Summary
Before a user can create an Excel to Tableau Hyper Workflow, they must first have a SharePoint platform configured by InfoBurst admins and documents available in the corresponding SharePoint Document Library.
How-To
Task: Follow the instructions below to create a delivery Workflow from an Excel file.
Instructions
- Log in to InfoBurst
- Navigate to the folder where the workflow will be stored
- Click on the New button and select Workflow
- Choose Excel to Tableau Hyper from the available options (you can use the blue Excel filter to limit the workflow list)*
- *This option requires that you have a preconfigured SharePoint Site established for non-enterprise reports. Please submit a Tableau Support ticket for this request.
- Select the pre-configured SharePoint platform from the dropdown list and select Continue.
- Navigate to the appropriate folder and select a document then Continue.
- Choose a Tableau Project that you want your Excel file sent to (select the folder icon to see a list of available projects). Use / to separate parent and child folders.
