Data Source Manager for Tableau Cloud

How often have you heard, “Without good data, you won’t have good AI?” It sounds simple, but studies show that “ensuring scalable, reliable data” is one of the top analytics challenges organizations face. We've created this Accelerator to ensure managing scalable, reliable data in Tableau is easier. Use the Accelerator to better explore, improve, and validate the data sources you have in Tableau, so that you can more comfortably scale self-service and AI-driven solutions to your users.

To get set up, ask your Tableau Site Admin to connect this Accelerator to your Tableau Cloud Site today.

Answer Key Business Questions:

• How many data sources do you have in Tableau?
• Which data sources can be trusted to support self-service and AI-driven solutions?
• Which data sources are being shared and how often are they used?
• Which data sources should be prioritized to promote to a certified standard of truth?
• Which data sources are being duplicated?

Required Data: The three required data sources are included in the Tableau Cloud Admin Insights Project. The data sources are: Site Content, TS Events, and TS Users.
