Most pages on Tableau Server have a collection of navigation links on the left side of the page. These links help you browse the published views and quickly jump to common filtered lists.
Each of the navigation areas are described below.
If you are logged in as an administrator, the first navigation area contains links to administrative pages including Users, Groups, Projects, and Connections. If you are logged in as a System Administrator this area also includes links to the Licensing and Maintenance pages. The Administration navigation area can be collapsed by clicking the arrow button on the left side of the title.
The projects area links to a list of projects on the server. A project is a collection of related workbooks. Administrators create and maintain projects. Refer to Managing Projects to learn more about administering projects.
The workbooks area contains links to common lists of workbooks on the server. You can view All workbooks that you have permission to see or sort the list by Date, Project, or Publisher.
The views area contains links to common lists of views on the server. You can view All views that you have permission to see or sort the list by Date, Project, or Publisher.
The recently used area contains links to the last eight views and workbooks that you opened on the server. You can collapse this navigation area by clicking the arrow button on the left side of the title.
The favorites areas contains links to views and workbooks you've marked as a favorite. You can mark any view or workbook as one of your favorites so you can quickly find it in the future. Refer to Favorites to learn more about how to add and remove favorites. You can collapse this navigation area by clicking the arrow button on the left side of the title.
The data sources area lists all the data sources that have been published to the server.
If a System Administrator has made the users' list public, the Users area links to a list that shows all registered users on the server. You can click on users in the list to see the workbooks they published, comments they've made, and tags they've created.
