# Refresh Tableau Data Source

> Add a Refresh Tableau Data Source command to a Paradime Bolt schedule to refresh Tableau data source extracts so dashboards stay in sync with dbt™ runs.

Refresh one or more [Tableau](/integrations/tableau) data source extracts from a Bolt schedule, so your dashboards reflect the latest data right after your dbt™ pipeline completes.

## Prerequisites

* Tableau connected as a [workspace integration](/integrations/tableau), with credentials set as [Bolt schedule environment variables](/products/settings/environment-variables/bolt-schedule-env-variables):
  * `TABLEAU_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN_NAME`
  * `TABLEAU_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET`
  * `TABLEAU_HOST`
  * `TABLEAU_SITE_NAME`
  * `TABLEAU_TIMEOUT` (optional; request timeout in seconds, default `300`)
* Credentials embedded in the data source (in Tableau, edit the data source, click **Publish**, and select **Embed credentials**).

## Usage

Add the **Refresh Tableau Data Source** command to your schedule, then choose how to **Identify data source by**:

* **Name or UUID** — enter the data source name or its UUID. Use the UUID when names are not unique; [list data sources and their UUIDs with the CLI](/developers/paradime-cli/tableau-cli#list-tableau-data-sources).
* **Project path + Name** — enter the full Tableau project path (for example, `Explore/Samples/TestNested/Nested2`) plus the data source name to fully qualify it.

Then click **Add command**.

<Danger>
  Tableau does not allow the same personal access token to be used for multiple requests at once, so data source refreshes run sequentially, not in parallel.
</Danger>
