Summary
This article includes instructions for both viewers and developers on how to request a Tableau server account. Tableau server accounts are available to those who develop data visualizations and those who interact with or view data visualizations that developers create. USNH faculty and staff who do not already have a Tableau server account can use the accounts request process to get access. USNH maintains a secure server environment where departments can publish and share data visualizations with stakeholders at their institutions.
