I am quite new to Tableau !
I Wanted to know What are live Tiles? what are their advantages ?
Does Tableau support this feature of Live tiles something like this in dundas
What are the Other Tools having this feature ?
Please if somebody could help me on this ! i did alot of research with zero result !
From what I can see of that Dundas link, a live tile is a miniature representation of a dashboard that contains some of the dashboard's key elements. Live tiles could thus be used in combination to give a summary/overview of important dashboards, where clicking on each tile would take you to that particular dashboard.
At present, I do not believe that Tableau Server supports such functionality. If this is functionality that would be useful to your organisation, then please feel free to add an Idea to the Tableau Community Forum.

I am looking to generate an image from database information.
This is a feature used in many community websites to allow users to generate an image with their profile information to share in forum signatures and so on.
I have seen this executed by either generating an image link, or an embed code.
I understand this will probably not be a short answer, but I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction so I can research it.
Thankyou.
How to include large text description in QlikView Dashboard Reports to ease the visualizations of the users?
Can anybody suggest an example on this ?
Thanks
You can find demonstrations of QlikView Dashboards at http://demo.qlik.com, some of these have similar features to what you are looking for and may be downloaded for free. You can then inspect them to discover how certain features are implemented.
I am trying to place amazon search bar for books category in my website, where user searches for a book and is redirected to amazon website. My URL should be tagged with my associate ID so that i can earn some money.
The problem is i am unable to find any procedure to create such search bar. I have browsed through Product advertising API section, but it is very confusing.
I want exactly like this: http://amasearchbar.com/demo-blog/
Can someone help me how to make such autocomplete search bar, or provide me directly the code for it.
Any help is appreciated.
Amazon isn't likely to give instructions for how to create something like that - but they do give you the tools necessary to figure it out yourself if you're willing to learn their API.
Without more information, it's hard for anyone here to "help" you either.
That link you gave is to a WP plugin. Are you using WP? If so, your easiest bet is to buy the plugin and use that (I am not endorsing that plugin specifically, I have no experience with it).
If you give more specifics on what language you're wanting to use to create the search bar and its interaction with the API, and specific problems you run into while working on it, this community will be much more likely to help you. Questions to point you to a free source for the finished code of your project are not likely to get very far though.
Based on your previous questions, it seems likely that you are using Wordpress. If that's the case, and you don't know how to write the scripts to interact with the API then the easiest answer to your question by far is to either buy a plugin (perhaps the one you linked) or hire someone to write one. If you'd like to learn, there are a lot of resources online to help you start learning to write WP plugins.
Preface:
I am a system programmer (who has just started his career as a S/W Engineer), so not very good # web scripting languages, though I have just started learning them.
Problem Synopsis:
I want to write an app that keeps track of what I am doing and records it allowing me to analyse my time spending pattern and could help me analyse whenever I want.
Problem Description:
My plan is to write an app that sits in the background and keeps track of active window on my desktop (every second) and stores this data in a SQLite database. But to be more appealing (As I want to share this app with others), I want to have a feature where the user can analyse data recorded between any period of his interest. For this I want the user to be able to generate charts and graphs using the recorded data.
For this I thought of using browser for UI and Google Visualization APIs for plotting work. So, is it possible to use Google Visualization APIs to plot local data? if so, plz guide me on how to continue... (As told before, I am a system programmer, C programmer to be specific, who has just started learning web scripting in free time)
Reasons for these decisions:
(1) App that records what I am doing will be in C/C++ - B'coz I am system programmer and am very comfortable with them. And can get it done easily and quickly.
(2) SQLite - Very small and can easily be embedded in my app, and is Open Source. And I think many web scripting langs like PHP, python have interfaces to access SQLite DB.
(3) Browser for UI - Hope it will be easy for user to use browser, and I will not have much to do regarding UI. As main UI will be browser and Google Visualization APIs will do plotting. All I might have to do is write few lines of script (Am I right here on the last point???)
Comment on my design decision and any tutorials(or pointers) which teaches me on how to do this will be highly appreciated...
Thank You

#Nathan Baulch, Thank you so much for such a brilliant idea. \m/
I would embed browser to app (you want to write in C#)
and use jquery plotting as chart. You will find more info here: http://www.flotcharts.org/
Has anyone got any suggestions on how I can create a very simple graph for a web application? It is to show energy consumption levels per month for a year at a time.
So basically I want it to look like (assuming my ASCII works)

Yeah it doesn't so I've changed my open id image to the sample

Sorry for the long winded approach - a question for another time - free image hosting by openid (and another site probably)
Cheers
You should try Google Charts API. There are some nice usage examples that seem to create what you want.
If I were you, I'd take a look at Google's Chart API - it will do exactly what you want with the minimum of hassle.
There is also the new ASP.NET Chart Control.
You can also use the new Silverlight charting components from Microsoft. Free and they will render simply images.
If you don't mind a JavaScript dependency, the Google Visualization API is pretty nifty.
It's a standard interface to many visualizations, including linecharts, image-based line charts (uses the Google Charts API), and many others which may fit your need even better..
