Tableau Publishing & Sharing Insights 2

Question 1

When you publish a workbook to Tableau Server, what determines whether viewers can interact with filters and parameters?

The workbook's permissions and the published view's web edit settings

Answer

Interactivity depends on the permissions granted and the view's settings, not the publisher's license or data source type.

Question 2

What is the main advantage of publishing a data source separately from a workbook on Tableau Server?

Accepted Answer

It allows the data source to be reused and centrally managed across multiple workbooks
