Map Your Campus: How to Master Maps and Polygons in Tableau

Presentation Summary

One of Tableau's great strengths is the ability to generate graphic reports in geographic spaces, particularly cities, states, and countries. In Higher Ed, we also want to study our campus spaces. Unfortunately, mapping your campus in Tableau is a do-it-yourself affair with many pieces that are poorly documented. At Brown University, they have been successful in integrating ArcGIS building shape files with dynamic map servers to create a campus graphic reporting system using Tableau. In this presentation, facilities data guru Scott Lloyd will share the steps for creating your own campus map.
