I am receiving the error above on a dashboard published to Tableau Server. All dashboards and worksheets are unhidden. This was the fix I found on Tableau help site.
I am using a GoTo Dashboard Action to send the user from the primary page to the first page of an overview.
The overview then has a Navigation Button which will try to send the user through a tutorial (a journey of inter-related dashboards all connected with Navigation Buttons).
As you may be able to see from this image, here is where the Navigation Button "breaks."
If I refresh the page this is on, it will give me permission:
HOWEVER:
If I log back in, I need to refresh the page again to resolve it.
Others (viewers and editors) are unable to make this work at all.
It does not seem to be a matter of group permissions: I am an admin and am still seeing this.
If we try accessing the page indirectly (using Server navigation rather than from the primary page's GoTo Dashboard action) the link appears visible (at least for me).
Similarly, the following dashboards in the tutorial can be accessed just fine.
Any thoughts as to what quirks might be causing this?
Thanks for your help!
@Diego Martinez fascinating... and a bit disappointing.
I have deconstructed this (reducing my complex view to just 3 filter-less dashboards):
- A graph with a Go To action applied to it...
- Page one of the Tutorial, with a Navigation button sending the user to
- Page two of the Tutorial, with a Navigation button sending the user to back to #1.
In the tab-less view, the navigation button breaks. Initially I thought it was because they were independent "sheets." But then I became positively stymied because, if I opened #2 independently, it worked just fine. This seemed very backwards.
I knew my client would object to tabs (they did so before, so no need to try to brave that battle again).
And the last thing I wanted to do was make lots of additional images and link them with URLS.
But I think I did manage to solve it. Here's how:
I was so focusing on the first page of the Tutorial I wasn't thinking about how we got there-- that naughty little dashboard go-to action I'd applied to the graph.
As it turned out, that little guy was the piece causing all the problems.
When I created a near-invisible* Navigation button and floated it over my text/image, the permissions worked just fine. I replaced my Dashboard Go To action entirely.
*it turns out you have to create a near invisible navigation button, because the button insists you have some sort of text (and a space doesn't count).
So... I think I got it. Is this a bug with the Dashboard Action Go To, or is it me?
