Showing data refresh date in Tableau Desktop - date

I want to show the date of the data source refresh but I did not find any Tableau function that can help me.
Do you know?
Thanks.

Yes, it can be done. Here are the steps (found here):
Option 1: Add the time stamp to the top of the view
Open the workbook that contains the dashboard in Tableau Desktop, and then navigate to the sheet for which you want to display the time of the last data refresh.
Select Worksheet > Show Title.
Double-click the title.
In the Edit Title dialog box, select Insert > Data Update Time, and then click OK.
Add any field to the filter shelf and leave all selections blank and click OK.
Save the modifications.
Add sheet to dashboard.
Option 2: Add the time stamp to the bottom of the view
Open the workbook that contains the dashboard in Tableau Desktop, and then navigate to the sheet for which you want to display the time of the last data refresh.
Select Worksheet > Show Caption.
Double-click the caption.
In the Edit Caption dialog box, select Insert > Data Update Time, and then click OK.
Add any field to the filter shelf and leave all selections blank and click OK.
Save the modifications.
Add sheet to dashboard.
8 . Right click the sheet and select Caption to show the update time.
These sheets can be sized in the dashboard to take up as much or as little space as necessary. They can also be set up as floating objects so that they do not resize the other sheets in the view.

The easiest way is to:
double click on Title (on the Sheet)
click the Insert button
click Data Update Time

Editable text box on MS Access 2010 - Behavior correct?

I have a continuous form which displays an overview/summary of my data. A user can select a row and click a button I created in the footer to open another form which has all the detail for that particular record and be able to edit it. This works fine. However I would also like for certain fields to be editable from the continuous form. I enabled two fields I would like users to edit directly (One is a combo box selection and the other a text box) When users click the combo box for any record it works fine and they can go back to the same record and select another value if they wish. All great but the text box behaves rather differently - The text box will allow the user to initially enter a value but after entry the box appears disabled and the only way to change the initial data entry is to go into the detail form which still works. Why can't users change the text box from the continuous form after an initial entry?
I found the issue!
There was a conditional filter on that particular field

Hide title in tableau view

I want to hide the title("CT School Districts by Income and Grade Level Equivalents, 2009-13") of view when I display it on iframe. Should I change the src?
<iframe src="https://public.tableau.com/views/CTSchoolDistrictsbyIncomeandGradeLevels2009-13/Sheet1?:embed=y&:display_count=yes&:toolbar=n&:showVizHome=no"
width="645" height="955"></iframe>
In the Tableau menu, go to Worksheet and deselect "Show Title". Then re-save and re-publish to the server to get rid of the title.
There is no way to remove title from the shared link.
Just edit and republish dashboard.

Tableau - keeping a sheet static in dashboard

I have 4 sheets that are put up in the tableau dashboard.
Sheet 1: Total no. Of user IDs (population). Text
Sheet 2: total user ids based on selection in sheet 3 and sheet 4.
Sheet 3 & 4: Bar graph of user ids based on company and vendor. Both the sheets are "use as filter"
Sheet 1 has to be static in the dashboard whether we select any filter or when we select any bar on sheet 3 and 4.
Now the issue is when I select any bar on the sheet 3 and 4 both sheet 1 and 2 shows same count.
I have removed all filters from population sheet.
I tried to even ignore action in sheet1, it's still not working
What I want now is what ever the selection is , sheet 1 in the dashboard should be static. Please help.
Regards, Sajan
Try this;
Check the filters on all the sheets to see if they are set to filter the Data Source, set them, to your preferences.
If you can (watch out for sensitive data) upload your sheet to Tableau public, it'll be easier to find your bottleneck.
What's happening is called an automatically generated action. When you click "use as filter" on a sheet on your dashboard, you're creating an action that affects all other items on that dashboard. Go to the Dashboard, then click on the dashboard menu at the top of the screen, then click "Actions..."
You should see the filter that you created there. Select the action, then click "edit".
You should now see something similar to the below picture. What you need to do for each action (you should have two, one from each sheet that is being used as a filter) is uncheck the static sheet on the list of Target Sheets on the bottom half of the Edit Filter Action dialogue box.
This will prevent anything happening to the static sheet (in this case, "Count of Employee Transactions") when you click on the sheets being used as filters.

Drag your title between rows line and starting of worksheet as :

Here is a workaround that I found:
Right click on the title area and select Hide
On main menu: Worksheet and then select Show title :
Here is an another approach for the same:
1.Right click on the area where Pages Shelf, Filter Shelf and Marks are appeared.

Jasper reports Parameter Form

Im pretty new to JasperReport Server. I have had success using JasperReport Sever 4.7(Community edition) and calling jasper reports (using jasperviewer)from within a java application.
My problem is:
1. To create my own parameter form which pops up when a user clicks a button linking to a jasper report.
User to be able to enters the desired parameters (preferably selectable from a list) then when the user presses enter or ok on this page, it passes the values to the jasper report accordingly.
Any assistance would be highly appreciated.
For the first, when you create your report and save in your Jasper repository -
Just right-clik the report folder (the one containing your Main.jrxml) and click on Properties. A dialog box appears.
Go to Other tab. Next to Controls Layout label there will be a drop-down box. Select Pop-up Screen on that. Your job is done.
For the second, you can definitely have a select list. There are two ways to generate values for the list - by using a query or entering manually. The steps are:
In your report folder in the repository, under your main.jrxml file there will be an Input Controls folder. Right click on it and click on Create a local input control. A dialog box will appear.
On the General tab give the ID and name for the input control (ID must match to your respective parameter name).
Go to Input Control Details tab. Select type as "Single Select Query" or "Single Select List of Values" as per your requirements. Enter the query or values and your job is done.
