I use Tableau Reader 8.0 and have created some User Filters (Row Level Filters depending on the Logged In Users)
I published this on the server and everything is working fine.
I now need to download this file and distribute it to other users.
When I download the file and open it in a Tableau Reader I get a blank screen with empty filters.
When I open it in Tableau Desktop it makes me login to the server before showing me data.
I would like the downloaded file to be opened in the Reader (with the data filtered as per the User's Filter who downloaded this file )
Any suggestions to overcome this issue ?
Regards
Chandra
Hi Chandra,
Tableau Reader is a standalone application which can only open packaged workbooks containing Extracts. Tableau Reader does not support live database connections, and it cannot connect to Tableau Server. This means that you will be unable to enforce User Filters in a package workbook opened in Tableau Reader.
