{styleclass: Class=topLink}[top|#top]{styleclass}
Standard Tabs can be used if you wish to create relationships between multiple reports on a single tab by using Analytic linking. 

The benefits of this style of tab include:
# Data is easy to slice and dice - users can quickly drill down on multiple dimensions and views of their data
# Multiple related reports can be displayed on a single tab for quick access
