Dashboard Objects
This allows you to bring different elements onto the Dashboard.
- Horizontal and Vertical: Objects provide layout containers that let you group related objects together and fine-tune how
your dashboard resizes when users interact with them. - Text: Objects can provide headers, explanations, and other information.
- Image: objects add to the visual flavor of a dashboard, and you can link them to specific target URLs.
- Web Page: Objects display target pages in the context of your dashboard. Be sure to review these web security options,
and be aware that some web pages don't allow themselves to be embedded—Google is one example. - Blank: Objects help you adjust spacing between dashboard items.
- Navigation: Objects let your audience navigate from one dashboard to another, or to other sheets or stories. You can
display text or an image to indicate the button's destination to your users, specify custom border and background colors,
and provide informational tooltips. - Download: Objects let your audience quickly create a PDF file, PowerPoint slide, or PNG image of an entire dashboard, or
a crosstab of selected sheets. Formatting options are similar to Navigation objects. - Extension: Objects let you add unique features to dashboards or integrate them with applications outside Tableau.
