All-new Tableau Mobile for iOS and Android
We're excited to introduce a redesigned version of Tableau Mobile for iOS and Android. The new app brings powerful search, an improved favourites experience and interactive offline previews right to your fingertips.
Automatic dashboard phone layouts
Authoring mobile dashboard layouts just got easier. Tableau will now automatically add phone layouts to new dashboards. Edit to customise this layout yourself, or enable “automatic layout mode”, which continuously syncs the phone layout with changes you make in the Default layout.
URL action improvements
URL actions can now target specific web zones in a dashboard, allowing authors the control to more seamlessly link to information that is hosted outside of their data source. Better integrate and add more meaningful content to your dashboard, and design more sophisticated app-like dashboards.
Vector maps
We're bringing a smoother mapping experience to Tableau Online, with vector tile background maps. Maps will look sharper and feel smoother than ever before, as you pan, zoom in, and zoom out to explore your geospatial data. Labels and icons automatically resize and reshape to fit the view, and labels fade in and out smoothly.
Nested sorting improvements
You can now perform nested sorting on multiple dimensions. Also included are updates to the sort dialog and toolbar sort button.
Dashboard zone names
You now have the ability to assign a name to any item on a dashboard, helping to better organise multiple zones when looking at the layout tree.
Azure SQL Data Warehouse connector
Connect directly to your data stored in Azure SQL Data Warehouse with our new connector.
Secure RServe connections
Build visualisations using the R statistical language in a secure environment. This allows RServe to be hosted remotely from Tableau Server and for data to be protected in transit.
Export to PowerPoint
Integrate your Tableau dashboards directly into presentations with a single click. Now you can easily export vizzes from Tableau Server or Tableau Online to PowerPoint as high-resolution images, complete with a link back to the workbook.
New data-driven alerts view
Subscribe to existing data-driven alerts. We’ve improved this experience with a new view that shows all alerts that already exist for the viz you are viewing. Adding yourself or others is easy – just select “Add me”.
Connect to and access Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive
Stay in the flow by connecting and accessing files from Dropbox, OneDrive and GoogleDrive to open Excel and CSV files from the browser.
Web authoring improvements
New in web authoring: The status bar comes to the browser and will show you the number of marks in your view to aid analysis. Update to context filters on the web. Quickly identity and change filters between context and dependent without leaving the browser. Cancel long-running queries so you can move on to the next thing faster.
Google Adwords connector
Gain deeper insights from your Google Adwords data. Connect and analyse your Google ad metrics in Tableau with our new connector.
Online admin insights
Understand how your own site is used through custom administrative views. And since they’re Tableau vizzes, you can customise them to fit your organisation's needs.
Connect to GBQ in the browser
Gain access to the trove of data in Google BigQuery by connecting to your data directly from the web.
Okta integration improvements
Better integrate your site with Okta identity management services to streamline user activation and deactivation, group provisioning and connections to Tableau site roles.
Ask Data
Ask a question, get an answer. Use natural language to ask questions and produce insights directly from any published data source. Ask Data supports many analytical capabilities of Tableau, including sorting, filtering and aggregations.
Tableau Bridge improvements
Gain confidence in the health of your extract refreshes by seeing greater details of the refresh history and run performance in admin views.
Metadata API
Tables, data sources, workbooks and sheets are available to query via a GraphQL API. The API includes common attributes like name, tags and uri, as well as type-specific information like field data types, data source certification, etc. The API will also allow you to query for connected items (e.g. tables & columns used by a specific data source).
Tableau Prep Conductor
Tableau Prep Conductor, a new add-on product for Tableau Online and Tableau Server, empowers IT departments, data stewards and analysts to consistently deliver prepared data in a scalable, reliable and secure server environment.
Mixed content types
Discover a new way to browse on Tableau Server and Tableau Online. You can now view data sources, workbooks and views from one project all on the same page. And filter by content type within that project.
Mobile layout preview on the web
Mobile dashboard design just got easier. You can now preview what your laptop, tablet, and phone layouts will look like directly in the desktop browser. Make any necessary formatting or content adjustments to your dashboards, and save knowing your mobile layouts are pixel perfect.
