Tableau Desktop Foundations Practice Question

You are designing a public-facing workbook. Dashboard users do not need second-by-second updates, and the database administrator wants to reduce query load on the production system. Which data connection approach best meets these needs in Tableau Desktop?

  • Use a live connection so every dashboard interaction retrieves the newest rows directly from the database.

  • Keep the connection live to avoid any file-size limits or refresh scheduling tasks.

  • Create an extract so the workbook queries a local .hyper snapshot instead of the production database.

  • Stay live to inherit all row-level security rules defined in the source system without extra setup.

Settings & Objectives
Random Mixed
Questions are selected randomly from all chosen topics, with a preference for those you haven’t seen before. You may see several questions from the same objective or domain in a row.
Rotate by Objective
Questions cycle through each objective or domain in turn, helping you avoid long streaks of questions from the same area. You may see some repeat questions, but the distribution will be more balanced across topics.

Check or uncheck an objective to set which questions you will receive.
