Managing your profile

In order to view your work on the Internet, you need to go to Tableau Public's website and log in. From there, you can share your work with others, download it, promote it on social media, and also delete it, should the need arise.

  1. On your Internet browser, go to http://public.tableau.com.
  2. In the upper-right corner, click on SIGN IN, as shown in the following screenshot:

  3. Enter the credentials that you used to create your account.

The destination page that you reach when you login is your profile page. This is where all the dashboards that you created are organized. It is also a great place for you to add information about yourself. You can add links to your Twitter and LinkedIn accounts as well as the blogs or corporate websites that you would like to promote. (It's important to make sure that you have the permission before presenting URLs of organizations of which you're not an associate).

Managing your profile

You can change settings related to specific workbooks by hovering over them. As your catalogue of work grows, you should curate it by being selective about which visualizations are featured.

When you roll over any of the thumbnails for a specific visualization, you can do several things; the following are a few of these things:

  1. First, on the upper right-hand side, select MAKE FEATURED to make it the featured visualization, which will move it to the upper-most left spot on your profile.
  2. On the upper right-hand side, you can change the visibility settings.

    Note

    This does not prevent people from searching for your visualization, and you also cannot control the permissions regarding who can see it.

  3. On the lower right-hand side, you can delete workbooks. This is a good idea in case you would like to delete the earlier iterations of a finished product, but keep in mind that you don't have the file saved on your computer. So, be judicious when using the Delete button.
  4. On the lower right-hand side, you will see the workbook name and the number of views that it has.

    Note

    A view is each visit to the page by a browser. So, if you go to the workbook five times a day, that's five views. Note that this is not the number of unique visitors.

  5. Then, above the workbook name, you can download the workbook.
  6. At the center, you have the View option in case you wish to view the workbook, as shown in the following screenshot:
