There are several different types of runtime navigational strategies you can use when designing your Ignition project. A typical navigation strategy for a Vision project is as follows:

1. Have a Docked window or two, usually docked North and/or West.

2. Have a single Main window visible at a time.

3. Use swap navigation to swap between the Main windows. This ensures that only one main window is open at a time.

4. Use standard open navigation to open various Popup windows as necessary.

This style of project is so common, that the default operation of the Tab Strip component expects it. When it is in its default automatic operation, it expects that each tab represents a "screen" window, and will automatically swap from the current screen to the desired screen.

Furthermore, the [System]/Client/User/CurrentWindow tag is calculated based on this strategy: its value is the name of the current maximized window. This navigation strategy is used in the Ignition Online Demonstration that you can download from our website.
