Tableau

1. Assumes that your data is coming in from spreadsheets

2. Assumes that your data is flat and all in 1 table

This works well if all your reporting is coming from 1 team for your entire company.

Tableau at UCSD

1. There are at least 3 separate Tableau environments run by 3 different teams with 3 different sets of rules

2. For example: HIPPA compliance; internal vs external audience; business use; license structure; data connections

Activity Hubs Tableau

-Not HIPPA compliant; for internal UCSD use only; not for research projects or classroom work; each developer needs a license but customer do not; BIA can help you set up a connection to between our Tableau and your data source but only the AH team has direct access to the AH (and they create the AH data sources).

Short - Interim - Long Term

Short: Available Now

Interim: Can be done in a few weeks or less.  Requires a ticket to busintel@ucsd.edu requesting firewalls be lowered.

Long: Fields from an existing data source (Kuali, Oracle, UCPath) then it is part of our monthly release.  If it's new tables then we do have to wait for integration.  If it's a new set of data then we'll need to wait for integration and also go through field naming, view modeling and identification of what data you want to join with it.
