Tableau screenshots are displayed on monitors throughout Broad using the process described below and scripts described here:
Tableau server configuration and support#ScreenshotScripts

...

• Primary method of managing these monitors/computers: From specific computers set up as access points.
• Secondary method of managing these monitors/computers: Bluetooth keyboards paired with the monitors/computers (currently stored at Kristen's desk on the top shelf).
• Most of the computers are hidden either behind its monitor or on the other side of the wall its monitor is on.

...

To manage using bluetooth keyboard/mouse:

...

• Get BITS to add your own computer's IP address to the list of approved VNC-accessing machines (old list in attached PDF, see BITS INC0078954 ). To add a computer to this list, ask BITS to add your IP address to the Lab av VNC 320c_lab_av_users group.
  • VNC Viewer 5.3.2 0 now installed on tableau-ts-beta, . As of 20191022: VNC Viewer can connect fine to Tableau monitors except Samples Lab, which requires "Chicken of the VNC" (Mac) or "TightVNC" (Windows)both the Sequencing hallway monitors and the Samples lab monitors.
• Run VNC viewer (or tight or Chicken). ( Software available for download here: VNC Viewer software , (or TightVNC software,  or ChickenOfTheVNC software)
• BEFORE connecting to the monitor machine, disable keyboard and mouse input in VNC Options/Preferences > Inputs (so as to not disrupt the screensavers).
• Enter the IP address of the target VNC server computer (see table below).
  
  • Password is required on monitors with new VNC licenses (same easy PW on all monitors except the Stanley Center). (None No PW required on monitors with old VNC licenses, but that should change when BITS corrects the licenses).
• This lets you see the monitor as it is.
• To actually change its settings, "enable mouse input" must be checked (this can be done once you're connected, by accessing the hidden toolbar in the top center of the screen).
• After making changes and disabling the mouse, the screensaver should just start after one minute (so you can check the screenshots)

Screenshots are created using scripts & batch files run on tableau.broadinstitute.org and stored in \\gp-reports\TABLEAU_Files\Screenshots\ in the subfolders listed below. Batch files run on the individual monitor computers (ex: C:\Local\Scripts) copy the images from the TABLEAU_Files location to C:\Local\Screenshots. Details in RPT-4515.

(Note: Zach's iMac & the GP lounge computer may not be accessible via VNC)
