Is there a way to hide views until a button is pushed?

Giselle Miller Jul 12, 2018 7:37 AM

I'm creating a ReadMe Dashboard template for my company with things like the workbook purpose, our logo, a description of the views, etc. The last things on the Dashboard we want is a button to acknowledge a user has read the ReadMe. We know that no one reads them but at least with a button acknowledgement we're off the hook . I've been up and down the forums and help areas and haven't seen any reference to essentially hiding the views until the button is clicked. Has anyone done this before?

Thanks!

Maybe... I need to tinker with it a little. I don't want the buttons to add to the current view/Dashboard, I want to take the user to that view. Thanks!!

Hi Giselle,

So in a sense, are you looking for a navigation button?
ie clicking on one button will take you to another view/dashboard?

Thanks,

Sort of. I want the ReadMe Dashboard to be the only sheet visible until the acknowledgement button is pushed. Then the workbook can be navigated. It’s forcing the user to click before he/she can see any data. That’s what I’m trying to figure out how to do.

Thanks!

Hi Giselle,

Hmm interesting, would this option help? Password set for tableau dashboard

So this method means that only the person who enters the correct password can access and view the dashboard.

I guess this is essentially saying they have authorisation to view it?

Thanks,
