*The Trick* is to use a transparent PNG image. Next, you need to select an image for your button. In the “Navigate to” option, select the dashboard you want to navigate to when the button is pressed. Right-click on your Button object and click edit. Place the same number of buttons as text objects. Place your Button objects into your container. This isn’t necessary just my personal preference. This helps the users know which Tab they are on. For the Dashboard you are currently on, format the Text object to make it visually stand out. We are going to put our Button objects in there. Float another Horizontal Container onto the Dashboard. You know it is selected when a blue border appears around the container. To distribute items evenly within a layout container, select the container, click the down arrow, and choose “Distribute Evenly”. Tableau should automatically space the text objects evenly, but you can adjust/override this by right-clicking on an individual text object and selecting “Edit Width”. I like to put the names of each dashboard in the Text objects and center align them, but you can put whatever text makes sense for your design. If you want vertical navigation, follow these steps and replace Horizontal Container with Vertical Container. In this example, I am placing it in the top-right corner of a dashboard. Drag a Horizontal Container onto the dashboard wherever you want your navigation bar to be. How to Make a Navigation Bar with Buttons in Tableau Setting up the containersīy the end of this post, you will be able to create a seamless top navigation in Tableau using the Button and Text dashboard objects. This post will walk through the steps for creating a navigation bar, configuring your buttons, and tweaking the design to provide a seamless look within a Tableau dashboard. We can combine multiple buttons together to simulate a modern nav bar. Buttons allow users to easily navigate to target dashboards/worksheets with a simple click. While we don’t yet have a Navigation Bar object, we do (as of Tableau Desktop 2018.3) have a Dashboard Button object.
