Just an additional comment on the Identity Pool part as it is easy to mix up things. 

Identity Pool is a pair of 1) an identity store and 2) an identity provider. 

identity store can be local or AD/LDAD, and identity provider always and only OIDC. 

But the Identity Pool identity store is constrained by your original identity store defined during Tableau Server installation. 

If identity store local then Identity Pool identity store can only be local (same or new) 

If identity store AD/LDAP then Identity Pool identity store can only be  AD/LDAP (same!) 

It is pretty cool but tedious to configure as there is no tsm command or GUI to configure it. it is all through REST API calls only. 

Then your Tableau login page will have an additional button, for example External users. 

The internal users can continue to use Local authentication or SAML, it is totally independant.

It was a very good idea from Tableau, but Tableau didn't further develop this feature since 3 years.

Hi, unfortunatelly not possible with local auth, you will need to use an external Idp (SAML). 

I suggest you to create an idea for this:

Unfortunately that has always been a limitation of Server/Cloud text tables. I prefer Desktop's behavior. You would need to add a unique hidden column like customer ID to the left of country to get it to appear on every row. But that prevents convenient selection by country.

Hi Andy!

From what I understand from the documentation, the "device_type" is not what type of device is viewing the dashboard, it's for what type of dashboard was being presented to the client. The explanation for "device_type" is "DSD device type detected" - "DSD" stands for "device-specific dashboard" - this is the type of dashboard layout created in Tableau Desktop. I do not believe this field will track what device was viewing the page, it will only show what dashboard was offered to the user. you can read more about Device Specific Dashboards here: Design dashboards that shine on any device in Tableau 10 | Tableau Software

Hope this helps!

Hi @technical Department

orphan or duplicate extracts can occur but currently it is a just a theory in your case. 

What Tableau Server do you have ? If >= 2025.1, you have recycle bin feature so you should try to empty it first. 

- About orphans / duplicates, basically any hyper extract file present in dataengine > extract folder but not present in postgres repository table "

extracts " (identified by its "descriptor" value/folder, can be deleted. 

- Similary any extract record reference present in postgres repository table "

extracts " with datasource_id null AND workbook_id null

, can be deleted from the dataengine > extract folder. But backgrounder is supposed to delete those automatically.

It is a it technical topic so take your time to audit your instance before doing any change and have a backup strategy in place. 

And if any doubt, you can always open a Tableau Support case.
