Managed hosts are for provisioning support, while unmanaged hosts are
usually reporting and config management only.
Managed hosts will have DNS, DHCP, TFTP, Puppet CA and similar
orchestration records created, updated and deleted (if configured) when
the host in Foreman is updated.
The tabs are probably hidden as the network/OS details are usually only
used for provisioning, but they're probably being set by fact imports.
