Scheduling Extract Refreshes

In the previous chapter, we discussed keeping data fresh for our data flow outputs using Tableau Prep Conductor. We are going to explore keeping data extracts created in Tableau Desktop and in the web client up to date using the scheduling service of Tableau Server and Cloud. We will also look at the role Tableau Bridge plays in making on-premises data available on Tableau Cloud.

In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following topics:

  • How to set up and run schedules
  • Using schedules with subscriptions
  • Tableau Bridge – what it is and when to use it
