Re-Upload - Tableau Next Dashboard Experience [Reposted]

Tableau Next finally lets you build buttons and actions without sets and hidden sheets, and that genuinely made me happy.

  • Pulse-style metrics in Tableau Next are standalone objects: you can drop them onto a dashboard as equal citizens, but you can't use a metric definition to build a visualisation.
  • Dashboard interactivity is largely automatic because the semantic model drives cross-filtering by default, removing the old cross-data-source action setup.
  • Tableau Next supports structured containers and linked (synchronised) assets but does not allow floating or overlaying objects.
  • Buttons and actions are far simpler to set up than in Tableau Desktop, supporting navigation to another dashboard, another page or a URL without building hidden sheets or set actions.
  • The grid layout feels constrained compared to Sigma's fluid canvas, which auto-rearranges objects and reclaims space when you move things around.
