Meet a Community Member

Preethi Lodha (UMass)

Let's do it in Public, Tableau Public that is! We'll chat with Tableau Public Ambassador and co-lead for the new Tableau Public User Group, Preethi Lodha. She'll share her journey with data and Tableau, and maybe we can get her talking about how her seat on the Tableau for Teaching Instructor Advisory Council gets students started on the road to Tableau success.

Tips & Tricks - URL Actions

Brian Vancil (UKansas)

It's fitting that we'll have someone from smack dab in the middle of the US talk about how Tableau URL actions are a great middleman between Tableau dashboards and other systems. Brian will show how they can be used to pre-fill forms with data from your dashboard, and deep link into other systems to automate connections to other sources of information.
