Changing the Tableau Repository Location on Laptop

My Tableau Repository directory, which is automatically created in your My Documents folder when you install Tableau. Your work files can also be saved in other locations, such as your desktop or a network directory. This will help you when you have a disc space  limitation on a specific drive.

Changing the Repository Location

You can specify a new location for the Tableau repository if you are not using the default location in your Documents folder. For instance, if you are required to have your data on a network server instead of on your local machine, you can pointbleau at the remote repository.
  1. Select File > Repository Location.
  2. Select a new folder that will act as the new repository location in the Select a Repository dialog box.
  3. Restart Tableau so that it uses the new repository.
Changing the repository location does not move the files contained in the original repository. Instead, Tableau creates a new repository where you can store your files.
