Thank you for the connector!
I have followed the instructions, went to the url and entered username and password but nothing happens after that. The option to choose databases and layouts does not appear? Any idea why that is the case? I have the fmrest privilege activated and tableau 2019.2 is the used version
Kind regards,
Baran

Sorry I forgot to mention that the connector requires FileMaker server 18 dataAPI (there was many changes made to the "tableau" internal API introduced in 18)
