What is a story point in Tableau?

• A.A single worksheet or dashboard
• B.A collection of dashboards
• C.A collection of both worksheets and dashboards
• D.A collection of worksheets

Correct Answer: A

Explanation
In Tableau, a story is a sequence of visualizations that work together to convey information. You can create stories to tell a data narrative, provide context, demonstrate how decisions relate to outcomes, or to simply make a compelling case.
A story is a sheet, so the methods you use to create, name, and manage worksheets and dashboards also apply to stories (for more details, see Workbooks and Sheets). At the same time, a story is also a collection of sheets, arranged in a sequence. Each individual sheet (worksheet or dashboard) in a story is called a story point.
When you share a story -for example, by publishing a workbook to Tableau Public, Tableau Server, or Tableau Online-users can interact with the story to reveal new findings or ask new questions of the data.

On Tableau Server or Tableau Online, click the X icon in the top-right corner of the dialog box.
