This setting is a list of dictionaries. Each dictionary in the list defines one tab. Dictionaries with their type key set to 'Hierarchy' should have they following keys: caption specifies the name of the tab, root specifies the path to the root of the project hierarchy to display. Dictionaries with their type key set to 'Query' should have they following keys: caption specifies the name of the tab, entity_type specifies the ShotGrid entity type to display. filters is a list of standard API ShotGrid filters. hierarchy is a list of ShotGrid fields, defining the grouping of the tree. Optionally, you can specify a publish_filters key, containing ShotGrid API filters to apply to the publishes listing as it is being loaded in the main view.	[{'caption': 'Project', 'type': 'Hierarchy', 'root': '{context.project}', 'publish_filters': []}, {'caption': 'My Tasks', 'type': 'Query', 'entity_type': 'Task', 'publish_filters': [], 'filters': [['task_assignees', 'is', '{context.user}'], ['project', 'is', '{context.project}']], 'hierarchy': ['entity', 'content']}]
publish_filters	List of additional ShotGrid filters to apply to the publish listings. These will be applied before any other filtering takes place and would allow you to for example hide things with a certain status.	[]
