Interesting stuff here. I will take a look at what is going on. I also think the behavior of Server is pretty cool in this situation. I'm going to dig around a bit in the dash design and see if I can make this look nice in Desktop too.

I'll loop back with this thread in a couple days to let you all know what I ended up finding out.

To me, that "same layer" approach sounds really tedious.  Especially because the pixel-perfect behavior you manage to accomplish in Desktop isn't always the same pixel-perfect behavior that you get after publishing to Server.

 

Actually same layer approach works quite fine even when published and it's much easier to build compared to that you have several layers which you are trying to put in right order.

I haven't shared my workbooks just because I'm not sure is this something that Tableau likes

I've just noticed that I'm taking advantage of the "not blocked in server" behavior in my TC14-Television vis.

If server behaved like desktop, then it wouldn't be possible to enter your logon credentials or press the play button.

Hi Ville,

In the meantime, if you could post an example of your "all in the same layer" approach ?

I'm working on this right now & it would be useful to have as an example.  Also, we can't be certain that Tableau would come back to us and confirm the "not blocked in server" approach is valid.

Thanks!

Are you using 8.2?

Yes!

Hi Ville,

The workbook you've sent me is certainly interesting!  Maybe the best way to explain it would be to record a Tableau Request Live video & upload it to Vimeo for everyone to see ?

Taking the workbook apart & looking thru the pieces, I can see there's a lot going on.  But the mechanics would be best explained in person.

Thanks!

Hello thats a really nice video, however I would like to know how did you create the parameter "sales" and "profit" ? thanks

Hi Ville,

Would you be willing share a copy of the workbook from your video demonstration?

Thanks,

Bobby

Hi  Dan Huff, I'm curious to learn whether you were able to confirm that Server will always behave like Desktop (with the ability to "click thru" the empty space in vertical containers) ?  It would also be nice if possible to make Desktop behave in this same way, as well.

Also, for everyone: I've got this new challenge now.  : Inverse Sheet Popping.  Or, How to "pop" a worksheet when nothing exists ?

Any creative ideas ?

Thanks!
