Tableau Next: Viz and Dashboard Authoring Enhancements
Tableau Next takes the friction out of building, from your first viz to the finished dashboard. Select multiple fields at once, drop them onto the canvas, and build complex charts like waterfalls faster. Duplicate widgets, copy styles, and manage multi-page dashboards with simple right-clicks, so you spend less time on layout and more time on analysis.
Viz and Dashboard Authoring Enhancements are generally available in Tableau Next.
