The revamped version of "Tableau Server 2019.1 Administration" course created with Tableau Server 2019.1 and has been designed specifically to answer ‘How anyone can manage and configure daily tasks of the administrator?’ The course will provide that missing gap by giving an opportunity to manage and configure the Tableau Server by having the learner themselves take on the role of a Tableau Admin, and actually produce results by executing projects, tasks, and taking on responsibilities that are conducted on a day to day or weekly basis. This, in turn, will give confidence, encouragement and a sense of direction to what exactly is expected from a Server Admin, thus increasing chances of getting a new opportunity.
