Default Naming of Views on Tableau Server

September 15th, 2011 No comments

I have noticed that when publishing to Tableau server, dependent on what you publish, the view name can change. If you publish a worksheet on to the server the view name becomes the same as the sheet title and not the sheet name. If you publish a dashboard the view name remains the same as the dashboard name regardless of title.

The moral of the story is to only publish dashboards on the server – so put your worksheets on to a dashboard(s) before publishing to ensure a self explanatory user-friendly view name which should be easier for users to find.
