Tableau marked WDC (Web Data Connector) as deprecated, but you can still export data using this option with Tableau Connector for Jira Cloud.

 

The WDC data export will be completely removed after 2024-05-01. Please use OData export instead.

 

  1. Open the Data Sources page, select three dots, and then select Copy WDC URL (legacy).

  1. Launch your Tableau Desktop, select More…, and then select Web Data Connector (deprecated).

  1. Paste the copied WDC URL into the address bar at the top or in the box in the middle, and then press Enter.

  1. In the Username field, enter your email address associated with your Jira Cloud instance.

  2. In the Password field, enter the access token you’ve created here.

  3. Select Log in and Export.

Data will be loaded into Tableau. If there is a large amount of data to be imported, it may take some time.

Proceed to Sheet 1, where you can start building graphs and dashboards using the imported Jira data. To do this, simply select the visualization type and the data you want to display on the graph or dashboard.
