Exporting to Tableau Server

Tableau Server, by Tableau Software®, is an online solution for sharing, distributing, and collaborating on content created in Tableau or exported to Tableau Data Extract form. Monarch offers a simple solution to allow data extracted in the application to be exported to Tableau Server quickly and seamlessly.

Steps:

1.    Create an export and select Tableau Data Extracts (.tde) as an export file type.

2.    If you created your export via the Create Export dialog, select Edit Advanced Options. If you created your export via Export design, you will not need to perform this step.

3.    Check the box for Publish to Tableau Server.

4.    The information you entered to access Tableau Server in the Security tab of the Options window displays. If you did not provide the necessary information in this tab, you can do so now.
