Does anyone know how to easily collaborate in real time in Tableau?

  • I'm working on a data viz project with a team of four. We're using the same merged data sets and regularly make modifications to them (e.g. delete invalid data, make data names consistent, and otherwise clean the data). Does anyone know a good way we effectively can work together remotely using the same data source?

    If the answer isn't Tableau, that's fine too. We're using it now, but are open to other tools.

    Thank you for your help!

  • One way could be ,

    Install Tableau Desktop on RDP/Remote Desktop and

    instead of making changes on local computer do the changes on it.

    In this way every one can login and see what have been implemented and deleted so far.

  • You’re basically dealing with the scenario developers are in everyday but with data instead of code. If you truly want to work in parallel why not just check the data set into a git repo? Then you just need to ensure users are actively pushing and pulling their changes through out the day.

    Are you actually pulling down new data sets or was it a 1 time Kaggle and website pull/merge that you guys are continually editing?

    1. Use Remote Desktop to login to your Tableau Server
    2. Using a text editor (I prefer notepad++) add the javascript found here (VizTalkJS) just before the closing head tag to the following files:
      • auth_layout.html.erb
      • download_layout.html.erb
      • embedded_authentication_layout.html.erb
      • embedded_layout.html.erb
      • licensing_layout.html.erb
      • single_embedded_layout.html.erb
      • single_layout.html.erb
      • text_layout.html.erb
      • welcome_layout.html.erb
    3. Restart your tableau server
    4. Revel in your accomplishment
