Connecting to Data Feeds with Tableau

Tableau provides the ability to work with and visualize data. Using Tableau, you can directly connect to, and import individual Data Feeds tables.

For more information about Tableau, see Getting Started with Tableau.

• Enterprise Administrators

Igloo Authentication

When connecting to your digital workplace's data feeds, you must authenticate using your Igloo Authentication credentials. If you do not know what your Igloo Authentication password is, see Resetting a forgotten Igloo password. 

Filtering

Some Data Feeds tables can be very large, connecting to these can result in timeouts and not importing the table. To avoid this, use Filters when entering your Data Feeds URL. For example, to create a table that contains only blog posts created in 2018:

https://{your community domain}/odata/dContentBlog?$filter=year(row_active_date) eq 2018

Importing a Data Feeds table into Tableau

1. Select New Data Source.
2. In the To a Server section, select Odata.
3. Enter the URL of the table that you are connecting to. Refer to Data Feeds Tables for the URLs of different tables. For example, to connect to dContentBlog the URL would look like: 

   https://{your community domain}/odata/dContentBlog
   

4. Select Username and Password for Authentication.
5. In Username, enter your Igloo Authentication email address.
6. In Password, your Igloo Authentication password.
7. (Optional) Repeat this process to import additional tables.
