Hi
Is anyone using Tableau?
If so, can you tell me what version is the best one to use.?
Tableau Desktop
Tableau Prep
Tableau Online
Tableau Server
Thanks!
Hi @ldix ,
I thought I would take the opportunity to share this into the Data and Analytics group for you, there are some great minds in there that should be able to assist you.
I know we have started looking into options to use with Canvas Data, we primarily use Cognos BI, however, I know Instructure does offer some reporting services with Tableau.
As far as which service would be best, I think it would largely depend upon your needs. The desktop version is great for starting out and as an individual user. Online is great if you want to use a Software as a Service application that you can share with multiple users, without a significant upfront investment in local infrastructure. The Server version is handy if you need to host the data locally (due to privacy or legislative requirements), as the Online version is only hosted in the USA at this point (as far as I am aware).
It would be great to specify your needs as that may help people make a better recommendation, covering things such as is it just for you, or for others to use, where do you envisage accessing it from, what would you like to do with it, and so on.
I will admit, I have never heard of, or looked into the Prep version, so can't really talk to that. While these are high-level thoughts only, hopefully the Data and Analytics group can share more thoughts with you as well!
Hope that helps!Stuart
Hello, I was thinking of this a while ago and have been trying to message Canvas support about this but they suggested here but not which category. I apologize if this is the wrong spot.

I'm building a tool for my institution that imports grades from another LTI tool into Canvas so instructors can automate late assignment policies not otherwise supported by Canvas. I'm trying to use the LTIv1.3 ID which is readily available on the LTI-side as a link to the student record on Canvas, but I can't find the ID…
How can one track Canvas Media use without having the reports available from Canvas Studio? Checking API endpoints and the Data 2 schema, there do not seem to be dedicated Canvas Media endpoints. Am I missing some? A method I've considered is using the body field of the wiki_pages table, as this contains the html code of…
Hello, I'm trying to utilize an API call to pull completed certificates and was hoping to download and store the certs as a backup. I can successfully run the API call but it will not allow me to view the certificate unless I access the URL while signed into an account where it's "my" cert. Is there a permissions setting…
UI for weekly progression idea that rest in the Schedule tab of the **K-12 UI** of Canvas it's incomplete and I really would not take it and push it into instance but I am going to post it here because in the past people like @James && @robotcars || @Steve_25 have had terrific input in the past... maybe w/their eyes and…
