Overview

Tableau Desktop users can connect directly to a Fusion Registry service as a data source.

Start Tableau, choose Web Data Connector and enter the URL of the Fusion Registry service you want to connect to.

Examples URLs:
http://localhost:8080/FusionRegistry/tableau/explorer.html
https://api.mydomain.org/tableau/explorer.html
http://demo.metadatatechnology.com/FusionRegistry/tableau/explorer.html

The Fusion Registry query builder allows you to explore the catalogue of datasets, select those of interest and create filters to retrieve just the series you need. Tableau retrieves the data directly from Fusion Registry allowing you to perform analysis, build charts and create dashboards as normal.
