Analytics Hub

Analytics Hub

**Overview:**
The "Enhancing Tableau Dashboards with Analytics Hub Functionality" project aims to extend the capabilities of Tableau dashboards by introducing features like Azure Single Sign-On (SSO) login, dashboard liking, and collections management. This project responds to the need for a more comprehensive and user-friendly analytics platform that not only delivers powerful data visualization through Tableau but also enhances the user experience and collaboration aspects.

**Key Features:**

1. **Azure Single Sign-On (SSO) Integration:**
Integrate Azure Active Directory for seamless user authentication and access control. This feature enhances security and user convenience by enabling users to log in to the analytics hub using their Azure AD credentials. Users will be able to access their authorized dashboards without needing a separate set of credentials.

2. **Dashboard Liking:**
Implement a feature that allows users to "like" or "favorite" specific dashboards. This feature provides users with the ability to bookmark dashboards they find particularly useful or informative. Liked dashboards can be quickly accessed from a dedicated section, making it easier for users to revisit their preferred content.

3. **Collections Management:**
Introduce the concept of collections, which are groups of related dashboards that users can curate based on their preferences or specific projects. Users can create, name, and manage collections, enabling better organization of dashboards and smoother collaboration. This feature promotes efficient teamwork by allowing users to share collections with colleagues.

**Project Components:**

1. **Authentication and Security:**
- Integrate Azure AD for user authentication, ensuring secure access to the analytics hub.
- Implement role-based access control to manage different user roles and permissions.

2. **Dashboard Likability:**
- Add a "like" button to each dashboard, allowing users to express their appreciation for specific visualizations.
- Develop a backend system to track and store users' liked dashboards.

3. **Collections:**
- Design a user-friendly interface for creating, managing, and sharing collections.
- Implement backend logic to associate dashboards with collections and manage collection permissions.

4. **User Profile:**
- Enhance user profiles to display liked dashboards and owned collections.
- Provide settings to manage collection visibility and sharing options.

5. **User Notifications:**
- Implement a notification system to inform users about updates to liked dashboards and shared collections.

6. **Frontend Interface:**
- Design an intuitive and responsive frontend interface that seamlessly integrates the new features into the existing Tableau dashboard environment.

7. **Backend Development:**
- Build the necessary backend infrastructure to support authentication, dashboard liking, collection management, and user data storage.

8. **Documentation and Training:**
- Develop user guides and documentation explaining how to use the new features.
- Provide training sessions for users and administrators to ensure a smooth transition and adoption.

**Benefits:**

- **Enhanced User Experience:** The addition of liking dashboards and managing collections makes the analytics hub more personalized and user-centric.

- **Increased Collaboration:** Collections facilitate collaboration by allowing users to share groups of dashboards with colleagues, streamlining project work.

- **Security and Convenience:** Azure SSO integration enhances security while providing users with a more seamless login experience.

- **User Engagement:** The "liking" feature encourages user engagement and feedback on dashboards, aiding dashboard creators in understanding their audience's preferences.

- **Efficient Organization:** Collections help users organize and categorize dashboards, improving efficiency in accessing relevant content.
