Curator’s Page Builder is a powerful tool that allows you to go beyond the standard analytic pages created when you bring in Tableau, Power BI or ThoughtSpot content. With Page Builder, you can create personalized pages that showcase your unique brand, style and blend of content while deftly guiding users to the analytics they’re searching for. Quickly import, organize and style key content that is relevant to your unique user group.
Page Building as Easy as One, Two, Three
- Build the page layout by adding a new row with one element, or add an element to an existing row to determine placement on the page. Select the edit icon on an element to add content to it.
- Select individual elements or rows to enable Page Style menu on the left-side nav.
- Use the side-nav controls to change the style of the element or row using the sections inside the Page Style menu.

Recently, Tableau has been encouraging the use of connected apps for external applications, instead of using trusted tickets. All of Tableau’s recent embedding features require connected apps. Since this only deals with behind the scenes authentication, there is no impact to the end user. In our effort to remain closely aligned with Tableau, Curator is transitioning to only using connected apps.
Curator has added the feature to be able to send mark commenting data to a webhook. With the widespread use of API integration platforms, this really opens the doorway to virtually unlimited use cases.
If you’ve got users reporting access issues, your first stop on the road to resolution should be the User Menu Access button. This feature gives you a snapshot view of any given user’s current menu structure, as well as their permissions status for all the content within that menu.
