The Tableau Desktop Starter Kit on this page is a great place to get started: Newbie, Tableau Desktop

Shawn Wallwork Jan 6, 2015 2:02 PM (in response to Tracy Rodgers)Interesting.
Tracy I followed your link to the starter link (to the workbook). While I'm sure it will give me (us) links similar to Diego's Resources page, it strikes me as 'complex' and a bit dense. (I know that's because the forums themselves are extremely complex and dense!)
I think the reason I was attracted to Diego's page was that the layout/organization is very close to kettan's Ideas curation pages. I personally find Kettan's organization/design aesthetic quite refined and worthy of emulation -- it has a most definite 'Zen' quality about it.
Of course the main forums are a very complicated, multi-faceted behemoth of a place -- not easily curated. So a single page of headers with links to content won't encompass the necessary breadth of content. However I believe that using a 'drill-down' table-of-content page structure (based on Johan's design aesthetic) will be an excellent way of organizing our forums. This should (will) eventually turn into the Super Table of Content series of pages we need. It will be the best place for anyone to start their search for answers to their questions. And a great place for us Answerers to reference great (already written) content for the most common questions we know have been answered dozens of times before.
Tracy, if you have your team set up the drill-down structure, make a first pass at the content links, I'm sure all of us will be happy to help fill-in (and maintain) the 'best' answer links from there.
Cheers,
--Shawn

kettan Jan 12, 2015 3:45 AM (in response to Shawn Wallwork)My experience is that HTML pages are more pleasant, faster and smoother than Tableau workbooks, which is no surprise since Tableau isn't designed for this. Obvious pains are slow response times & small screen area. If users shouldn't force Tableau to imitate their solutions in Excel, that same argument could also be used about web solutions.
I believe you would like Tableau Starter Desktop Kit much more if it was converted to Diego's web format and also dislike Diego's resource page if it was only available in a shared packaged workbook. Are my beliefs true in this regard?
I definitely would like to have a similar solution for Desktop as Diego made for Server and even requested it in October in Learners' portal.
A complementary solution is to do what I suggested this morning in The specified item was not found..
