To connect Tableau to Drivetrain, you need:

### Tableau Setup <a href="#looker-setup" id="looker-setup"></a>

Drivetrain supports integration with Tableau via **Personal Access Token (PAT).** To get started you would need to create a token on Tableau for Drivetrain.

#### Step 1: Create personal access token <a href="#step-1-add-a-user" id="step-1-add-a-user"></a>

1. Login to your [Tableau Cloud account](https://sso.online.tableau.com/public/idp/SSO).
2. Go to the **Settings** page.&#x20;
3. In the Personal Access Tokens (PAT) section, select the **Enable personal access tokens** option.
4. Select the users who can create new PATs on the site, below are the options:
   1. To enable all users to create PATs, select the **All users on this site** option.
   2. To limit the access of creating new PATs only to the users that are members of a group, select the **Only users in a specified group** option and then select a group from the drop-down menu. \[Recommended]
5. Set the expiration period of the token, below are the options:
   1. Select the default option - 180 days.
   2. In the **Custom days** field, specify a custom value \[Recommended, choose at least 365 days]
6. Click Save
7. Make a note of PAT Name and PAT Secret in a secured document, these will be needed to configure the integration on Drivetrain.

#### Step 2: Find Subdomain and Site Name <a href="#step-1-add-a-user" id="step-1-add-a-user"></a>

Find your Tableau subdomain and site name in your Tableau Cloud account URI and make a note of them.&#x20;

For example, if your Tableau Cloud account URL is `https://test.online.tableau.com/#/yoursite/home`, your subdomain is `test` and your site name is `yoursite`.

{% hint style="info" %}
That’s it! Share the PAT Name, PAT Secret, Subdomain and Site with your Data Integrations Manager or Customer Success Manager to get started!
{% endhint %}
