## What you can do with Tableau.

Tableau turns business data into visual reports, dashboards, and analysis.

### Deliver the recurring business reporting package

Finn completes the preparation and distribution behind a team's recurring dashboard report.

**Typically handled by:** Business intelligence reporting coordinator

**Starts when:** The team's reporting cutoff arrives.

#### What Finn handles

1. Read the selected Tableau views and confirm the data period and latest refresh result.
2. Collect any missing explanatory context from the business owners and assemble the agreed report in SharePoint or Google Slides.
3. Distribute the report or Tableau subscription to its designated audience using the existing data-access rules.
4. Record questions and complete the factual follow-up and report corrections requested by the team.

**The result:** The audience receives a dated reporting package with completed follow-up.

### Recover a failed dashboard refresh

Finn resolves the operational work behind a dashboard that stopped updating.

**Typically handled by:** Business intelligence operations coordinator

**Starts when:** A Tableau extract refresh fails or a business owner reports stale figures.

#### What Finn handles

1. Read the failed job, affected workbook and source connection to identify the actual unfinished update.
2. Resolve missing source inputs or connection issues with the responsible application or data owner.
3. Run the corrected refresh and read the completed job and resulting data period.
4. Notify the affected audience and record the cause, completed recovery and any remaining source issue.

**The result:** The dashboard has a recorded refresh result and its users know the current data status.

### Carry a dashboard change through publication

Finn handles the production and release administration around a business reporting change.

**Typically handled by:** Analytics production coordinator

**Starts when:** A business owner accepts a dashboard change request.

#### What Finn handles

1. Collect the requested measures, audience and acceptance examples and read the existing Tableau workbook and data sources.
2. Prepare the revised workbook through the team's Tableau authoring process and coordinate missing source or definition decisions.
3. Obtain the data and publishing owners' review and publish the accepted version with the correct access.
4. Update the relevant subscriptions and documentation and confirm that the requested views are available.

**The result:** The dashboard change is published and its audience and reporting instructions are current.

### Turn a metric alert into a resolved business case

Finn follows a Tableau signal through the operational work it calls for.

**Typically handled by:** Business operations monitoring coordinator

**Starts when:** A Tableau data-driven alert crosses a threshold the business selected.

#### What Finn handles

1. Read the affected view, time period and underlying records to explain the observed change.
2. Connect the issue to its business owner and create the relevant case in Salesforce, ServiceNow or Asana.
3. Complete the routine administrative correction in the system that owns the records and coordinate any required business decision.
4. Refresh or revisit the report and record the case's actual resolution and subsequent metric observation.

**The result:** The alert produces a recorded business response and an observable follow-up result.

### Resolve a dashboard access request

Finn completes the administrative work between a reporting request and the right access.

**Typically handled by:** Analytics service desk coordinator

**Starts when:** An employee requests access to a Tableau workbook or project.

#### What Finn handles

1. Identify the requested content, employee role and business purpose.
2. Bring the access decision to the responsible data owner and record the selected scope.
3. Apply the accepted Tableau access change and send the employee the correct content link.
4. Confirm that the intended content is available and close the request with its decision and result.

**The result:** The employee has the authorized reporting access and a completed service record.

### Investigate conflicting numbers in a business report

Finn completes the evidence collection and correction around a reporting discrepancy.

**Typically handled by:** Business intelligence support analyst

**Starts when:** A business user reports that two reports show different figures.

#### What Finn handles

1. Read the Tableau views, data periods, filters and measure definitions involved in the comparison.
2. Trace the discrepancy to its source records or reporting definition and collect missing context from the data owner.
3. Implement the owner's selected workbook correction or coordinate the source-system fix through its actual owner.
4. Refresh the affected report and record the reconciled figures or explicit remaining definition difference.

**The result:** The reporting question has a documented explanation and completed correction where required.

### Complete the reporting handover when ownership changes

Finn runs the administration around a dashboard owner's departure or team change.

**Typically handled by:** Analytics platform administrator

**Starts when:** A team assigns a new owner for its Tableau reporting.

#### What Finn handles

1. Identify the affected workbooks, data sources, refresh tasks and subscriptions.
2. Collect the departing and incoming owners' handover instructions and bring access changes to the data owner.
3. Update the selected ownership and administration records and coordinate any source connection changes.
4. Confirm a completed refresh and current audience delivery, then file the reporting handover.

**The result:** The reporting assets continue under the correct owner with recorded operational continuity.
