File The file type links to a file that has been uploaded to the site. See the File section for more information. Keyword The keyword type is used to create a link to a listing of content tagged with a specified keyword. Menu Page The menu page type allows you to enter the name of a menu item. The menu link will then take you to a page that displays all of the dashboards directly under (one menu level) the specified menu item. Similar to a keyword page. Project The project type is used to mark the spot within the navigation where Dashboards will be synced to from the chosen Project. These Dashboards will be created and configurable in the Dashboards area of the Backend. Note that the project link will place all Dashboards as siblings to itself. More info on this can be found here. Projects The projects type will automatically find all the available Workbooks from the specified Site for the logged in user and places links to view them within Curator in the navigation, organized beneath dropdown placeholders named after the Project they came from. This will not add Dashboards to the Curator backend as opposed to the project type. Note: if the user has access to many Workbooks (Site Admin or Server Admin) this will generate many links. Page The page type is used to link to a static page. See the Pages section for more information. Tag The tag type is used to automatically create links to any Tableau Server workbooks which have been tagged with a specific name. See the Tagged Workbooks section for more information. Web Edit The web edit type is used to create a link to the Tableau Server web editor for a specified Dashboard. Workbook The workbook link type imports in all of the dashboards from a workbook as menu items. It will also automatically pull in future dashboards added to the workbook. Workbooks The workbooks link type imports in all of the dashboards from all workbooks in a project as menu items. It will also automatically pull in future dashboards added to the project. Custom URL This link type is used to create a link to a custom URL. Extra options are provided to customize this like opening the link in a new tab or the same tab. External URL This link type is used to create a link to an external URL. This is a slimmed-down version of the Custom URL. NOTE: If you are adding a link that is external to your Curator instance, ensure that you prepend the proper protocol to your URL. For example, to add InterWorks.com use http://www.interworks.com, or https://www.interworks.com.
