Tableau 8.1 is in Beta! And So Are Your Ideas

Tableau 8.1 is now in beta. If you were at TCC13, you got a preview of this release. From new web authoring features to user experience improvements and new statistical functions including integration with R, this release has a lot going for it. And over 22 ideas that you requested are in the Beta.

The Ideas Forum is a place where customers can contribute and and vote on ideas. Our product team regularly looks at these ideas and t heir comments to better understand user requests.

Every time a new release goes into beta, we mark those ideas that have been addressed as BETA.

Here are the 22 ideas that are now in beta with Tableau 8.1, and their vote count.

You'll notice the excitement over "Change the starting week day." This is a particularly important issue in Europe. For a while, it was our top-voted idea so it's especially gratifying for us at Tableau to be able to deliver this feature.

If you weren't at TCC and want to watch the keynote, you can. And if you want to get involved with the 8.1 beta, contact your sales rep to sign up.
