Tableau

Introduction

Tableau is a data visualization and business intelligence tool used to analyze and present data in a visually appealing manner. It allows users to connect to various data sources and transform raw data into meaningful insights. With its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, users can easily create interactive dashboards, charts, and reports.

Tableau provides a wide range of data visualization options, including bar charts, maps, scatter plots, and more, enabling users to explore data from different angles.

You can find more details and the supported operations at Tableau | qibb Catalog.

Importing flow examples of a node

Once you've successfully installed a node from the qibb catalog, you can easily import example flows that showcase how the nodes can be used.
