Data Sources Export History

Data Sources Export History Overview

 

Data Sources Export History was implemented as a separate page that can be found via navigator.

  • Only users with an admin role can access the Data Sources Export History page, namely ServiceNow [admin] and TABLEAU ADMIN.

  • Non-admin users - TABLEAU EDITOR and TBLEAU VIEWER - don’t have access to view the Data Sources Export History page. However, all their actions related to export will be logged in the Data Sources Export History table.

The Data Sources Export History table contains a record of each table’s export separately. If a data source includes ten tables and is exported, the Data Sources Export History will create ten separate records, one for each table.
