What is Tableau Online

Tableau Online is the digital marketplace for your dashboards.

A simply analogy is when you're meeting friends at a cafe. You go there, share stories and gossip.

For Tableau it's where we publish our dashboards so our managers, colleagues and even the general public can view the work and make decisions.

Online Collaboration

The online platform is where everyone's dashboards live. As a consumer, you can view your employees reports, or your managers, or even results from the other side of the business.

It's a one stop shop where you can make comments, tag team mates and even connect to publish data sources for deeper dives into your data.

Cloud Visualization

See a data set that's interesting? You can build right in the cloud!

That means with just a few clicks you can start building right there and then and answering questions much faster!

No Additional Hardware Costs Required

With your Tableau Creator account purchase, you can set up a fully hosted solution by Tableau themselves at NO ADDITIONAL COST!

This is an amazing solution not only for getting started in BI but also one less thing you have to worry about so you can focus on your data.

Engaging and Robust Dashboards

These dashboards live in the cloud. So you can play with them, use filters, interact and more with no chance of it breaking.

Tableau allows curious minds to go deep into the data.

There are Several Tableau Courses Available

This covers Tableau from Start to Finish. From Designing Dashboards, to Cleaning Data and then to Publish Workbooks to the Cloud
