Configure a Tableau Pulse Lightning Web Component
The Tableau Pulse Lightning web component (LWC) allows Salesforce customers to drag and drop embedded Tableau Pulse metrics from Tableau Cloud onto Salesforce Lightning pages.
For instructions to turn on a Tableau LWC, add a trusted URL, set up seamless authentication and host mapping and add a component to a Lightning page, see Configuring Tableau Lightning Web Components.
When you’ve added a Tableau Pulse LWC to your Lightning page, configure the component fields.
| Component field | Description |
| Tableau Pulse URL | This field is required. Enter the URL for the Tableau Pulse page or metric that you want to embed. |
| Site ID | This field is required for seamless authentication if there isn’t a host mapping specified for the URL used in the Tableau Pulse URL field. If a host mapping exists for the Tableau site, the contents of this field are ignored. |
| Height | Height in pixels. When set to the default value of 0, height adjusts automatically to best fit the selected layout. |
| Layout | Determines the size and level of detail displayed. Choose from Full, Compact or Mini. |
| Debug Mode | Tick the box to turn on debug mode. |
| Force refresh toggle | When troubleshooting, you can toggle this tick box to refresh only this component instead of refreshing the whole Lightning App Builder Page or all components on the Lightning Page. |
| Set Component Visibility: Filters | Create filters for when to display the component. For example, you can filter on a specific user, permissions or device form factor. To add a filter:
Important: You must enter field names as they are defined in the data source. For example, if the data source is in English, but the data source fields are translated to Japanese for a user, the user must enter the original English field name. |
