Custom folder images on Tableau Online

Long time since I added any content here, but since I had to publish these images somewhere public to be able to use them, I figured I write a blog post about the process. I wanted to make our Tableau Online site more user-friendly by using custom images for the folders. The artwork was made by my colleagues at Bitrise, I only rearranged the pieces in Illustrator, so that they look nice on the server as cover images. Let’s see how the Explore page and the subfolders within Production look now:

What are the steps you need to follow to customize your site?

1. Create 1200 x 740 px (or equivalent ratio) images, and pay attention that the top right corner will be cut-off due to the folder shape

2. Make sure you store these images somewhere public

3. Navigate to the project that you want to add a cover image to, and click on the information button next to its name

4. Click on the Edit button next to the About section, and add the link of the image in between exclamation marks

5. You can check the other formatting tips by opening the Show formatting hints option

Hit save, and you’re ready to go!
