About Following Metrics in Tableau Next

After you follow a metric, the metric appears on the Following page in Tableau Next. While analysts can find Following in the left panel, users with consumer permissions see the Following tab as their home page web experience in the Tableau Next app.

When you follow two or more metrics, Tableau Next provides a summary to help you quickly see the latest insights across your metrics of interest. When available, this insights summary appears on the Tableau Next Following page. For more information on insight summaries, see About Insight Summaries in Tableau Next.

Note Tableau AI must be turned on by your Tableau admin for insight summaries to be available.

If you unfollow a metric, then it no longer appears on your Tableau Next Following page on web or mobile.
