What type of object should a Data Analyst create to allow users to export a dashboard as an image?

To enable users to export a dashboard as an image, a Data Analyst should create a "Download" object within Tableau. The Download object is specifically designed for this purpose, providing options for users to save various formats, including images of the dashboard.

When users interact with the Download menu, they have the ability to choose to export visualizations and dashboards in formats like PNG or PDF, among others. This flexibility allows users to efficiently capture and share insights presented in the dashboard.

The other types of objects, such as buttons, links, or export options, do not inherently offer the same functionality specifically targeted at exporting dashboards as images. While they may serve different purposes in a dashboard or application context, they lack the specialized features of the Download object that facilitate direct image exports. Thus, when the goal is to provide an effective and user-friendly method for exporting a dashboard as an image, the Download object is the appropriate choice.
