Hello Tableau Community,
In one of the workbooks I have been working on I created jump page actions between the dashboards. I did this so that a specific piece of criteria is held while navigating the dashboards. This is not possible with the standard tabs. I then published it to server without showing the sheets as tabs. Problem is every time I click a jump action button to a new dashboard it opens up in a new web page, but then when I republish it showing the sheets as tabs it doesn't open new web pages. I feel that showing the tabs and action tabs would be a bit confusing for the end user.
Why does this happen and is there any way around it?
Best,
Ryan Sparks
Hey Ryan,
I would try publishing the view with tabs showing but then use the url parameter ?:tabs=n to have tabs disappear. The viz should act as if it has tabs but have no tabs showing. I would then share this link with the parameter built in. I.e.
http://TableauServer/views/Dashboard/SalesQ1?:tabs=y
Let me know if this works/makes sense,
