SAMUEL PARSONS: Welcome to What's New in Tableau 2023.1. In this video,
I'll walk you through the top five features
that you need to know from Tableau's first release of the year.
I'm Samuel Parsons a Tableau Visionary.
Let's get started.
As you can see, this release is packed with great features.
For the full list, you can visit tableau.com,
but for now, we'll focus on Accelerator Data Mapping, Tableau
for Slack enhancements, dynamic access titles, Identity Pools,
and user attribute functions.
For me, personally, I'm really looking forward to the Accelerator Data Mapping
feature.
This feature really does have the power to make Accelerator
reports accessible for everyone.
With my experience in creating Accelerator Reports from my company
Bizstory, anything that really helps to reduce the lack of entry
to those using reports is a big win!
To begin, we have Accelerator Data Mapping.
Accelerator Data Mapping helps you seamlessly
integrate your data into Tableau Accelerators' ready-to-use dashboards.
With Data Mapping, you can jump start your analytics even faster
by reducing the time and effort required to set up the Accelerator's
ready-to-use dashboard.
Now when you configure an Accelerator, you can easily map fields from the data
to the fields the Accelerator requires.
The Data Mapping dialog box is open by default for Accelerators
and can always be accessed through the data tab.
With a simple drop-down menu, you are able to align
the fields as desired to get started using
expert-built dashboards in minutes.
Tableau's versatility is one of the reasons why customers love it.
This, however, requires authors to make sure vizzes and dashboards are
crystal clear to their users.
Dynamic Axis Titles will make Tableau much more flexible
and help authors improve the clarity of their visualizations.
With the 2023.1 release, Axis Titles can now
be based on a single value field or parameter.
You can configure dynamic access titles in the "Edit Axis" dialog.
Just pick the parameter or single-value fields you want to show on the axis--
it is as simple as that.
Authors can also let the user pick what measure to show,
and with Dynamic Axis Titles, users will know exactly what they are looking at.
This flexibility is especially important for more complex dashboards.
Next, we have enhancements for the Tableau
for Slack app that make it easier to collaborate on insights.
With this release, you can put data at the center of every conversation
and decision by connecting Tableau slides to a Slack workspace.
Now the Slack app supports link confirming
to display metadata and permission-aware previews of content in channels and DMs
so you can quickly recognize and act on insights.
To keep you in the flow of work, you can also search Tableau Views directly
in Slack and share them.
For convenient access, you can also get your top five favorites and recents
in the App homepage, so you're only a click away
from your most important content.
And just as before, you can still receive
notifications for data-driven alerts, comment mentions, and sharing activity.
Identity Pools will enable you to branch out of the strict single-identity store
limitation we have in Tableau Server.
An Identity Pool is a combination of a "Source of Users",
traditionally called new Identity Store, and an authentication mechanism.
With this feature, you will be able to add additional pools where
you can have your source of users unlock to a local identity store
and have them authenticate with OpenID Connect for modern authentication.
This added flexibility will be particularly helpful for organizations
that have a set of external users that need access to Tableau,
but they are not able to invite to their corporate Active Directory.
We're continuing to invest in our Attribute-based Access
Controls over User Attribute Functions for Embedded scenarios.
User Attribute Function adds two new user functions:
UserAttribute() and UserAttributeMatches() which allows you
to pass attributes at run-time, helping you enhance row-level security.
Using the new User Attribute Function, you
can send user context- such as department, region, or company-
in their Connected App single sign on authentication flow
to define what data can be viewed at load time in an embedding scenario.
Tableau will automatically pass the user context
and only show data pertaining to a user's permissions.
Helping you control data access and enforce data security policies
by ensuring that users only see the information they are authorized to see,
while still providing them with a highly personalized experience.
Passing user attributes in an Embedded Analytics scenario
enhances your ability to customize access to your embedded vizzes
and enhance your users' experience.
That wraps up those 2023.1 highlights.
Thanks for joining.
I can't wait to see what you all do with Tableau's latest capabilities.
