1) what's the difference between the PC version and the tablet version?

2) why are you assigning VMs from code? ViewLocator is your friend.

There is no need to have two separate VMs.

private void loadView(JobArgs Args)
{
    // Create a View Info instance
    ViewInfo tabInfo = new ViewInfo
    {
        View = View.Job,
        EntityId = Args.Job.JobRevisionId
    };

    if (tabInfo.EntityId > 0 && TabManager.IsTabOpen(tabInfo))
    {
        TabManager.ActivateTab(tabInfo);
    }
    else
    {
        // Create an instance of the job view model and load it
        JobViewModel vm = new JobViewModel();
        vm.Load(Args);

        // Create the view and assign the view model to it
        UserControl view = new JobView();
        view.DataContext = vm;

        // Cretae a tab and assign the presenter view to it
        TabItem tabItem = new TabItem
        {
            Header = vm.GetEntityCaption(),

            Tag = tabInfo
        };

        // Add the tab and activate it
        TabManager.AddTab(tabItem, true);

If its hard coded, I hard code it in the XAML (psuedo
code):
 
<TabControl>
  
<Tabs>
      <Tab>
  
      <ChildView1 />
     
</Tab>
      <Tab>
  
      <ChildView2 />
     
</Tab>
  
<Tabs>
</TabControl>
 
The XAML for ChildView1 and
ChildView2 would use the ViewLocator to find the VM. Something
like:
 
<UserControl
somenamespace:ViewModelBase.ViewModel="{x:Type local:DocumentMapCtrlVM}" ...
/>
 
your ViewLocator should wire up the DataContext, etc. as
shown in that link.
 
If its dynamic (or determined at runtime),
you'd need to build a collection of some object where you have the name of the
tab and the usercontrol instance for example and then bind the tab content to
the object.UserControl from the collection with a data template.

For opening a dialog, I like to use a dialog service. That kind of needs a DI
engine / container. You'd register a generic base
interface:
 
interface IDialogService
{
  
AddressObject ShowAddressDialog(Window owner);
}
 
for example...
in the tablet version, you'd register a version that slides it in like you are
doing now and in the desktop version, you'd register a version that shows a
popup dialog version instead, but its all the same interfaces, so your calling
code is the same for both versions.
