Web Portals and Desktop Apps via iframe

  • On the Tableau view to embed, click the Share button -> Copy Link.

  • Paste the copied content into a text app and add ?:showVizHome=no&:embed=true to the end of it. Ex.:

    • Copied & Pasted:

    • https://dataselfbi.com/t/d/views/DataSelfAnalytics/YoY

    • Sufix added:

    • https://dataselfbi.com/t/d/views/DataSelfAnalytics/YoY?:showVizHome=no&:embed=true

  • Copied the modified URL above into the iframe code below.

Example of <iframe> HTML code – Tableau URL is in bold:

<div style=”overflow: hidden; position: relative; margin-bottom: 2rem; max-width: 100%; min-height: 700px;”>
<iframe style=”border: 0; height: 100%; width: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0;” src=”https://dataself.com/t/d/views/DataSelfAnalytics/YoY?:showVizHome=no&:embed=true”>
</iframe>
</div>

User Authentication

  • Avoiding user credentials:

    • Guest user (Tableau OEM Shared Workbook): Anyone with access to the exact URL can view the reports and dashboards on the internet. More info: https://bit.ly/3lkqYDd

    • Single Sign-On (SSO): When a user clicks the “Sign in” button, SSO will automatically authenticate them. More info: https://tabsoft.co/3x8TKv6

    • Trusted Authentication: Authentication is done prior to reaching the embedded dashboard pages. More info: https://tabsoft.co/3r0EKOU

    • Contact DataSelf to discuss the options above.

  • Default Tableau Server authentication: users need to enter their own Tableau credentials – usually, once a day.
