There are many different types of Tableau dashboards, including: Scorecard dashboards: to track key performance indicators (KPIs). Analytical dashboards: to perform detailed data analysis. Operational dashboards: to monitor real-time data. Strategic dashboards: to track long-term trends and performance.

Within Tableau, there are several options regarding how we build our dashboard: size, tiled, floating and containers.

There are two types of Dashboard extensions: Network-enabled and Sandboxed. Sandboxed extensions are more secure as they are publicly hosted by Tableau in a protected environment, and don’t make any network calls outside of this environment.

Horizontal and Vertical objects provide layout containers that let you group related objects together and fine-tune how your dashboard resizes when users interact with them. Text objects can provide headers, explanations, and other information. Image objects add to the visual flavor of a dashboard, and you can link them to specific target URLs.
