how do I hide the little drop-down menus on a Tableau worksheet used as a button....
See picture...
Everything is working perfectly in Tableau Desktop, but in Reader I get these drop-downs that I don't want the user to see or have to be bothered by?
The buttons don't show this if i a browsing through them in Desktop--only in Tableau Reader.
Are you able to see the picture? Let me know, if not.
Thanks.
Those controls should go away when the dashboard is put into presentation mode by clicking this icon.

I am building a dashboard in tableau that navigates to different worksheets. I am wondering if there is a way to add a back button to a worksheet. I have thought of one way using an action filter menu, but that method is not very user friendly. Is there a way to get a button or something more obvious to the user? Thanks
You can only add navigation button with action filter. There is no other way to add button till now. I hope tableau soon add the official way to add button in the dashboard.
I want to hide the title("CT School Districts by Income and Grade Level Equivalents, 2009-13") of view when I display it on iframe. Should I change the src?
<iframe src="https://public.tableau.com/views/CTSchoolDistrictsbyIncomeandGradeLevels2009-13/Sheet1?:embed=y&:display_count=yes&:toolbar=n&:showVizHome=no"
width="645" height="955"></iframe>
In the Tableau menu, go to Worksheet and deselect "Show Title". Then re-save and re-publish to the server to get rid of the title.
There is no way to remove title from the shared link.
Just edit and republish dashboard.
Sometimes the menu bar (with menu items for DASHBOARD, SOLUTIONS, CATALOG, PRICING, etc.) at the top of the Bluemix masthead disappears when I re-size my browser window. How can I access these menu items when running with limited screen space and a narrow browser window?
The functions move to the "hamburger" menu selector in the upper left corner based on the responsive design
This is on purpose. The Bluemix console has a responsive design so features degrade as the browser window gets smaller. This is on par with what bootstrap does.
If you have any feature suggestions please leave it as a comment below and I can get it to our design team.

I know how to navigate to a hidden sheet from a dashboard and select "Unhide Sheet" by right-clicking on the temporarily revealed sheet's tab. The online documentation from Tableau's website is clear enough.
Question:
However, how can I unhide the sheet if it isn't a part of a dashboard? Put another way, how can I navigate to a hidden sheet if it was hidden before it was added to a dashboard?
Tableau will not allow you to hide a sheet if it is not a part of at least one dashboard. Looking at your dashboard tabs, it may not be immediately clear where the sheet is, but it is there.
You may need to look at the list of sheets in the Dashboard Side Bar for each dashboard, one-by-one, until you find the sheet in question. If the Dashboard Sidebar is not showing, or if you're not certain what it looks like, click "Window" at the top of your Desktop Edition and see to it that "Show Side Bar" has a checkmark next to it.
It is not possible to remove a sheet from a dashboard without unhiding it, or deleting it:
And, the option to hide a sheet which is not part of a dashboard is not available.
By using the tabs in the top right of Tableau Desktop, it may be more easy to identify the sheet which is thought to be hidden
I've created a query to use in an AutoCompleteBox and it works as expected when the user select the AutoCompleteBox in the grid as shown in the picture below
However if the user click the plus button to add a new record using the predefined Add Dialog then the query and the AutoCompleteBox's format doesn't work as shown in the picture below
Why is this happening and how I can fix that?
Thanks
I haven't yet found a way to edit the default Add New dialog.
Instead, make a new screen, select the "New Data Screen" template, and link it to your entity data. You can customize the screen to fit your needs, even make it a Modal Window by changing the Control Type in the screen properties. Once you have the screen set up the way you want, go back to your grid screen, and double click on the Add... command in the Command Bar of your grid, to edit the AddAndEditNew_Execute code. In that method, call your custom screen.
So, as I got to thinking about this some more, I came back to the thought I had when I tried to do this a few months ago. There has to be a better way, so I Googled it again.
This time, I found something. He's using an old version of Lightswitch, but I've successfully applied his technique in my application built in Lightswitch 2012.
