Tableau is a business intelligence tool that allows anyone to easily connect to data, then visualize and create interactive, sharable dashboards. These dashboards are a collection of various views of the data, such as charts, graphs, or summary pivots.
In this class, learn how Tableau Server is used to share and interact with visualizations securely across an organization. This training focuses on interacting with and editing workbooks that have been published to Tableau Server and is intended for end-users, not developers.
By the end of this session participants should feel comfortable working with filters, tabs, sharing, downloading raw data, setting-up favorites, using pause, working with edit mode, and much more.
After a brief once-over of the interface, students will create and manipulate numerous visualizations of the sample data. This session will be a mix of walking through examples with the class and a series of exercises for the student to dig through the data and create a visualization that meets their needs.
