SUBMIT YOUR IDEA@LordNeilLord Thank you. I think it may have to do with using a table to add a background. Trying to reconfigure to make it work. We shall see......
The problem was using the table to color the background. Using an image instead made it work. Thank you again, @LordNeilLord for helping me to realize the sticking point!! Now on to complete my Tableau viz.....
Finally!! For whatever reason, my graphics wouldn't render properly when I used a table, so had to redo all of the overlays, etc., and create the images for the small background.
Included a description of the tools, and a URL to the help page (done manually) in the new workflow.
Output is in Tableau. Lots of fun!! You can choose to highlight by tool category. If you hover over a tool, you'll see a description of that tool. If you click on a tool, it will launch to the help page for that tool.

probably the best response to a challenge ever @LordNeilLord!
I went a bit easier and only added the small background colours and a help file link.
Master @LordNeilLord, Are you refreshing this dashboard?
Cheers! I added a hyperlink to each tool that links to the Alteryx help page for that tool, and I turned the workflow into an Analytic app that sorts by tool category and allows the user to select the categories that they want to see.
For my French friends here in the Great White North, an analytic app that allows you to select the language in which to display to display the periodic table.

I used Alteryx and Tableau to create an interactive visualisation where each icon links to that tool's Help documentation on the Alteryx website:
I scraped the help pages and icons from the Alteryx website and used the URL Actions feature in Tableau to make the icons clickable.
A nice challenge to bring me up to 100% at last.
