This section consists of tabs that split up a single area of an application into multiple screens that all fit together and are generally parameterized with the same parameter or set of parameters (for example the productId for all of the Product and related tabs). The tabs should include only include the screens that are a part of the set of screens for the area. Links to screens that are not part of the set of screens for the area should be included in the links below the tab bar.

The Main Screen Area is the area inside the decorator that changes for each area of an application. In other words it does not include the header masthead or footer, or side-bars if the application has them.

This area of the screen is focused around whatever task or process the user is performing. If multiple tasks are used in a single screen, they should be separated clearly separated.

Generally speaking, the main screen area should contain the following items, going from top to bottom:

1. Optional application area tab bar (mentioned above).
2. Page title, using the page-title style. The page title displayed in the main content area should match the title bar title. This makes a strong connection between screens and , bookmarks and browser history.
3. Optional related screen buttons, in the button bar style (external links outside of a certain set of screens). For instance, a Find screen might have a "Create New" button here.
4. The main form or other interaction area.

The initial display of search results is controlled by the widget.defaultNoConditionFind property in the widget.properties file. If a specific behavior is desired regardless of that setting the noConditionFind should be set in the screen actions.
