Download View as Image

UiPath.Tableau.Activities.QueryViewImage

Uses the Tableau API to get View data rendered as an Image and download it to a folder you specify.

How it works

The following steps are an example of how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

  1. Complete the Setup steps.
  2. Add the Tableau Scope activity to your project.
  3. Add the Download View as Image activity inside the Tableau Scope activity.
  4. Create an enter values for the Input properties.
  5. Enter values for the Output properties.
  6. Create and enter an ResponseStatus variable for the Output property.

In the body of the activity

  • Site ID - The ID of the site that contains the view. Enter a string or String variable or click the Find button to display the Find site window, where you can see all the site IDs found on the Tableau instance.
    1. Select a site ID and click Done. The Site ID property is automatically populated with the selected value.
    2. Copy the Site ID string, to use it in the View ID property.
  • View ID - The ID of the view to render as data. Enter a string or String variable or click the Find button to display the Find View window.
    1. Paste the Site ID in the Site ID search field and click Find, to identify your View ID.
    2. Select your view and click Done. The View ID property is automatically populated with the correct value.
  • Folder Path - The folder to download the report to. Enter a string or String variable.
  • File Name - The filename you wish to use. Enter a string or String variable.
  • Filter Value - The value of the field that you want to use to filter the workbook view. Enter a string or String variable. For example, a workbook with the filter /data?vf_year=2017 would only display data from the year 2017.
  • Max Age Minutes - The maximum number of minutes view data will be cached before being refreshed. Enter a string or String variable. To prevent multiple view data requests from overloading the server, the shortest interval you can set is one minute. There is no maximum value.
  • High Resolution - Whether to download the image with maximum pixel density.
