HI Mark - love the idea. We're thinking along similar lines, but one thing I'm not sure of, is how you make this view the first page you'd land on when navigating to your server - out of the box we can see you can make the contents of a project or workbook the default page for any users but not a specific view. Is there something custom you have to configure to do this?

Dwight Taylor Nov 10, 2013 9:52 PM (in response to Mark Jackson)Hi Mark, I have a few questions. Am I correct that the landing page lives on a web server "other" than the Tableau Server, then once a link is clicked the user is hyper linked to Tableau Server pages?

Dwight Taylor Nov 11, 2013 9:43 AM (in response to Mark Jackson)Ahhhh, got it. Tableau slight of hand. Am I correct that you redirect the Tableau default home page to the URL of the Dashboard?

Mark Jackson Nov 11, 2013 9:47 AM (in response to Dwight Taylor)Dwight - I do that at our intranet application portal, which is how 95% of people get to Tableau Server. I'm not worried about the other 5% because they are likely already advanced users.

Mark Jackson Nov 11, 2013 9:49 AM (in response to Mark Jackson)I've had several requests to upload the .twbx file for this, so I attached it to the original post. Please note that you will need to re-direct the connection to your own server to get it to work correctly. This isn't the full final, but you'll get the idea.

You'll also need v8.1 :-( Is this available to anyone to get the beta version of yet or just those who were at Washington...?

Mark Jackson Nov 12, 2013 4:05 AM (in response to Donna Coles)I expect 8.1 will be available to everyone in a couple of weeks. I only used 8.1 because I needed transparent buttons due to my design.

paul.chapman Dec 30, 2013 11:49 PM (in response to Mark Jackson)Hi Mark,
Thats very impressive, something I have been trying to think about how to do as we have just installed a shiny new server and wanted the landing page to be a better view than the standard offering.

14. Re: Make your own custom Tableau Server landing page
Heather Campbell Jan 13, 2014 11:17 AM (in response to Mark Jackson)This is great - lots of useful tricks! We've just put together a landing page and will directly link our intranet site to it. I use the tableau icon (top left) whenever I'm in a dash to quickly get back to the default server page and I know there is no way to make a workbook the default start page right now. So what's the best way to help the casual user back to the custom landing page once they are in another dashboard?
