  4. Add the Data for Narrative worksheet to the dashboard by dragging it from the Sheets list on the left of the workspace and dropping it onto the dashboard.

    You set the dashboard layout to Floating in the Objects section on the left of the workspace in a previous topic, so Data for Narrative is added as a floating object.

    The extension returns to the Get started with... screen

    The Data for Narrative worksheet won't be used as a visual, so you can hide it behind the Arria for Tableau object to save real estate in your dashboard.

  5. From the More Options pop-up menu in the upper corner of the Data for Narrative object, select Floating Order > Send to Back:
