Tableau Accelerators are pre-built dashboards and workbooks that include sample data that you can swap out for your own data. Tableau Accelerators allow you to discover insights with minimal setup. They’re available for different industries, like healthcare and financial services, and a variety of business functions, like sales, marketing, and finance. Tableau Accelerators are also available to connect your Tableau deployment to other enterprise applications and to Salesforce. Tableau Accelerators are created by Tableau or Tableau managed service partners.

Many Tableau Accelerators use the same data models, which means they’re easy to adopt. It also means that you may start with a basic Accelerator, and switch to a progressively more complex one with ease. All Tableau Accelerators that connect directly to Salesforce cloud data sources, including Data Cloud, use standard data objects.
