How is the performance of views evaluated?

The evaluation of view performance in Tableau primarily focuses on load times and session counts because these metrics provide direct insights into how efficiently a view is functioning. Load times refer to the amount of time it takes for a dashboard or report to render and be usable for the end-user. This is critical in ensuring that users can quickly access the data they need without unnecessary delays, which can affect their overall experience and productivity.

Session counts indicate how often a view is accessed, reflecting its popularity and potentially its usefulness to users. A high session count alongside acceptable load times suggests that the view is performing well and is likely meeting user needs effectively.

In contrast, assessing user satisfaction can provide subjective feedback but does not offer concrete metrics to gauge performance directly. Total revenue generated might be relevant in specific business contexts but does not measure view performance specifically within Tableau. User training attendance, while important for enhancing user knowledge and capabilities, is not a direct measure of how well the views themselves are performing in terms of speed or usage metrics. Hence, focusing on load times and session counts offers the most relevant and quantifiable approach to evaluating view performance.
