Whether can we able to count the number of visitors for a particular TAB or SHEET of a published work book in Tableau server?
Hello,
I think there are two ways to see view count:
In the standard admin views on your server, you can see the server activity view. You can drill down to site and project and in the bottom left hand graph you can see a list of all your workbooks - you can drill that down to published views (which are sheets or dashboards) and if you hover on the bar you can see the number of actual accesses.
The other way is to connect to the Tableau PostgreSQL database to build your own views. There are plenty of posts on how to do that as well as a help file link here: Connecting to the Tableau Server Database. It is a little bit more involved and not entirely documented because, but if you search the forums for that and the ideas boards and posts written outside the forums, you will find information on how to connect the tables to view this.
Basically you'll need the historical_events table, historical_events_types (to filter on "access" action types) and then connect hist_views to see which view you are looking for, hist_projects and hist_sites to drill to the right place. Number of records will be the count of access.
I'd start with the standard views if you're not really confident with digging into tables themselves, as there is not really a lot of help on it, since it is not really supported by Tableau.
Hope this helps,
Dana
