Production

The Production environment in Tableau gives users view/read-only access to all if its visualizations. Users can filter workbooks and visualizations to create specific views, which they can save for later use. However, users cannot edit the data or visualizations beyond setting filters.

Users can access a project report/workbook or dashboard directly through Tableau (as shown in Tableau) or through Dashboard Central which can also be found on the Launch Page. Once a user chooses and enters a dashboard, they can switch between different tabs of the workbook, similar to how users can switch between tabs on an Excel Workbook.

To visualize data in different formats, click on Show Me and it proposes different types of visuals for the data.

Regardless of which option you choose, you'll be brought to Tableau's home page.

Tableau general users have read-only access to all dashboards and visualizations. Users can otherwise edit data as needed without making any changes to original visualizations in the Self-Service environment, which is a sandbox for further data analysis.

To access certain functionalities, detailed below, users must submit an IT Service Request Ticket to gain the correct permissions and software for the use-case.
