Unfinished Vizness Iron Viz Tip #8 ♿ Make It Accessible Accessibility isn’t garnish—bake it in. Add alt text, use readable font sizes (>=12pt), limit text-as-images. Everyone deserves a seat at the table Watch our Iron Viz tips: youtube.com/watch?v=NnSoB1Uw… #IronViz #InclusiveDesign

This one gets me every time! Resizing an already well developed floating layout #ironviz entry 😬 A bit like when a feast is all set out on the table and someone remembers you still need to fit the potatoes and sauce on! Luckily @hthr_cox and @ScottKimly have you covered

Unfinished Vizness Iron Viz Tip #6 🧩 Control the Kitchen Chaos Plan your layout before it boils over. Floating elements are great until you resize the dashboard-then it’s a food fight. Copy your viz before resizing. Watch our Iron Viz tips: youtube.com/watch?v=NnSoB1Uw… #IronViz

Unfinished Vizness Iron Viz Tip #2 ❤️ Pick a Topic That Feeds You The theme might be food, but your real ingredient is passion. Choose a topic that you’ll still want to “taste-test” after the twelfth late night. Watch our Iron Viz tips: youtube.com/watch?v=NnSoB1Uw… #IronViz #DataFam

Sounds like votes are open just a little bit longer if you didn’t yet get your #thevizzies nominations in yet! A great way to reflect on a year of cool content and those that have helped you or others in the Tableau community 🗳️

Ok, #datafam, this is you last call for #thevizzies nominations, I've taken a look at the data and in most categories there are only a handful of votes in it, so use them before you loose them. Who will win at #tc25 #tableau bit.ly/thevizzies

A “better” LOD equivalent of RANK / INDEX in #Tableau, using spatial functions 🗺️. I hope you never have to use it in a production dashboard 😬, but it’s a fun ongoing challenge! 🤓 bitfern.co.nz/blog/lod-equiv…

Can you share some deets on unfinished Tableau projects #datafam? We all see the wealth of amazing published and shared work… but how many awesome ideas never see the light of day? @hthr_cox and I are keen to hear more, and we think it could really help the community!
Heather Cox @hthr_cox

What @Tableau experiments have the #datafam started but abandoned because the idea didn't work? Have you started something, but shelved it as a failure? A current investigation has me wondering what we can learn from each other by sharing what didn't work.

Considering participating in #IronViz? The new version of the Colour Manager for @tableau might be helpful. Lots of UX improvements with drag&drop support for palettes and all colours. Also, now with #Datafam Colors! vizku.nz/cmt/ (1/x)
