Refresh Data on a Schedule


You can schedule refresh tasks for published extract data sources and published workbooks that connect to extracts. New schedules can be created by Tableau Server Administrators on the Schedules page. For more information, see Create or Modify a Schedule.

For information on how to refresh flow outputs, see Schedule Flow Tasks(Link opens in a new window)

  1. When you’re signed in to Tableau Server, select Explore from the left navigation pane, and then, depending on the type of content you want to refresh, select All Workbooks or All Data Sources from the drop-down menu.

  2. Select the check box for the workbook or data source you want to refresh, and then select Actions > Refresh Extracts.

  3. In the Refresh Extracts dialog, select Schedule a Refresh, and complete the following steps:

    • Select the schedule you want.

    • If available, specify whether you want a full or incremental refresh.

      A full refresh is performed by default. Incremental refresh is available only if you configured for it in Tableau Desktop or web authoring in Tableau Server before publishing the extract. For more information, see Refreshing Extracts(Link opens in a new window) in the Tableau Help.

    • Click Schedule Refresh.
