# Tableau Online

For this connector, the concept is to send to Tableau each X minutes new events in **append** mode (ex : pageviews, clicks, impressions, ...)

We are able to push Data to Tableau every 10 minutes (full export or delta).

\
Append mode will add new lines to existing table in Tableau, so the stream has to be configured to **differential** (export only new events), like this :

\
For **users** universe, it's different, you can't choose "append" because users are updated continously and you don't want to add each times the same users, so you have to choose **overwrite** mode for this univers, with an export each night (because it will take hours to send all users to Tableau) (edited)

\
Tableau online doesn't support updates\
It offers only append or overwrite
