Can Tableau send the WMS GetFeatureInfo request back to WMS server?

338 views Asked by At

I am deploying my own custom WMS, but I am having some issue to use WMS server in tableau other than show it as a background

Question 1: Can tableau send the WMS getFeatureInfo request back when user click the pixel on the WMS background map?

Question 2: Does tableau have the capability to take parameterized WMS URL?

for example: Is there anyway to input or replace the parameter "year" and "month" on tableau side.

Question 3: Can tableau do more things with WMS server, other than switch map layers and show maps as static beautiful background image?

Anything could help, thanks everyone in advance.

OK, just spoke to Tableau tech person face to face, the answers are NO to all my questions. WMS server for tableau, Background image only!!! nothing more, no parameters, no https, no pixel click request.
