Summary


Congratulations! This chapter was one of the longest while being one of the most important. Building Dashboards is an essential feature of Tableau. 

We started with the basics of how to build a Dashboard and the different panes in the workplace, we also saw the objects that you can add to personalize it. Then, we explored the different types of Layout with all the pros and cons of Tiled, Floating, and Containers. To finish with the Dashboard part, we focused on Actions, how to use them, and how they can add interactivity. After that, we learned about Stories. You learned how, and when, to build and customize them.

In the next chapter, we'll discover a new Tableau product: Tableau Server. All the things you learned from the beginning of the book were about creation—how to create Data Sources, how to create Worksheets, and how to create Dashboards and Stories. The next chapter is about sharing; we'll look at how to publish your work to make it globally accessible. Ready to go online...
