## Entity Mapping
The Tableau connector maps Tableau assets to OpenMetadata entities as follows:
| Tableau Asset | OpenMetadata Entity | Description |
|---|---|---|
| **Dashboard Views** (sheetType="dashboard") | **Dashboard** | Tableau dashboard views are mapped to OpenMetadata Dashboard entities. These are the actual interactive dashboards in Tableau. |
| **Sheet Views** (worksheets, stories, etc.) | **Chart** | Tableau worksheet views and other sheet types are mapped to OpenMetadata Chart entities. |
| **Workbooks** | **Project Hierarchy** | Workbook information is preserved in the project field as `{ProjectName}/{WorkbookName}` to maintain the container relationship. |
| **Data Sources** | **Data Models** | Tableau data sources are mapped to OpenMetadata Data Model entities. |
### Example Structure
**Tableau Structure:**
```
Project: Sales Team
└── Workbook: Sales Analysis
├── Dashboard: Revenue Overview (sheetType="dashboard")
├── Worksheet: Monthly Sales (sheetType="worksheet")
└── Story: Sales Story (sheetType="story")
```
**OpenMetadata Structure:**
```
Dashboard: "Revenue Overview" (Project: "Sales Team/Sales Analysis")
├── Chart: "Monthly Sales"
└── Chart: "Sales Story"
```
This mapping ensures that:
- Tableau dashboards appear as OpenMetadata dashboards (not charts)
- Workbook context is preserved in the project hierarchy
- URLs point directly to the specific dashboard views
- Chrome Extension compatibility is maintained
