A dashboard action should open a web page (e.g., a product page) when a user clicks a mark. Which action type is this?
A URL action navigates to a web address (optionally using field values) when a mark is clicked. A filter action (B) filters sheets, a highlight action (C) emphasizes marks, and a parameter action (D) updates a parameter value.
To let many users view and interact with a dashboard in a browser and keep data refreshed centrally, where should the author PUBLISH it?
Publishing to Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud provides browser-based access, permissions, and scheduled data refreshes for many users. Emailing a .twbx (B) is static per copy, and images (C)/CSV (D) aren't interactive.
On a dashboard, a user wants to add a company logo and a title text box. Which dashboard elements support this?
Dashboards support Objects like Image and Text (plus web page, blank, containers) that you drag onto the canvas — used for logos and titles. Calculated fields (C), data source filters (A), and bins (B) are data/analysis features, not layout objects.
Which statement about formatting a Tableau view is TRUE?
Tableau offers extensive formatting — fonts, colors, borders, number/date formats, tooltips — to improve readability without altering data. Formatting doesn't change data values (D), Tableau does allow it (B), and it applies to worksheets and dashboards (A).
A user wants to export a single view as a static image to paste into a slide. Which option is appropriate?
Exporting the view as an image produces a static picture suitable for slides/documents. A union (B), context filter (C), and data type change (D) are unrelated to exporting an image.
