# Tableau

**Categories:** SaaS Application

Data visualization platform that helps users explore, analyze, and share interactive dashboards and business intelligence reports.

Tableau is a leading data visualization and business intelligence platform that helps organizations explore, analyze, and share insights through interactive dashboards and reports. Integrating Tableau with Harmony brings IT service data into your existing analytics workflows, giving teams a unified view of operations and performance. This connection enables smarter, data-driven decisions by surfacing ITSM metrics directly within the dashboards your teams already rely on.

## Capabilities

- **ITSM Data Visualization**: Automatically sync Harmony service desk data to Tableau for real-time, interactive reporting on incidents, requests, and changes.
- **Custom Dashboard Publishing**: Push pre-built or custom Harmony performance dashboards into Tableau to consolidate IT metrics alongside broader business data.
- **Trend Analysis and Reporting**: Leverage Tableau's analytics engine to identify patterns in ticket volumes, resolution times, and SLA compliance over time.

## What Harmony does with Tableau

Harmony connects with Tableau to bring data insights directly into the flow of work, letting employees ask questions about dashboards and reports without ever leaving Slack or Microsoft Teams. When a team member needs a quick metric or a manager wants to share a visualization with their team, Harmony bridges the gap between Tableau's analytical power and the conversational workspace. This means faster decisions, fewer context switches, and less time hunting through workbooks to find the number that matters right now.

## Data synced

- Published workbooks and their metadata
- Dashboard views and embedded visualizations
- Data source connection names and refresh status
- User and group permissions for content access

## Actions available

- Fetch and share a specific dashboard view directly into a Slack channel
- Query a published view to retrieve the latest metric or KPI value

## Real-world use cases

**On-Demand Metric Lookup**: A sales manager types a question in Slack asking for last week's closed-won revenue, and Harmony instantly retrieves the matching value from the team's Tableau sales dashboard without the manager opening a browser.

**Scheduled Report Delivery**: Harmony automatically posts a Monday-morning snapshot of the executive KPI dashboard to the #leadership Slack channel, ensuring every stakeholder starts the week aligned on key numbers.

**Incident Data Check**: During a production incident, an on-call engineer asks Harmony in Slack to pull the current error-rate visualization from Tableau so the team can assess impact without switching tools.
