Dashboard Collaboration without the Chaos

Get on the same page – fast!

Ineffective and difficult-to-manage data review, commenting and change process – we see it all the time and feel your pain. It’s time to make that pain go away and take Tableau to the next level with in-dashboard collaboration, write-back and annotations. Empower every member of your team with the ability to contribute quickly and effectively.

Not Just Hype

See why leading companies are using Elements for Tableau
to improve data analytics workflows through dashboard collaboration.

Transform Dashboards 

Gain faster and better insights by eliminating inefficient and cumbersome data review and communication processes. Analyze, discuss and enrich data together, directly in Tableau, rather than resorting to email or another communication tool.

Annotate Data 

You can use annotations as additional data next to the raw and aggregated data and as a replacement for the original data, virtually overwriting it in the dashboard. All annotations are stored in a separate auditable database and can be reverted anytime.

Comment Anywhere

Tailor annotations to specific use cases, from simple commenting to complex surveys. Using our handy form builder, Administrators can create custom UIs from atomic building blocks — text fields, checkboxes, drop-down lists, etc.

Manage Access

Precisely control who can annotate data, approve a comment or configure the system. Multitenancy isolates work and data for different departments and groups.

Ensure Security and Compliance

With its own database, Elements ensures that no data leaves your premises and gives you full storage control and audit capabilities. For added data accuracy and security, you can integrate an approval workflow to ensure that new comments are reviewed before publishing.

Customize It 

Built on a flexible code base customizable to meet the unique needs of your organization, Elements can quickly accommodate a new type of database or authentication method, custom branding and localization, new input methods and completely new features.

Boost performance

The more difficult it is to send a message or ask a question, the less likely it is to happen. So why resort to email or other external communication tools when you can ‘tag’ data points in Tableau and communicate directly under it in the dashboard?
Associating all communication about a data point in a single location – attached to the data point itself –ensures everyone has all the information needed to take action. The result is a greater sense of responsibility to act and better organizational decisions.

Accelerate innovation

Customers have seen a major increase in Tableau adoption after the introduction of Elements – because when you help your team get better results more easily, others will want in too. Equipping users with in-dashboard collaboration across teams, functional areas and workflows helps break down communication silos and improve performance across your organization.

Realize your team’s potential

Your organization depends on the results your team delivers – but when teams use multiple inefficient channels to communicate about data, everyone suffers. Elements enables each team member to communicate, fix inaccuracies, and derive insights faster and more effectively, leading to greater contribution and job fulfillment.
