Atlan crawls and maps the following assets and properties from Tableau.
Once you've crawled Tableau, you can use connector-specific filters for quick asset discovery. The following filters are currently supported for these assets:
- Projects — filter Tableau assets by projects, including nested projects
- Data sources — Is published filter
For your Tableau worksheets and dashboards, Atlan also provides asset previews to help with quick discovery and give you the context you need.
🚨 Careful! You may need to disable clickjack protection for Tableau asset previews to load.
