Solución

Work with your IT team or website administrator to ensure that the Compatibility Mode is disabled in Internet Explorer 11. code for the webpage/site is updated to a newer version, or beyond IE 8.

Additionally, if the error occurs while using the revert button of an embeded vizulation, using the following tsm command should resolve the issue with IE:

tsm configuration set -k vizqlserver.protect_sessions false

Causa

Starting with Tableau Server 10, compatibility with versions of Internet Explorer prior to 11 is no longer supported. Compatibility Mode settings within Internet Explorer 11, and those in the HTML code for the webpage or website, ensure compatibility with older versions of Internet Explorer and may cause the error to occur by forcing the webpage to load in an unsupported Compatibility Mode.

Información adicional

The Compatibility Mode settings for the page may also be found in the HTML meta tags, e.g. '<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=EmulateIE7” />'. Updating the tag to EmulateIE10, or removing the tag, resolves the error and allows the view to render successfully in Internet Explorer 11.
