Know exactly what a data change will break
— instantly.
Table and field-level impact analysis. Visual lineage. Automated documentation. One platform that finally answers which dashboards will break if I change this?
Three ways to prevent dashboard disasters
Everything you need
to control your Tableau environment.
Rapid BI Catalog connects to your Tableau Server and provides three mission-critical capabilities that transform how your BI team operates.
Tableau Impact Analysis at Field & Table Level
The problem
When a source system renames a column or deprecates a table, your BI team spends days — sometimes weeks — manually investigating every workbook, worksheet, and calculated field to find what will break. Critical dependencies get missed. Production fails after deploy.
How Rapid BI Catalog solves it
Select any database, table, or field — Rapid BI Catalog instantly maps the upstream and downstream impact across your entire Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud estate. Export the full report to Excel and act before the change ships.
- Field- and table-level impact analysis across the entire Tableau environment
- Affected dashboards, worksheets, calculated fields, bins, sets, groups, and hierarchies — all listed
- Excel-exportable reports for change-control reviews and stakeholder sign-off
- Prevent production dashboard breaks before they reach end users
Visual End-to-End Data Lineage for Tableau
The problem
BI engineers and governance teams can't answer simple questions: where does this field come from, which dashboards consume this table, what transformations happen along the way? Every question turns into detective work. Self-service BI loses trust.
How Rapid BI Catalog solves it
Interactive visual lineage maps every data flow from source database through calculated fields to the final visualization. Zoom, pan, drill down — present the same diagram to engineers in the morning and auditors in the afternoon.
- Source-to-dashboard lineage including calculated fields and data source connections
- Interactive zoom, pan, and drill-down — no more screenshots in slide decks
- Identify bottlenecks, redundancies, and unused assets across the estate
- Audit-ready lineage views for governance teams and compliance reviews
Automated, Always-Current Tableau Documentation
The problem
Manually documenting hundreds — sometimes thousands — of Tableau dashboards is tedious, error-prone, and always out of date the moment it's written. Auditors find gaps. New analysts take weeks to onboard because nothing reflects what's actually in production.
How Rapid BI Catalog solves it
Documentation is generated automatically across your entire Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud estate, on a schedule. Calculated fields, data sources, filters, parameters, and dependencies are captured every run — no manual intervention unless your team chooses to add business definitions.
- One-click generation across the entire Tableau environment
- Captures calculated fields, data sources, filters, parameters, and dependencies
- Scheduled automation keeps the documentation current as dashboards evolve
- Export to Word, Excel, PDF, HTML, or CSV — for stakeholders and auditors
Audit & Governance
When the auditors call,
have an answer in 90 seconds.
Rapid BI Catalog generates standardized documentation across every dashboard your auditors can read. Lineage is visualized in-app for governance teams to navigate; documentation is exported in the formats your stakeholders expect.
- Documentation exports — Word, Excel, PDF, HTML, CSV
- Visual end-to-end lineage navigable in-app
- Field-level activity logs with timestamps
- Role-based access control
- On-prem or private cloud deployment
- Standard documentation across the entire estate
