All in Dynamic Zone Visibility

Ever wanted your end-users to be able to build the charts they want to see in their dashboards? You can!

... to some extent at least! Using parameters, we can give a lot of control to our end users, to control things like what measure they want to see, selected dimensions, and even chart type if we incorporate things like Dynamic Zone Visibility. It's possible to put a lot of control into our end-users hands, while not wanting to overwhelm them.

Do you want to show and hide sheets on your dashboard with only a click? Dynamic Zone Visibility lets you do exactly that. This is far more dynamic than filter actions, as we can show or hide any number of sheets and their elements from a single interaction.

There are a few key steps to getting this right, so follow along to see how to implement this into your dashboards too!

In the past, swapping worksheets in a Tableau dashboard has been possible but frustrating. Using a parameter, we could swap out worksheets, but it was really difficult to also swap out any filters, parameters, or legends attached to those worksheets.

Now, with Tableau’s Dynamic Zone Visibility, that’s all changed! Dynamic Zone Visibility allows us to switch between multiple connected elements on a dashboard, from single worksheets, to multiple worksheets; from a certain set of parameters to another; or from one worksheet with its legends, filters, and parameters, to another.
