  2. Viewers can never web edit
  3. Explorers can be given the web edit capability, with the ability to publish or save their work.
  4. Explorers can be given the web edit capability, but cannot publish or save their work
A
  1. Viewers can never web edit
  2. Explorers can be given the web edit capability, but cannot publish or save their work

Viewers can never web edit.
Explorers can be given the web edit capability but can’t publish. Essentially, they can use web editing to answer deeper questions based on existing content on the fly, but can’t save their edits.
Explorers (can publish) or Site Administrator Explorers can publish, but they can only use data that is already published to the site.
Creators, Site Administrator Creators, and Server Administrators can publish and create new data sources.

18
Q

When will Tableau Server cache the results of queries to improve performance? (Select all)

  1. When they are first viewed by a user on TS
  2. An algorithm regularly caches the queries on a regular cadence without user intervention
  3. When the corresponding extract refresh is run
A
  1. When they are first viewed by a user on TS
  2. When the corresponding extract refresh is run

For most workbooks, query results are computed and cached when they are first viewed by a user on Tableau Server. However, for workbooks that connect to data extracts, Tableau Server can recompute query results when the corresponding extract refresh tasks run. This reduces the load time for these workbooks when they are first viewed, so this option is turned on by default for workbooks that have been viewed recently

19
Q

Which of the following types of logos and headers can be customized with the TSM command, tsm customize? (Select all)

  1. Sign-in logo
  2. Header logo

Q

Select all the correct circumstances in which a user can be assigned the UNLICENSED site role:

  1. The number of available licenses has reached its limit at the time the user was added
  2. The Tableau product key has expired
  3. The Licensing Server process is down
  4. A user who owns content on the site was removed

  2. The Tableau product key has expired
  3. A user who owns content on the site was removed
  4. A user is imported from a CSV file and their license level is set to unlicensed

Users are assigned the Unlicensed role in the following circumstances:

You import users from a CSV file and their license level is set to unlicensed.

The number of available licenses is reached at the time you add or import users.

You remove a user who owns content on the site. The user will still own the content but not be able to do anything with it.

22
Q

It is common knowledge that users granted the Explorer (Can Publish) site role with an Explorer license can publish workbooks using existing data sources, but cannot connect to external data and create new data sources. What happens if a user with an Explorer license is granted the Server Administrator site role?

  1. A Server Administrator with an Explorer license can now connect to external data and create new data sources
  2. This site role isn’t allowed to be assigned to the Explorer license to begin with
  3. A Server Administrator with an Explorer license still cannot connect to external data and create new data sources
A
  1. A Server Administrator with an Explorer license still cannot connect to external data and create new data sources

When you add users to a site on Tableau Server, independent of their license type, you must apply a site role to them. The site role signifies the maximum level of access a user can have on the site. Along with content permissions, the site role determines who can publish, interact with, or only view published content, or who can manage the site’s users and administer the site itself

23
Q

A user has been added to a site as an EXPLORER, however the site has already met its role limit set by the Server Administrator for Explorers. There are still available licenses at the higher tier. What will happen?

  1. The user will be added to the site as an Unlicensed user
  2. The user will be added to the site with an Explorer role, but will consume and count towards a Creator license
A
  1. The user will be added to the site with an Explorer role, but will consume and count towards a Creator license

If a user is added to a site as an Explorer, they will consume an Explorer license, unless the site has met its role limit set for Explorer. When this happens, a few different things can occur:

If there are available licenses at a higher tier, the user will be added to the site as an Explorer, but will consume a Creator license.
If no higher licenses are available, the user is added to the site as an Unlicensed user.

The Customer Portal(Link opens in a new window) page on the Tableau website lets you purchase, manage, and view registration information for product keys that are assigned to your users.
For Tableau Desktop (version 10.0 and later), you can configure Tableau Desktop reporting to report usage information to an instance of Tableau Server that’s running in your organization.
You can configure Tableau Desktop (version 10.5 and later) to automatically deactivate a license after a predetermined period of time. This feature is intended to support organizations that use non-persistent virtual desktops that might be recycled on a frequent basis without deactivating an installed Tableau Desktop license.
You can view login-based license usage for Tableau Online or Tableau Server

34
Q

A Tableau Server Creator developed a workbook using Tableau Desktop 2019.2, and published the workbook to Tableau Server 2020.3. The next day, the user cannot find the workbook file on his local machine, and so he downloads the workbook again from Tableau Server 2020.3 to perform some updates. Will he be able to open the workbook using Tableau Desktop 2019.2? (Assume that no one else edited the workbook on Tableau Server, or republished the workbook again)

A

Yes

You can downgrade workbooks to share them with people using older versions of Tableau products.
Export to an earlier version from Tableau Desktop
Downgrade a workbook when publishing to Tableau Server
Download an older version from Tableau Online or Tableau Server

35
Q

In which of the following scenarios will Tableau Server prioritize a particular background job with the highest priority?

  1. A job that is already in process
  2. A job with the highest priority number
  3. A job that a user initiated manually using Run Now
A
  1. A job that is already in process

Any job already in process is completed first.
Any task or schedule that you initiate manually using Run now starts when the next backgrounder process becomes available. Exception to this are the flow tasks and schedules. Flow runs use the assigned task priority to determine the order in when they should run. If there is no task priority assigned it defaults to 0 which is the highest priority.

36
Q

When working with the Tableau Server REST API, which of the following HTTP verb must be used to request this particular action:

“Update existing resources, such as updating a user’s password, updating permissions, or changing a workbook owner”

  2. PUT
  3. PLACE
A

GET to read information, such as getting a list of users or downloading a workbook.
POST to create or publish new resources, such as sites, users, workbooks, and data sources.
PUT to update existing resources, such as updating a user’s password, updating permissions, or changing a workbook owner.
DELETE to remove a resource, such as deleting a user, or workbook. This verb can also dissociate a resource from a collection—for example, you can use the DELETE verb to remove a user from a site, which dissociates the user from collection of users on the site, but doesn’t remove the user from the server

37
Q
