Tableau Requirements:
Configuring Kraken to connect to your Tableau Server or Tableau Online will allow you to sync predictions in Tableau's native Hyper format.

A couple of things to consider when connecting to Tableau Server or Tableau Online:
 - The Tableau connector is a WRITE ONLY connection. You must have another Data Provider connected in Kraken to pull data to use in creating a Project
 - Hyper files will be available in Tableau as a new data source
 
Adding a New Tableau Connection in Kraken:
- Log in to Kraken
 - Click on the Menu in the top right corner
 - Select Manage Data
 - Click on the Tableau Data Provider Card

Tableau Server URL: The URL for your Tableau server. Example: https://tableau.myserver.com

Site: The Tableau server site you would like Kraken to connect to

Username: The user name that you use to log in to Tableau Server

Password: The password used to authenticate your Tableau user

 - Click Connect

NOTE: After you've connected to your Tableau Server, be sure to set up a second connection to your primary data source as well. For more information on what Kraken can connect to, visit our Data Provider documentation: https://support.bigsquid.com/hc/en-us/sections/115000802333-Connecting-to-Data-Providers
