Introduction
Publishing a dashboard is very similar to publishing a view. Therefore, you should familiarize yourself with Publishing, and this page only covers the options that are unique to dashboards.
When you publish a dashboard, you create a copy of the dashboard, marked published, that can be displayed on its own and has options described in the Publishing page and here.
You can think of a dashboard in Explore Analytics as a layout of multiple views to be presented together. When you publish a dashboard, only the dashboard itself (with any slicers) is copied as part of the publishing process. The views that it contains are already published and are not published again.
Auto-Rotate Tabs
If the dashboard contains multiple tabs, you have the option to auto-rotate through multiple tabs (this option has no effect if the dashboard has no tabs).
This publishing option useful if you intend to leave the dashboard running on a display in the manner of a slide show. For interactive users it's best to allow the users to navigate themselves. Having the tab switch in the middle of making a slicer selection, for example, can be quite undesirable.
When you set this option, the published dashboard will auto-rotate the tabs according to the interval that you specify. For example, if you set the interval to 10 seconds, then 10 seconds after displaying a tab, the next tab will be displayed. When the last tab is reached, the next tab is the first tab.
