User Guides for Tableau

October 22, 2023

App-like features in the platform

To enhance user experience and provide a more app-like interface, Tableau has introduced an innovative approach: an embedded user guide displayed as an image overlay on the dashboard itself. This image features the dashboard along with comprehensive instructions on how to navigate it and utilize its various features. This integrated approach significantly improves user navigation, interactivity, and overall comprehension of the dashboard.

User guides are essential tools for helping users navigate and make the most of dashboard applications. Dashboards are typically used to present data and analytics in an organized and visually appealing manner, and a well-designed user guide can improve user adoption, reduce confusion, and enhance the overall user experience.

Typically, user guides are presented as a separate tab within the workbook or provided as an attachment when sharing a report. Users often need to toggle between these tabs to access instructions on how to use the dashboard effectively.
