Hi all,
Thanks again to all who attended on Friday -- I hope the session got you
thinking, too!
Simon Hill from MIP sent me through a follow up email asking me to pass
on his thanks to you all for attending, and also to add some more
certainty to their response on the question of row-level security / user
filtering (below). Simon asked that if any other questions have come up
over the weekend, to please send them through, so if you don't have his
details please let me know.
User Filtering
User filtering is a special kind of filter that allows you to
limit the data any given person can see in a published view.
For example, in a sales report that gets shared with regional
managers, you may want to only allow the Western Regional Manager to see
the western sales, the Eastern Regional Manager to see the eastern
sales, and so on. Rather than create a separate view for each manager,
you can define a user filter that allows each manager to see the data
for a particular region.
A user filter is defined for an individual field and users or
groups are given permission to see a subset of the members in that
field.
You can define a user filter for any dimension or
multidimensional hierarchy. In addition you can define user filters for
sets, binned fields, and groups that you've created.
The user list comes from Tableau Server. When you publish to
Tableau Server the view is adjusted based on who is logged in and
looking at it.
Kind regards,
William Rose

Subject: [chai-t] September & October plans
Hi all,
Thanks to all who made it down last Friday: it is the hardest time of
year in terms of BI workload, so it was great to see you there.
For September, the suggestion is to try to arrange a demo of Tableau,
another QlikView-esque data discovery tool. As quite a few of us are
considering or have started down a path towards adding QlikView into the
mix, there is some interest in checking out the competition. Rose &
Simon from Peter Mac have had a demo which was the typical car sales
data.
I can try to organise a demo similar to Nadav's SQL 2012 demo with some
health data sets: I'm also interested in trying to get them to demo what
it is like to get data into the tool, as this seems to be the most
frequently glossed over part of these tools.
If you have some specific ideas for dashboards or reports you'd like to
see the Tableau version of, please let me know!
The date for this is tentatively Friday 21st of September, at this stage
at Peter Mac, unless the Tableau reps have their own meeting rooms.
For October, I have badgered Peter Carty sufficiently that he has agreed
to have us over to the Austin so we can check out some of their cool
toys! I'll leave it up to Peter to advise further.
Kind regards,
William Rose
