Many portal applications call those "pages", for lack of any better term to describe them. For some reason, many folks have a very difficult time "seeing" them, so whatever you call them, make them obvious and provide alternative methods to get to them if people can't remember they're there.

Apologies if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything related in the archives. I checked my Designing Interfaces book as well and came up empty, so now I seek the guidance of the collective.

What would you call "Current Design" in this example? Clearly "Design" is a tab, but "Current Design" and its siblings don't look like tabs, though they do *behave* like tabs. I started calling them "subtabs" but then switched to "submenus" and now I can't decide between either or something else altogether.

Thanks!
