configuring subscribers

elouej balkis Oct 5, 2016 7:54 AM

Hello,

I ‘m having with configuring subscribers ,I can’t figure out a way to configure alert and subscribtions

I followed this steps :

1) In the Alerts tab and subscriptions to the Tableau Server Configuration Utility, I selected Enable email subscriptions.

2) I selected SMTP Settings tab.

Under SMTP server: Enter the name of your SMTP server.

3) I stopped the tableau and restart

I didn’t find the icon “subscribe” on top right of the window.

Help please it's urgent

in order for the subscribe icon to show up, in addition to what you did, there needs to be at least one enabled subscribe schedule and the view needs to have embedded credentials. Do you have both of these?

this looks correct. In order for the subscribe button to show up, a subscription needs to be defined. Do you admin rights to do this?
