Tableau app for digital signage

The Tableau app transforms how you distribute data insights across your organization. Fugo's approach solves traditional dashboard sharing challenges without compromising security or requiring additional Tableau licenses. Your encrypted login details remain on private servers while only dashboard images are sent to screens, creating a barrier between sensitive data and display devices. Teams across departments gain access to current metrics while you maintain complete control over what's shown where - all managed from one central platform.</h2>

How does Fugo protect my Tableau data when displaying it on screens?

Your login credentials are encrypted and stored only on private cloud servers. Fugo logs into Tableau remotely, captures dashboard screenshots, and sends only these images to your display devices. This ensures your data connections, databases, and access credentials never touch the screen devices themselves.

Do I need to set up special authentication for Tableau to work with Fugo?

Yes. You'll need to set up a secret key from your login provider. If you use SSO (Google or Microsoft), you'll get the key from that provider. If you don't use SSO, you'll need to set up a time-based one-time password authenticator for your Tableau account and obtain the secret key there. This extra security step ensures stable, secure access.

Can I customize which portions of my Tableau dashboards appear on screens?

Absolutely. Using Fugo's Design Studio, you can crop your dashboards to highlight specific visualizations, add complementary elements like company branding or additional context, and optimize the layout for distance viewing. This lets you transform complex dashboards into focused data stories for each audience.

How often will my Tableau visualizations update on screen?

By default, dashboards refresh once daily, but you can adjust the refresh interval in the dashboard editor to match your data update frequency. This ensures your displays always show current information without requiring manual intervention.
