user-cc7e8: Determine what's available to us as part of the Cornell site license for Tableau
Info Donna installed Tableau on the media center computer downstairs in the TEEAL area (first computer in back lefthand corner with all the candy and origami paper by it). We can walk down and use it whenever since TEEAL’s really not using it anymore. We can also sign onto it remotely like we’d remote desktop to any machine at Mann and Nick can with a username and password that Donna will sort out (he should just check in with Erica or Betsy when he starts and ends a session to make sure no one’s using it and because somebody will have to reboot).
It works beautifully and I was able to download data from Count It and produce reports easily within a little over a half hour.
Apparently our license is only for Tableau Desktop. Cindy Sedlacek said there’s an extra charge for using Cornell’s server (and I don’t think we have access to Tableau Online as that seems to be an alternative to setting up your own server, which Cornell already has). She said “For a small group it would run about $800/year (which includes splitting the annual server maintenance and the CIT VM hosting charges).”
For the short term (next year) I think we can test the desktop only version and see if it’ll do what we want. For the longer term the “real time” online dashboard capabilities are really what we want but this will give us a chance to see if Tableau is worth the ~$1100/yr it would cost (or if we’d be better off paying however many thousands LibAnalytics might cost when it becomes available for testing or finding some other solution).
