1. I am not restricting the question to Access & Security. But in general what would be the usability guidelines for refactoring pages with multiple tables (without adding them to newer pages).

2. TabbedTableView + Ajax loading of tab only when it is clicked + table pagination were the three things I was thinking of.

3. What would be your suggestions for displaying pages with multiple tables (this has to be consistent across Horizon)? You mentioned tabs may or may not be ideal, what were you thinking of?

4. Are there any examples for using TabbedTableView and TableTab.

5. Table pagination - Does the table class provides pagination support?

Thanks for the responses.
