How View URLs Are Structured in Tableau
This is the URL pattern that gets generated when you publish a view to Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud.
By default, Tableau generates URLs based on a specific structure.
- Default Site
http://<servername>/#/views/<workbook>/<sheet> - Multi-site
http://<servername>/#/site/<sitename>/views/<workbook>/<sheet>

When creating workbook, dashboard, or sheet names in Non-English characters, the following pattern is applied.
<servername>and<sitename>will reflect the values you've set.- The text you assign to
<workbook>and<sheet>will be modified according to these rules:- English letters remain unchanged
- Numbers stay the same
- Non-English characters are excluded
- Spaces are removed
- Underscores (_) and dashes (-) are preserved
- Periods (.) are replaced with underscores (_)
- Other special characters are removed
- If, after these rules are applied, the name is either duplicated or empty, an underscore (_) and a random 16-character string will be added.
💡
Renaming a workbook, dashboard, sheet, or data source on Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud won’t affect the URL—it stays the same.
