The University’s Tableau Server hosts dashboards that anyone from staff to advisors or administrators can use for their everyday work. Whether it is identifying a list of students who have applied for graduation; or calculating month-end spend reports. All Pitt faculty and staff members have access to the Tableau Server (analytics.pitt.edu). However, they will only be able to see dashboards and data for which they have permission.

See our /wiki/spaces/am/pages/490831873 Dashboard Catalog for examples of analytics tools that can be created using University Enterprise Data, view a recent presentation presentations of [dashboards in use]<link to Data@Pitt panel sessions> at different units, or see some of our favorite examples from Tableau Public

Two main objects exist on Tableau Server:

  • Workbooks, which include dashboards, individual visualizations, or data stories.

  • Data Sources, which a prepared data sources stored in a Tableau-ready format for users to connect to and begin building visualizations.

These objects are stored in Projects or folders. Users may have access to any combination of Workbooks, Data Sources and Projects - but explicit permissions are required for dashboard developers to create content on a Data Source or publish to a Project.

The 'Explore' item on the left panel of analytics.pitt.edu will allow you to see all folders, workbooks, and data sources you have access to.

You can save workbooks you’ve created on Tableau Server in your Personal Space. If you are granted permission to a Project Folderthe correct permissions, you can publish there to a Project folder to share your work. If you need a new Project Folder created, please open a case with the Technology Help Desk: https://www.technology.pitt.edu/help-desk/247-it-help-desk
