One named as Superstore – Overview another Superstore – Shipping.ġ. In the visualisation above, Sample Superstore Dashboard has two different dashboards published to Tableau Public. And smaller XML file size means faster rendering time of the dashboard. This way the outer Frame is just a light weight dashboard, which is a small size XML, because the real content is in the separate Frames which are introduced as an iFrame in the main dashboard Frame. With the help of iFrame it is easy for us to combine separately published different dashboards together into a single dashboard, which is the outer Frame. In our case, we would add a Tableau dashboard from the server which was published separately. And within the Web Object you can add the any web content, for example, any online video or a document.

Now, the real challenge is the performance of the dashboard, when you combine all of the visualisation under a single workbook.
