title: How should a tab bar controller be integrated into a navigation controller workflow?
body: <p>I've been given a design with the following workflow:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>User logs into an app</li>
  <li>Upon successful login the user sees a tableview with data rows</li>
  <li>Upon clicking a data row the user is taken to a view controller with a tabbed inteface.  Each view controller in the tabbed interface
  provides a deep dive of an aspect of the data shown in the tableview.</li>
  <li>From any tab the user can push the back button and be taken back to the tableview.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Based on this description it seems to me that the app needs a navigation controller root view controller for login and the tableview, then upon clicking on the table row the app needs to utilize a tabbar controller for the deep dive of the data.</p>
  
  <p>I cannot seem to add a UITabBarController to a Navigation Controller using a storyboard. Additionally I've found other SO posts that ask a similar question, but none of the answers provided seem current, or address this workflow using current (iOS7/8) best practices.  Is there a way to accomplish this workflow?  If there is not, is there a concise explanation I could use to inform the designer and stakeholders?</p>
