![]() To pass a fixed value, the format of the URL parameter is as follows:įor example, to filter to show Motorbikes only, we would add the following to the end of the URL:īut we will make it dynamic so the value being filtered changes based on what we select in the source dashboard. The action is created the same way as before, but I’ll add a URL parameter at the end of the URL, which passes a filter value to the receiving dashboard. I’ll create a URL action to filter the receiving dashboard to the selected vehicle Type. Note, I’ve set the sending and receiving dashboards up with the same structure for simplicity, however, they could be completely different dashboards as long as there are matching values in the selected sending and receiving fields of each dashboard. The next step is to make the URL action more dynamic by passing filter values to the destination dashboard based on what we select in the sending dashboard. Clicking this link will again open the dashboard in Tableau Public that is specified in the URL. The link text is the same as the URL action name I entered when I created the URL action. Selecting any cell on the dashboard will show the tooltip with a link to trigger the URL action: When clicked, a browser should open to Tableau Public showing the specified dashboard:Ĭlick OK to save the URL action and now test the action from within the sending dashboard. Using Menu allows for multiple URL actions to be shown and clicked on separately as we’ll see later.īefore clicking OK to save the URL action, you can click the Test Link button to ensure the link is working. Finally paste in the URL of the dashboard that you want the URL action to open.įor the method of how the action will be triggered, I’m using Menu, which will add a link to the tooltip. Give a name to the URL action and select the Dashboard and Sheet that the URL Action will be triggered from as well as which method to trigger the action – in this case I’m using “Menu”. To create the URL action, select: Dashboard > Actions… I’ll use the URL of the published Receive dashboard as the target for a URL action. One for sending URL actions and another to receive those URL actions. I’ve uploaded two simple workbooks to Tableau Public that will be used throughout this blog post. If you have any spaces in your file name or dashboard name, these will be removed in the URL. On a standard Tableau Server, the structure is as follows:įor Tableau Public, which is the server I used while creating this post, it’s like this: But first let’s break down the structure of a URL that points to a published Tableau workbook. This post will look at some examples of the above and provide links to published dashboards on Tableau Public where you can test out the functionality. Generate an email and populate with fields from a dashboard.Open an external web page in a browser or in a Web Page object within a dashboard.Create a PDF or PNG file of a published dashboard.Create a CSV file of data from a published dashboard.Affect how a dashboard is displayed in a web page (such as hiding the Tableau toolbar).Pass filters to a dashboard (using AND or OR logic).Navigate to a different dashboard (in the same or different workbook).Learn more about how private browsing works.URL Actions provide functionality to do a number of useful things in Tableau, such as: Your activity isn’t hidden from websites you go to, your employer or school, or your internet service provider.Files you download and bookmarks you create are kept.Chrome doesn't save your browsing history, cookies and site data, or information entered in forms.Windows or Chrome OS: At the top right, click Close.On your computer, go to your Incognito window.If you see a number next to the Incognito icon at the top right, you have more than one Incognito window open. To exit Incognito mode, close all Incognito windows. ![]() If you have an Incognito window open and you open another one, your private browsing session will continue in the new window. Incognito mode runs in a separate window from your normal Chrome windows. Close Incognito mode to stop private browsing You can also choose to block third-party cookies when you open a new Incognito window. You'll only browse in private when you're using an Incognito window. You can switch between Incognito windows and regular Chrome windows.
