Long time user of Tableau; brand new user of AutoMate, just started today in fact, so Hi All.

I've got a script doing exactly what I want with one exception: rather than having my Web Browser object open in a new browser window, I'd prefer they opened in a new tab in the same browser window.

I've attached the an .aml in case that's helpful.

PS: Any other Tableau users on this forum?

Hi Shawn,

Welcome!

What are you IE settings set to when a new window is opened? I would suggest you make sure it's set to open in a new tab.

Let us know if that helps you.

Ricardo, thanks for the speedy response! Since my sales rep suggested the same thing, changing my IE settings was the first thing I tried. I used this answer to a Windows community question to see if I could get it to work:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie8-windows_other/internet-explorer-is-opening-new-windows-instead/d18f1b43-e79e-40a4-ac5f-d1b53098d243

OK, so that's 4 years old. But I was able to follow the instructions and it made no difference in how AutoMate executed the script. I still got 3 browser windows instead of 3 tabs in the same browser window.

What am I doing wrong? What should my IE settings be, specifically? How do I send a "change tab" action using AutoMate?

Thanks, any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Hi Shawn,

I do apologize after some testing it seems that the "Web Browser" action will not be able to open new windows in separate tabs. You will need to use Interactive actions to open up new tabs.
