Tableau Dashboards and Data Sources: Supporting Your Tableau Users

Tags:
In this 2-hour workshop, we’ll briefly overview the landscape of Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server, what your users can do for free on AITS’s Tableau server, how to get setup, and what requires the desktop tool. Then we’ll practice using Tableau Desktop to create and share a data source (a 2-week free trial of Tableau is available online if you don’t have a paid license). A shared data source takes the burden of data modeling off the business user so they can focus on creating visualizations. And finally, we’ll practice creating an interactive dashboard, which allows users to interact with your data in a controlled way that requires little to no end-user training.
