How to get more than 1 'desktop' device preview?

Carlo Lenting Jan 9, 2017 7:19 AM

Hello peeps,

This past 5 months I have been playing around with Tableau. And was able to figure a lot out on my own.

By using the tutorials, community and other information sources to get everything done in Tableau.

This part I struggle with, I want to create a dashboard with multiple "Desktop Layouts"

I want to have the following "device layouts":

- FullHD one for use on desktop.

- 1366x768 for laptops

- 1024x768 for the beamer.

But I am only able to use one desktop layout, anyone got a workaround for this?

or am I doing something wrong here?

Used Tableau Version is:

Desktop Professional Ediion 10.1.1 (10100.16.1103.2343) 64-bit.

Thanks all for your help!

Hi

Don't know if this will help but have you tried setting up sheets each with a custom layout - (T10.1)
See screen print
Let me know if this is what you want?

Oke, if I read this correct, you suggest to duplicate the sheets I want to have different device views for?
And then make a device view on each sheet/dashboard for desktop.

But this will increase the maintance work, for the certain workbook.
But I assume that from your message I can concluded that having multiple desktops views is not possible?

Something like this:

Thanks for your reply!

Hi
Its all I know how to do - if you find a different solution please post it

Also if your maintenance is just an update to date then the data refresh should update all worksheets -
If you have to change a parameter you should be able to do that on a single sheet
