Every worksheet in Tableau contains shelves and cards, such as Columns, Rows, Marks, Filters, Pages, Legends, and more. By placing fields on shelves or cards, you:

  • Build the structure of your visualization.
  • Increase the level of detail and control the number of marks in the view by including or excluding data.
  • Add context to the visualization by encoding marks with color, size, shape, text, and detail.
