How to Use a Right Click When Opening Links
If you want to take advantage of Tab Browsing go to your Home Page and right click on Reports, for example. The right click menu offers you the option of opening up in a new window or a new tab. This is similar to the Open Windows list in the desktop version. You also can re-arrange these tabs any way you like by merely clicking on the tab and dragging it to the desired location.
