Tableau Server Usage

Tableau Server and Cloud are significant investments in your Culture of Analytics, and understanding who is using the platform – and for what purposes – is key to driving cultural change as well as the right ROI. The Information Lab’s Tableau Server Usage Accelerator shows you exactly what you need to know in order to operationalise and scale your Analytics properly. It’s easy to see what content is popular – and who is using it.

You can connect this dashboard to the audit tables in your own Tableau Server Postgres database – while this Accelerator uses an anonymised extract, rather than a live connection, we’ve included images to show you how to connect it to your own database. Once you connect to your own data, replace the [Created At rel [today()]] field with the [Created At] date field by right-clicking on it and replacing it. You can self-serve and find out more at https://www.theinformationlab.co.uk/2019/03/14/project-griffon-admin-views-from-tableau-server/.

This Accelerator is one of the Server Diagnostics Dashboards that The Information Lab provides for their customers. The Information Lab operates in the US and Europe, and they specialise in helping customers see and understand their data – at scale. You can get in touch with them directly to find out how they can help you.
