Tableau Commenting Extension
Kommentare : 1
Which problem does it solve?
It solves the problem of having discussions around particular outliers in visualizations. You can basically select any mark on a dashboard, create a new comment for it and review what other people discussed about it. This particular Tableau Extension is commenting on Order IDs, but you can easily adjust it to comment on mark you want!

Troubleshooting
- Port 8888 is already in use before starting Xampp
(Change the port) - Port 3306 is already in use before starting Xampp

- Download and install Tableau Desktop 2018.3.x or above
- Open up the workbooks from step 4
- Go to File > Export As and select the version that you want to downgrade to

If you’re already using the “Tableau Photo Booth” you don’t need to repeat step 2. Just do the following steps instead of step 2 from above and leverage your existing Xampp:
1) Start your XAMPP from the “Tableau Photo Booth” blog post
2) Navigate to phpMyAdmin within the browser (via http://localhost:8888 and the button on the top right)
3) Import the following 2 SQL statements by extracting this zip file and copy+paste the content into phpMyAdmin->Import
