We’ve been hearing this question a lot from Curator customers and wanted to clear up any confusion you might, or might soon, be experiencing.
In the latest version of Curator, we moved the Connectivity settings (previously under Settings > Tableau > Tableau Server Settings) into its own standalone section to better support multiple BI platforms:
This means connecting to your Tableau, Power BI and now ThoughtSpot instances will become more independent and increase the flexibility of your users’ experience with Curator. All of your existing connections will have migrated under this new section. You can find it in the left-hand menu in the Integrations > Connection section. If you do not see this right away, ensure your backend user has the permissions enabled for Integration: Manage Connections. Here’s a look at the new Integrations page:
If you have any other questions or find that you’re running into the same issues over and over, feel free to reach out to the Curator team. We’d love to help, and even better, we’d love to improve future versions of Curator to avoid those challenges altogether.
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.
