Tableau Connector for Microsoft SharePoint

Build 24.0.9060

CreateSchema

Creates the schema file for the specified SharePoint list. The schema file may be customized manually to exclude unwanted columns or include additional information about columns.

CreateSchema

Creates a local schema file (.rsd) from an existing table or view in the data model.

The schema file is created in the directory set in the Location connection property when this procedure is executed. You can edit the file to include or exclude columns, rename columns, or adjust column datatypes.

The connector checks the Location to determine if the names of any .rsd files match a table or view in the data model. If there is a duplicate, the schema file will take precedence over the default instance of this table in the data model. If a schema file is present in Location that does not match an existing table or view, a new table or view entry is added to the data model of the connector.
