Grids (2018.2)

Whether you are working with floating or container layouts, the goal is the same: to have a nice-looking Dashboard. With Grids, Tableau makes it easier for you to achieve this. You can show or hide the Grid from the Dashboard menu, or by pressing the G key on your keyboard. 

From the Dashboard menu, you can also open the Grid option and choose its size in pixels. The following screenshot shows an example of a ten-pixel grid:

The Grid comes with another great enhancement: you can move the floating items, pixel by pixel, with the keyboard arrows. Achieving great designs has never been simpler!
