Bonita Ysen (Member) asked a question.
I'm looking to you all within the community to see what types of solutions I receive based on what I need here.
- I have a dashboard that my company would like to display on a big screen but have it scroll every 30 seconds to the next tab.
- Additionally, is there a way to insert a view of a PDF on a slide and have it automatically update weekly based on the new PDF?
Looking for any possibilities, work arounds and solutions out there!

Hi @Bonita Ysen (Member)
How did you get on with this in the end? Did you try one of the options and/or speak to your account manager? If so I'd love to hear back. The TABCMD option is quite cool if you didn't try it. You write a command line script to use TABCMD to extract of an image of a dashboard and move it to a location your big screen can serve from. Add the image into one of the browser tabs. And use Revolver (or similar) to cycle through tabs.

If any of this helped you solved your problem you can select one of the answers as "best" to help people in the future by the way.
We have something similar - showing some Tableau Server content and SSRS content on a big screen in our office. What we've done is:
- Ensured the user that the box/screen is logged in as has access to the content in both environments (does annoyingly consume a Tableau Server Viewer license)
- Opened each view / report in a separate tab in Google Chrome
- Used a Google Chrome browser plugin (like "Revolver" perhaps - I can't recall the exact one) to automatically cycle through the tabs.
- We could load a PDF into Confluence and display that on another tab too. So if you have somewhere "web accessible" that you can have your PDF and access it from the web browser that might work for you.
Let me know if this helps.

This will likely violate your license unless you are specifically licensed for this use case. Be very careful.
Ah in case our account manager is reading this and I've misunderstood ... auto-correct accidentally mangled the suggestion to "use TABCMD + a scheduled script to produce static images of the views you want to show, and move them to an area that the browser can access, and then display from there".
Bonita Ysen (Member)
Haven't solved for this yet, however, it's on my list of tasks to accomplish (priorities shifted).
I'm definitely going to look into the TABCMD to see how that might work. Thanks for your reply!
We were able to download tinytask.net which was a free web program and with easy instructions to display the dashboards in our hub. We have to go in and adjust some of the views a bit, however, this is what solved this.
Nice one! I'm glad you got it sorted @Bonita Ysen (Member)
