Tableau Start Page

by suresh

In this article, we show you the Tableau Start Page. The Start Page in Tableau is the central location to Connect or Extract Data for your report, and Opens recently used Workbooks.

Tableau Start Page

If you haven’t started the Tableau yet, Double click on the Tableau desktop to open. Once it is open, it looks like the below screenshot.

From the below screenshot, you can see that we divided the Start Page into 7 Sections.

  1. Connect to a File: This section helps you to connect with Files, or allows you to extract data from files such as Excel, Text Files, PDFs, Spatial Files, so on.
  2. Connect To a Server: This section helps you to connect with the Tableau Servers or allows you to extract data from servers such as MySQL, SQL Server, Tableau Server so on.
  3. Saved Data Sources: All the existing or Saved Data Sources will display under this section.
  4. Open: Most recently used Workbooks will be displayed under this section. Currently, we don’t have any used workbooks.
  5. Sample Workbooks: These are sample workbooks that will come with Tableau Desktop installation.
  6. Training and Resources: Links to Useful Blogs and some videos.
  7. Resources: The content that was generated by the Tableau Community.
