TableauTracker Events as Datasource Columns in Tableau

After retrieving the data through the Tableau Tracker Web Data Connector we have various type of data recorded based on the type of the event. The two base tyes of events we records are:

NOOP: Heartbeat info sent in every 15 seconds by the app to know when the dashboard is opened.
FILTER_CHANGE: Raised if a filter is changed on the dashboard.
FILTER_STATE: The app sends the filter state of all worksheets of the current dashboard at every 5 seconds.

There are Basic Columns, which are present at all types of events, and specific columns, which are present only according to a type of event.

Basic Columns

Column name	Explanation
deploymentId	The Deployment ID recieved during the registration.
sourceId	The ID of one Session. Can be used to identify the changes generated in one session.
sourceSequenceId	The number of the event within a Session.
dashboardName	The name of the dashboard which was the source of the event.
workbookName	The name of the workbook which was the source of the event. (Should be defined during the configuration of the extension.)
data_sheet	The sheet which was the source of this event.

data_window_width	The width of the window during the occurance of the event.

Filter change columns

Column name	Explanation
data_fieldName	The name of the field being filtered. Note that this is the caption as shown in the UI, and not the actual database field name.
data_filterType	The type of the filter. Either categorical, hierarchical, range or relative-date.
data_appliedValues_value	The value applied to a categorical filter. For old and new value, two separate rows will be genarted.
data_appliedValues_formattedValue	The formatted value applied to a categorical filter.
data_minValue_value	Minimum value, inclusive, applied to the filter.
data_minValue_formattedValue	Minimum formatted value applied to the filter.
data_maxValue_value	Maximum value, inclusive, applied to the filter.
data_maxValue_formattedValue	Maximum formatted value applied to the filter.
data_includeNullVales	True if null values are included in the filter, false otherwise.
data_isExcludeMode	True if this filter is an exlucde filter, false if include filter. Include means that you use the fields as part of a filter. Exclude mode means that you include everything else except the specified fields.

Custom columns

Extra settings can be defined in the extension configuration, which can be retrieved in the Web Data Connector. These settings represented as columns with "custom_" postfix.

For example, if you added an extra setting in the extension named "mode", with value "debug", and add "mode" in the Web Data Connector custom metadata fields section, then the datasource will have a column named "custom_mode" with value "debug" in every event row from this session.
