What types of Tableau dashboards can I use?

1. Public Tableau Dashboards

  • Public dashboards are accessible without authentication.
  • They can be added to EasySignage simply by copying and pasting the dashboard’s shared URL into your playlist.
  • Great for dashboards you want to share publicly or internally without secure access.

2. Secure Tableau Dashboards

  • Secure dashboards require authentication.
  • You’ll need to create a Connected App in Tableau and configure it so EasySignage can access the dashboard securely.
  • This method keeps sensitive data protected while still displaying it on screens.

 

Can the Tableau dashboard update on the screen automatically?

Yes!
Since the dashboard is displayed through a live web link, any updates made to the Tableau dashboard will automatically reflect on the digital signage screen without needing to re-upload or republish.

 

Is the connection secure when displaying Tableau dashboards?

Absolutely.
EasySignage supports HTTPS connections and secure web embedding. This ensures that only authorized users and devices can view your private data when displaying dashboards through EasySignage.
If your Tableau server requires login authentication, make sure the session remains active or use Tableau’s public sharing options (if appropriate and secure for your use case).
