Yeah, as far as I know.. this is something being worked on, but Lars will have to give the details.. I don't think you will see tableau compatible data coming out of DHIS 2, but rather a specialised connector from their side. > The link that you sent, if I understand correctly, will allow to develop > individual connections for specific report tables.

The only way to remedy something like that would be to bundle multiple resource tables together. -- Morten > Ideally we want that the api can return data formatted is such a way that > Tableau can consume it - imagine something like this: > - server-url.org/api/tableau/aA5kJPtPf3p/data.json > > *R* > > > On 28 January 2016 at 05:14, Morten Olav Hansen <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> HI Rodolfo >> >> Did you have a look at the example JSON connector? >> >> https://github.com/tableau/webdataconnector/blob/gh-pages/Examples/jsonConnector.html >> >> It seems pretty simple to connect to any kind of JSON source.. as long as >> you understand the data you are pulling in (analytics, etc) it should be a >> simple task to then map it to headers, columns etc.. >> >> -- >> Morten >> >> On Wed, Jan 27, 2016 at 11:24 PM, Rodolfo Melia <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> Somehow, some organizations have used and want to continue using >>> Tableau.
