Set Goals and Thresholds for Tableau Next Metrics

When you set a goal, you see your progress toward that goal on your Tableau Next Following page. And thresholds give more context to your metric's value. For example, you can create thresholds for performance ranges, such as "healthy," "at risk," and "critical." You can set thresholds with or without goals. And you can also set goals without thresholds.
