Consider Highlight Actions

Rationale

The VIZYUL™ Consider Highlight Actions best practice rule fires when a dashboard doesn’t use highlight actions.

Insight

Consider this, dashboards that empower viewers to ask additional questions about the information presented in the dashboard is the easiest way to increase adoption.  Tableau highlight actions are a fast and simple way to add this level of interactivity to your dashboards.

With highlight actions enabled on your dashboards you empower users to narrow their focus on aspects of your dashboard important to them.
