Now the lower objects will now scale relative to the width of the dashboard. And because we aligned them to a known position (300px from the left of a 1000px dashboard), it will retain the proportions. It will duplicate one of the horizontal containers and also create a new tiled object, it’s this new tiled object that allows the objects inside to resize proportionally. This will allow us to snap-align the lower objects to match the position of the upper objects. If we click and drag to the left, the border surrounding the two blanks changes from being a single dark blue border surrounding both, to two separate dark blue borders, we also get a small black triangle indicator. Hovering over the boundary between the lower two blanks gives us the option to manually resize them.
#TABLEAU DASHBOARD FULL#
Try resizing your browser and refreshing, or viewing the dashboard full screen to see aspects of the layout scaling with the browser width.įirst, the width of one of the blanks in the top container is fixed to 300 pixels, this is 30% of the current dashboard width. Click the image below to view the interactive dashboard. To give you an idea of what you can do, here’s a dashboard I made earlier. But this does go some way towards responsive design. We won’t be able to make charts and objects change position with the browser window, and we can’t get fonts to scale. …using HTML and CSS to automatically resize, hide, shrink, or enlarge a website, to make it look good on all devices (desktops, tablets, and phones):īefore we go into this in more detail, this does not recreate “true” responsive design in Tableau. What if it does have a use that relates to responsive web design and isn’t just there to make your dashboard hierarchy untidy?īut before we explore tiled containers, what is responsive web design? It’s defined by w3 schools as: And as everyone agrees, you always want to avoid the dreaded tiled container object.
So you’ve watched Curtis Harris’ video on Tableau layout containers, you’re no longer team float, and you’re comfortable with vertical & horizontal containers. Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Tiled Containers
