TinyTableauTip – Summer Guest Host Series

Guest Host: Heidi Kalbe – Pagination & Self-Deactivating Buttons

The TinyTableauTip summer series is back with another fantastic guest host from the Tableau community! I’m thrilled to welcome Heidi Kalbe, a long-time friend and frequent co-presenter at Tableau Conference over the years.

Heidi is known for her creative problem-solving, elegant dashboard designs, and her ability to make advanced techniques look effortless — and in this tip, she brings just that.

📚 Pagination with Dynamic Zone Visibility

Ever had too many sheets to fit neatly in a dashboard? Instead of overwhelming users with all views at once, Heidi shows how to use Dynamic Zone Visibility to create seamless pagination between different views — allowing your audience to flip through them just like pages in a book. It’s slick, efficient, and user-friendly.

🔘 Bonus: The “Self-Deactivating” Button Hack

As a bonus, Heidi shares one of her favorite UI tricks — a button that de-selects itself after being clicked. This clever workaround creates a smoother, more intuitive user experience.
