Question

How to open view links in a mobile Broswer without redirecting it to Tableau Mobile App?
When you open any view link in any mobile broswer, the link always opens in Tableau Mobile App.

Environment

Tableau Mobile

Answer

Option 1 (Only for Tableau Server):

To open the links in a mobile web browser instead of Tableau Mobile App, enable the option below with the TSM commands below.

tsm configuration set -k mobile.deep_linking.on_prem.enabled -v false
tsm pending-changes apply

Option 2 (Both for Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud):

Add the parameter below to the end of the URL/link:

&:deepLinkingDisabled=y

For example, if your view link is like below,
Tableau Server:
https://<Tableau Server URL>/t/<Site Name>/views/Regional/Obesity?:embed=yes&:tabs=yes&:toolbar=yes
Tableau Cloud:
https://<Pod Name>.online.tableau.com/#/<Site Name>/nantab/views/Regional/Obesity?:iid=1

Add the parameter "&:deepLinkingDisabled=y" to the end of the URL/link like below:
Tableau Server:
https://<Tableau Server URL>/t/<Site Name>/views/Regional/Obesity?:embed=yes&:tabs=yes&:toolbar=yes&:deepLinkingDisabled=y
Tableau Cloud:
https://<Pod Name>.online.tableau.com/#/<Site Name>/nantab/views/Regional/Obesity?:iid=1&:deepLinkingDisabled=y
