Re-order layout items in web authoring: New in Tableau 2021.3

0:00Hey it's Tim here, in Tableau Web Authoring

0:02you can now reorder layout objects on the

0:05left hand

0:05side in the layout pane. I'll just jump

0:07into Tableau and show you. So here I'm on

0:10Tableau

0:10Online, I'm going to open up the default

0:13Superstore sales book and I'll go into the

0:15overview pane and

0:17we'll immediately get into the dashboard

0:18editing view so I can show you this feature

0:20. It's a very

0:20small thing but if you do a lot of editing

0:23in WebEdit you might actually find this

0:25useful. So

0:26here I am, I'm on a dashboard, everything's

0:28set up. Now I will say this, Web Authoring

0:30seems to be

0:31very zippy in this release. I'm on Tableau

0:33Online which has already been upgraded and

0:35I have to say

0:36the load times for the standard dashboards

0:39are just lightning fast, maybe because they

0:41're simple,

0:41maybe because they've been optimized by

0:43Tableau secretly in the background, who

0:44knows, but it's

0:45definitely a zippier interface.

0:47Nevertheless let's go to the layout pane,

0:49for this I'm going to go

0:50over to the top left here, you can see it

0:52says layout and let's go ahead and click on

0:54that and

0:55when we get there you can see there's

0:57really nasty sort of hierarchy of items

0:59down here, so it's all

1:00the way down here in the bottom left. Not

1:02enough people use this, I think it's a

1:04really great way

1:05of moving content around without messing

1:07with everything here on the right hand side

1:09. So let

1:10me show you how that works. What I'm going

1:12to do is I'm going to take this chart here,

1:14this monthly

1:14sales by product category and move it down

1:17so that it goes below this chart. So this

1:20chart will go to

1:21the top and this will go down. Now you can

1:22see that I've got it selected, you can see

1:24I've got

1:24this sort of gray box going around it here,

1:27that basically means it's selected and when

1:29it's

1:29selected I can see that it's selected by

1:31looking over here on the left hand side. If

1:34you can't see

1:34your selection you need to scroll down and

1:36make sure that you can see it there and

1:38then you'll

1:38be able to do that. So what I'll do is I'll

1:40just scroll down and again I'm focusing now

1:42down here

1:43on the left hand side and what I'm going to

1:45do is I'm going to grab my sales by segment

1:47and you can

1:47see the selection changes on the screen as

1:50I switch between these two and I'm going to

1:52drag

1:52the sales by segment above the sales by

1:55product and that didn't quite work so we're

1:58going to try

1:58it again. I think I didn't let go of it in

2:00the right place so let's go drag it down

2:02here. Now

2:02you can see that line does trigger a lot

2:04better and you can see that the order of

2:06those two changes.

2:07So here I am doing that in WebEdit, that's

2:09essentially it, that's a new feature. It's

2:12funny

2:12how these small things are features but

2:14they're important because the closer we get

2:17to parity with

2:17Tableau Desktop the more likely you are to

2:20not have to open desktop to get using Table

2:22au. So

2:23that's pretty much it from me on this one

2:25be sure to check out some of my other

2:27videos on this

2:28release Tableau21.3 and also be sure to

2:30check out TableauTim.com to find out lots

2:32of other videos

2:34with features and capabilities about Table

2:36au. Alright thanks for watching and I'll

2:37catch you

2:38in the next one.
