Summary
In this chapter, we explored how to set up and run schedules to refresh the data in extracts on Tableau Server and Tableau Online. Schedules are an important part of data modeling in the Tableau platform as they keep our data fresh in an automated fashion, helping us scale.
We also looked at using schedules with subscriptions from within workbooks on Tableau Server and Cloud. Subscriptions are a way for consumers of dashboards to be notified when new data is available.
In the final section of the chapter, we looked at Tableau Bridge. Tableau Bridge is a required component for keeping on-premises data fresh on Tableau Cloud.
The next chapter is the final chapter of our book. It will wrap up all the components we have learned throughout the book by determining which components we need by audience and use case.
