Performance Considerations

Our Tableau OData feeds do not support incremental refresh, i.e. each time you refresh, the entire dataset is refreshed. You can mitigate performance issues by publishing the data viz/report from Tableau to Tableau Online, where you can configure the data viz/report to refresh automatically on a schedule defined by you.
