What is a Slide Panel

What are Slide Panels?

See: http://filemakerproresources.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/what-is-slide-panel.html

A Slide Panel - also called Sliding Panel - is a Tab in a Portal that contains numerous sections, all hidden by the first Tab.  These Tabs are called Panels because they can be displayed one after another, with the current one hiding the others.  You surely have come across a similar idea in websites, where the homepage displays alternating pictures, with a dark bullet - one out of a number of white bullets - showing when the next Panel is displayed.
To see it in action, visit https://youtu.be/x6TOxbGi2zc (at 1:15 minutes until 2:40)
