Admin Insights Starter

The Admin Insights Starter workbook provides site administrators with enhanced visibility into their Tableau Cloud deployment. This pre-built workbook connects to curated data sources in the Admin Insights project to answer common questions about site usage, performance and user engagement. With its intuitive dashboards, administrators can monitor key metrics and identify trends, enabling them to make data-driven decisions.

Use the Starter workbook as-is, or customise it to create more detailed dashboards and workbooks that address the unique questions of your organisation. The Admin Insights data sources contain up to 90 days of data by default or 365 days with an Advanced Management licence.

Answer key business questions

• What’s the adoption rate of Tableau Cloud in my organisation?
• What are common trends around the site’s deployment?
• What content is popular?
• What are my users doing?
• How should licences be allocated?

Set up the workbook

The workbook contains localised worksheets and dashboards, but data isn't available until you sign in to your Tableau Cloud site. To set up and connect the workbook to your site data, follow these steps:

1. Download the Admin Insights Starter accelerator.
2. Open the workbook (Admin_Starter.twbx) in Tableau Desktop.
3. When prompted, sign in to Tableau Cloud as a site administrator.

After signing in, you can continue to use the Starter workbook locally or publish it to your site to collaborate with other administrators and authorised users. We recommend publishing the workbook to the Admin Insights project in Tableau Cloud.
