This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
How to apply conditional display on tabs? How to hide empty tabs in Layout?
Solution:
There is no option to put conditional on Tab titles. The workaround would be to add Tabs using Bootstrap tabs and then you can put your conditions on tabs title. Example bootstrap tabs code is given here:

I have set up a layout template for a custom post type. One section of the layout is a set of tabs. Some of the tabs display data that could be empty for some posts. I do not want the user to click on the tab only to get nothing, so I would like the tab only appear if there is something to show.
I read the information on Conditional Output in Views, including a video and saw several similar questions on this forum, including https://toolset.com/forums/topic/conditional-display-of-tabs-cont/. I understand the content of the responses well enough to duplicate it on my own site, I think, but I cannot figure out where to put the shortcodes they recommend.
If I click the edit button inside the tab, the Edit Visual Editor cell dialog (attached screenshot) comes up and I am able to successfully create a conditional statement that changes the content of the tab based on what is available in the dataset and this works, but it is not exactly what I want. I want the entire tab to disappear. I cannot get a similar dialog to come up for either the tab or the row, so I can't find a way to wrap the entire tab in a conditional statement. I've attached screenshots for the edit dialogs for the row and the tabs which do not allow me to edit the shortcodes or add conditional statements.
Is this possible? Where do I go to wrap the tab in a conditional statement?
