Can Collibra Ingest Tableau Prep Flow Assets?
Summary: Fatima Rodriguez is inquiring about the ingestion of Tableau Prep Flows into their Tableau Server setup via Collibra, but has found no documentation supporting this capability. Similarly, Brian Lloyd has noted that they also do not see these assets. Robert Lew confirms that the ingestion of Tableau Prep Flows is currently not supported, and several feature requests have been submitted but are marked as 'not planned.' The discussion references various ideation links where these requests have been made over the past few years.
Hi everyone,
My organization set up a connection to our Tableau Server and we are currently ingesting a majority of Tableau assets including workbooks and dashboards. However, the only thing we are not seeing are the Tableau Prep Flows available on our Tableau Server.
Reading through the Collibra Documentation around Setting Up Tableau, I do not find any information how this asset type can be ingested. Are Tableau Prep Flows just not supported or am I missing a step in our connection setup?
This is the only document where I can see what tableau assets can be ingested, but no mention of prep flows.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Fatima

·6 months ago · EditedWe've also asked about this, and it's not currently supported. There are several Ideations for this feature request (from 2023, 2024, 2025), but they're set to "not planned".

OP5 months agoHi Robert, thank you for pulling these ideation! It is very unfortunate this is not supported at the moment and based on what I've seen it might take Collibra a long time to even consider these ideations unfortunately.
