Enable embedded metadata in Tableau
By default, the browser extension shows Atlan metadata in a sidebar. With embedded metadata enabled, Atlan context appears directly overlaid on your Tableau dashboards—giving users immediate access to descriptions, lineage, and governance information without opening a separate panel.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- The Atlan browser extension installed and configured. If not, see Install and set up browser extension.
- The Admin role in Atlan.
- Access to Labs in your Atlan workspace.
Enable embedded metadata in Tableau
To enable the embedded metadata experience for all users in your workspace:
-
In your Atlan workspace, click Settings from the left menu.
If you are using the Old UI (Classic), from the left menu, click Admin.
-
Click Labs.
-
Under Access Control, turn on View embedded metadata in Tableau.
Once enabled, users with the browser extension installed see Atlan metadata overlaid directly in their Tableau dashboards.
