • 12/2/2025 • 2 min read

The Tab Order is the sequence in which the field in focus changes in the Shipment Editor when the user hits the Tab key. This article describes how to add fields to the tab order and manage the tab order list. Tab order can only be configured when in the Shipment Editor and only applies to tabbing through the fields in the Shipment Editor.

Configure Tab Order Mode

You can only add to or manage the tab order when you’re in Configure Tab Order mode. To enter this mode, create or edit a Shipment to launch the Shipment Editor. Then, click the Shipment menu and select Configure Tab Order.

Add Fields to the Tab Order

Once you are in Configure Tab Order mode, you can expand each section to view the fields. Fields are highlighted in yellow.

As you select fields, they are assigned a place in the tab order, which is indicated by a blue number next to the field.

Manage the Tab Order

When in Configure Tab Order mode, click the Manage Tab Order button at the bottom of the screen to open the Tab Order Sequence window. In this window, you can change the sequence of or delete fields from the tab order.

 

There are no default fields in the Tab Order Sequence window so there is no option to revert to a default tab order.

The Tab Order Sequence window must be closed in order to add fields to the tab order.
