Additional Information
A URL action is a hyperlink that points to a web page or other web-based resource outside of Tableau. Refer to the Online help for more details on URL action.For security reasons, Tableau requires you to link to a file hosted by a web server. A best practice is to use the https:// protocol with URL actions. If you use http:// in the URL action, and the server on which you publish the dashboard runs through https://, browsers will not be able to display the http:// page that the URL action points to.
