Interactive Infographics and Dashboards

Using Tableau Reader

The main function of Tableau Reader is to allow you to open and interact with Tableau dashboards, however it does offer a few tools that are helpful to know:

The arrows in the top-left are Undo and Redo buttons. You can use these to undo/redo any interaction with the dashboard.
Clicking File > Revert to Saved or pressing the F12 key will reset the dashboard to its original state.
Clicking File > Export As PowerPoint or File > Print to PDF allows you to export parts or all of the dashboard to a PowerPoint slideshow or a PDF document.
Under the Story or Dashboard dropdown menus, there are options for exporting or copying the page you are vieweing as an image.

Note that Tableau Reader is only for viewing and interacting with dashboards - it does not allow you to edit or extract data from them.
