Connector Improvement: Our Company has a need for Improvement to the TABLEAU (LITE) Connector
Answered
Our Company has a recent high level Executive request to create a "Catalog" Dashboard to see all of the Available Tableau Reports and develop a method for Users to See and Request Access to those reports, etc
Without many of the Tableau MetaData objects our Tableau Team can't complete this project.
In the interim we have developed our own Python Scripts to pull in that data, we prefer to utilize Fivetran for loads vs Custom where possible.
