Hi @Hollie Patterson​ 

Here's a TUG recording that might help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjGhHOTx4AU

Tableau have an API so you can write your own script, they also have a tool called Content Migration Tool (CMT).

Biztory have a tool called TabMove which usually performs better, and they have TONS of experience doing migrations from Server to Cloud

From our Team:

Here are some super helpful Tableau Help articles that can be passed along to the instructor. Lots of info about what users can/cannot do with certain permissions and roles and different scenarios. Unfortunately, we cannot view instructors' TOL sites to see how most are setting up their users, however, I believe students are mostly set up as Explorers:Permissions

Set Users' Site Roles

Extra note here: Depends on whether instructors want students to add/edit

data sources: "Creators can access the full functionality of Tableau Prep

Builder, Tableau Desktop, and Tableau Server/Onliner to create content.

Explorers have access to a subset of Creator capabilities via Tableau

Server/Online only, to author new content based on existing published data

sources and workbooks."

Strongly suggest pointing our instructors to the Online Guide in the

Academic curriculum. We step them through the special permissions scenarios

for managing assignments and projects.

Are you looking for something like thisI made the bins continuous and edited the axis to have 'Independent axis ranges for each row or column'. For the reference lines, I set the scope for 'per pane' and aligned each at the top so it is easier to read.

Hi Joe,

It looks like your students have effective permissions that are not allowing them to edit this workbook. If these students are the only ones accessing this project and you are comfortable letting them web edit, find the row in that screenshot that says "All Users". From there, you can double-click on the box underneath the edit icon to activate that green check. From there, select the blue "Save" icon.

If you want to give one student editing permissions while leaving the other as is, you can select "Add Group/User Role" and add specific permissions in for the given student. More info here: https://help.tableau.com/current/online/en-us/permissions.htm

Hi KJ,

Are you connected via a Live connection or are you using an Extract? If you are connecting using a Live connection, then you are at the mercy of the time it takes the database to query and return the results. I deal with datasets around the same size as you are describing and I use an extract. It takes some initial time for Tableau to create the extract but is optimized and, once created, you should notice a performance improvement. Extracts do not return "live results", it is a snapshot based on when you created the extract.

I work in higher education as well - we use Canvas (not sure if you are similar). Hopefully this helps - let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks,
