Choose Help > Settings and Performance > Set Dashboard Web View Security, and set the options below. (In some organizations, these options are controlled across all machines by a Tableau administrator.)

With the Image object, you can either insert image files into dashboards or link to images posted on the web. In either case, you can specify a URL the image opens when clicked, adding interactivity to your dashboard.

Click the object to select it. Then click the arrow in the upper corner to open the shortcut menu. (The menu options vary depending on the object.)

Note: When viewing a published dashboard, simply clicking a button navigates or exports. When authoring a dashboard, however, you need to Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (macOS).

Note: When you replace a sheet, Tableau retains any padding, border, or background color. However, you may need to adjust sheet size if content differs significantly. You may also need to delete dashboard items specific to the previous sheet, such as filters, which become blank.

Note: For security reasons, your Tableau administrator may prevent Web Page and Image objects from displaying target URLs.

Tip: In addition to the menu commands described below, you can also use the standard keyboard shortcuts for copying and pasting on your operating system.

Note: URLs for web-based images require the HTTPS prefix for improved security. For image URLs with other prefixes, use the Web Page object.

As a best practice, use HTTPS (https://) in your URLs. This ensures that the connection from your dashboard to the web page is encrypted. Also, if Tableau Server is running HTTPS and you use HTTP in the URL, your users' browsers won't be able to display the web page that the URL points to. If you don't specify a protocol, HTTP will be assumed.

Note: Copied Show/Hide buttons may target the original object or be disabled. For instructions on how to fix this, see Show and hide objects by clicking a button.

Click the object to select it. Then click the arrow in the upper corner to open the shortcut menu. (The menu options vary depending on the object.)

In addition to sheets, you can add dashboard objects that add visual appeal and interactivity. Here's guidance about each type:

Navigation and Download objects have several unique options that help you visually indicate a navigation destination or file format.

You can copy and paste objects either within the current dashboard, or from dashboards in other sheets and files. You can even copy objects between Tableau Desktop and Tableau in your web browser.

When a floating object is hidden, it simply reveals any objects beneath it. Show/Hide buttons can be particularly helpful when you want to temporarily hide a floating group of filters to reveal more of a visualization.

Note: When viewing a published dashboard, simply clicking a Show/Hide button toggles object visibility. When authoring a dashboard, however, you need to Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (macOS).
