Viewing your work online

When you view a workbook, you have several options at the top of the page.

From left to right, you can perform the following tasks:

  • Go back to your profile
  • Keep on clicking and go through other workbooks
  • Edit the details of the workbook that you have opened
  • Download the workbook, as shown in following screenshot:

If you scroll to the bottom of the dashboard, you have the following additional controls:

  1. Undo, Redo, and Reset any changes that you have made. For instance, if you have filtered your workbook and want to revert to the original state, just click on the Reset button.
  2. Share your work in the following way:
    • You can share the Current View, which includes filter conditions or parameter selections. Alternatively, you can share the Original View.
    • Embed Code allows you to copy an automatically generated block of HTML that you can use to embed the visualization on another web page. This code identifies the viewing attributes of your workbook, such as whether the toolbars are showing, the height and width of the workbook, and its title. For instance, if you want to embed the dashboard on your blog, you just need to copy the code. Then, in the management console of your blog, either insert the code directly, or create and then insert a snippet of HTML. If you have the capabilities, you can utilize Tableau Public's JavaScript API to embed the visualization in a webpage and then allow users to interact with it through web objects that are native to the source page. That's beyond the scope of this chapter though.
    • To share the workbook with others, you can copy the link as well as simply highlight and copy the text and then paste it into a new e-mail in the tool of your choice.
    • You also can share the workbook on Twitter or Facebook by clicking on either of the two buttons that open a pop-up on your browser and ask you to enter your credentials for the medium that you have selected, as shown in the following screenshot:

When you share your work via Twitter or Facebook, the description that you enter in the workbook details will automatically be populated, as shown in following screenshot. You can always change the description and remove the via @tableau string, but it's much more likely that people will find your tweet if you leave that tag:
