Secure RServe connections
Now use R in Tableau with greater security. Transfer data with an SSL/TLS secured connection for RServe integration in Tableau Desktop.
Multiple table storage for extracts
When joining multiple tables results in data redundancy, such as in row level security scenarios where a fact table is joined to an entitlement table, enjoy faster extract creation performance and decreased extract size.
Set actions
Select what values are in a set by directly interacting with marks on a viz. Visually drive calculations and seamlessly achieve multi-faceted comparative analysis like proportional brushing.
New user notifications
New single sign-on users get an automatic email notification when they are added to a Tableau Online site. The email lets users know where to sign-in and tips for using Tableau. This feature will release on a rolling basis and will be available on all sites soon after the broader launch.
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.
Web authoring improvements
In 2018.3, you will have more control over the size of annotations, duplicate a worksheet as a cross tab, and utilize image and button objects in dashboard creation. Additional improvements to web-saving times are also in this release to keep web authors in the analytical flow.
Tableau Bridge improvements
With this release, Tableau Bridge admins will be able to see more data around the performance of their extract refreshes and how best to manage them.
ESRI Geodatabase, KML, and TopoJSON support
We now support new spatial file connections to Esri File Geodatabases and TopoJSON files. We've updated the spatial file connector to support KML files with multiple layers.
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.
Transparent worksheet backgrounds
We are bringing dashboard design to the next level with the ability to give worksheets completely transparent backgrounds. Unleash your creativity to build presentation-ready dashboards that are visually stunning and effectively highlight your analysis. Use with transparent filters, highlighters, and parameters for a consistent look across your entire dashboard.
Heatmap
We’ve brought heatmaps, a powerful new mark type, to Tableau. With one click, turn millions of marks into a meaningful representation of your data. Understand where there are concentrations of points, and identify patterns in seconds—whether on a map or scatterplot.
Dashboard navigation button
Seamlessly navigate between dashboards with new dashboard buttons. A simple drag and drop creates a button that can navigate to a target dashboard, worksheet, or story. Customize the button with an image of your own, or add guiding tooltip text.
Navigation action
We've brought a new action type to Tableau. Easily add navigation between sheets with the navigation action, now available as an option in the actions dialog.
