DSA AD & Tableau

How to test Report & Distribution Commands on Tableau Server. Specifically how to test the URL and URL-Filter columns in the Report & Distribution Commands file.

DSA AD & DSA Cloud AD run Tableau reports by composing a URL and submitting it to the Tableau site that you use. DSA AD can only run Tableau reports that can be run from Tableau Server with a URL.

URLs for Reports from Tableau Web Server

1. Connect and sign on to Tableau Server in a web browser.

2. Modify the URL in the web browser as in the examples below.

dataselfbi.com/#/site/<site-name>/views/<URL-column>

dataselfbi.com/#/site/<site-name>/views/<URL column>?<URL-Filters column>

Example

dataselfbi.com/#/site/acme/views/CustomerRevenueReport/CustomerRevenueReportTab?Inv%20Year=2024

• CustomerRevenueReport is from the URL column of the Report & Distribution Commands file.

• ?Inv%20 Year=2024 is from the URL-Filters column.

• CustomerRevenueReportTab is the name of a sheet on the Tableau report.
