Tableau Super Users

For assistance with new visualizations or modifying an existing one, get in touch with your Super User.

Tableau super users, or as Tableau refers to them, content owners, are people who create dashboards, workbooks, and views and publish them on Tableau Server. Our super users are primarily made up of University of Kentucky staff who have a licensed copy of Tableau Desktop, and are capable of using the application's advanced features to develop reporting solutions for their respective colleges or business units.
