Product configuration

Each Apps for Tableau extension can be customized to fit your specific setup. Configuration can be done during the first installation or adjusted later through the configuration wizard of an already installed product.

Getting to the Configuration Wizard

On First Install

During the first installation of a product, you’ll be prompted to choose between:

• Standard configuration – Automatically applies the default setup for the product.

• Custom configuration – Opens the Configuration Wizard, allowing you to set up details like ports and navigation names according to your environment.

Choosing the custom option will lead you through the configuration steps before completing the installation.

⚙️ Already Installed

If the product is already installed, you can modify its configuration at any time:

1. Open the Extensions Manager.

2. Navigate to the specific product page.

3. Click Open Configuration Wizard (located in the bottom right corner of the product page).

This will reopen the step-by-step wizard for that product.

The Configuration Wizard

Each product’s configuration wizard may vary slightly, but all share the same core setup flow.

For product like DashboardUsage, VizSlides or Dreamteams which need aditional installing the wizard will guide you through it.

You’ll typically go through the following steps:

Step 1: Port Configuration

Set up the network port used by the product.

• By default, a suitable port is automatically assigned.

• You may only need to change it if another program on your server is already using that port.

• No port forwarding is required — products are accessed through the AFT Manager’s main port.

Step 2: Navigation Configuration

Define how Tableau will access your product — either via subdomain or folder structure.

• Subdomain example:

  supertables.localhost

• Folder structure example:

  localhost/supertables

Choose your preferred method and provide a navigation name. This URL can then be used in your TREX files so the extension is reachable in your Tableau dashboard.

Step 3: Save Configuration

After reviewing your setup, click Save Configuration to apply your settings and start the product.

A summary table will confirm:

• Port number

• Whether a subdomain or folder structure is used

• Navigation name
