It allows you to create annotations and comments on marks in your visualisations from within your dashboard. This improves the collaboration in dashboards in a highly efficient way. Keep track of your expert annotations and conversations on your most valuable assets. #### Use cases General use cases for this module are: * Create and manage annotations on marks in your visualisations * Assign annotations to other users * Reply on annotations/comments to start the dialog * Collaborate to the full extend #### Data management The annotations are connected to the marks in your dashboard and stored in a separate table in a database. This allows you to use the annotations table as a new datasource and report on the annotations in a separate dashboard. #### Configuration We will discuss the usage of the Collaboration module and assume you already know how to configure a dashboard that uses Collaboration. If you don’t know how to do this, you can take a look at the documentation for the [Management Console](https://appsfortableau.infotopics.com/support/documentation/writebackextreme-product-guide-modules/#managementconsole) (backend) or the [Dashboard setup](https://appsfortableau.infotopics.com/support/documentation/writebackextreme-product-guide-modules/#frontend) (frontend). You can follow along using the Collaboration dashboard in the [demo workbook](https://bit.ly/3oD3XKR) for WriteBackExtreme. This is the dashboard we will be using in the documentation examples below. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.infotopics.com/writebackextreme/features/tableau-extension/end-user/collaboration.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
