Tableau
You can use the Tableau View Control element to display tableau views on the Peakboard. The Tabelau View is located on a tableau server and is also rendered there. Peakboard serves as a display.
In order for Peakboard to gain access to the Tableau Server, you must set the IP address of Peakboard on the server as “Trusted”:
-
On the Tableau Server, start the Tableau console window as administrator. The console window can be found in C: \Program Files\Tableau\Tableau Server\9.2\bin
-
Execute the following commands:
tab admin stop
tabadmin set wgserver. trusted_hosts “<IP address of Peakboard >”
tabadmin config
tab admin start
More information can be found at: http://onlinehelp.tableau.com/current/server/en-us/trusted_auth.htm In the Tableau View Control, the following options must be filled in the properties window:
Server: IP address of the tableau server
Username: Name of the user on the tableau server
Workbook: Name of the tableau workbook containing the view.
View: The name of the view you want to display on the Peakboard
The following two pictures show an original tableau dashboard on the tableau server and the representation on a Peakboard panel.
