When it comes to Curator, we want to deliver a high-quality product tailored not only to your analytics needs but also the demands on your time. In this video, I walk you through how to kick off your Curator instance in just a few minutes. You’ll see an overview of how to get started with the following:
- Quick login and backend access
- Features and style options to complement your branding, including advanced styling for programmers to play with like CSS, custom fonts and more
- Adding Tableau dashboards to your instance
- Customization options for your homepage, content, navigation … whatever makes sense for your installation!
Okay, so it wasn't exactly five minutes, but it was pretty close! Nonetheless, I hope this quick start was helpful in providing a basic understanding of how to jump straight into your Curator instance and begin customization. Be sure to check back on the blog for more tips on getting the most out of your Curator data experience.
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.
