Coming soon in Tableau 2021.3

0:00Hey it's Tim here, Tableau 2021.3 is kind

0:03of out already. Really interestingly today

0:06Tableau

0:07updated the coming soon page. The coming

0:10soon page is normally released before the

0:13features

0:13are announced but essentially a couple of

0:16weeks ago, in fact two weeks ago, Tableau

0:18Online

0:19upgraded to the new features and there's

0:21sort of an acknowledgement of that on this

0:23page. You can

0:23see here that there's a notice for Tableau

0:25Online subscribers that they might already

0:27have some of

0:28the features listed on this page. So in

0:31some ways 21.3 is already here so I'm going

0:34to get stuck

0:35into it right away. I'm not going to hold

0:36back, we're going to make a video about

0:38what the features

0:38are. What I'm going to do is initially just

0:40go through the features, try and sort of

0:42talk through

0:43what's going on in this release and then

0:45there's actually some things I can already

0:46show you. So

0:47I'm just going to go ahead and do that in

0:49this video and then we'll do the usual drip

0:51feed of

0:51features as we sort of dig into them and do

0:53proper videos. But I've already had time to

0:55play with some

0:55of them through the pre-release program so

0:57we can just get stuck in because they're

0:59available on

0:59Tableau Online so you know why not. So here

1:02we are, it's a really interesting release.

1:05It's

1:05actually the first time I've seen Tableau

1:07acknowledge the fact that some of these

1:09features

1:10are already out there. It's kind of

1:12interesting, I used to really like the fun

1:14fair of just you know

1:15all the features dropping on one day and

1:17with Tableau Online recently it's actually

1:19become

1:19apparent that the upgrade goes live a

1:21little bit sooner. So actually if you're

1:23using Tableau Online

1:24you're already on some of these features.

1:25The only thing you probably wouldn't have

1:27had access to is

1:28the installer for Tableau Desktop. So if

1:30you're using web altering you've got

1:32probably all the

1:33features you need through that but of

1:35course if you're using desktop you won't

1:36have seen some of

1:37these new features pop up. So it's really

1:39sort of nice to see that Tableau are

1:41acknowledging that

1:42they just don't hold back, they just

1:44upgrade things as and when. But it can

1:46cause some instability

1:47sometimes, sometimes upgrades come with

1:49bugs and so having the documentation is

1:51super super handy

1:53when we're sort of looking through all this

1:54content. Now as I look through this page

1:56there's

1:57some really sort of nice sort of small

1:58features here that I think people are going

2:01to like.

2:01And there's also some features not listed

2:03on here, I'll show you how to find the

2:04other features that

2:05are not listed on this page, the sort of

2:06the panickety ones. This tends to be the

2:08sort of more

2:09nicely polished page. If you check out my

2:12video on how to stay up to date with new

2:14Tableau features

2:14you'll see that I actually went through the

2:16like seven different places that you can

2:18find out about

2:18what's new. So check that video out. So

2:21yeah like I said this is a pretty small

2:22release so let's

2:23just quickly go through this. We're just

2:25going to quickly go through this then we'll

2:27do sort of a

2:28deep dive. I've created timestamps across

2:30the bottom of this video so you can sort of

2:32follow

2:32along whether you want to do the quick

2:34summary or go straight to the feature,

2:35there'll be a

2:36timestamp for both of those. So check those

2:38out and get stuck in. Right the first one

2:40is linked

2:41task with Tableau Prep Conductor. Now it's

2:43really really apparent that Tableau are now

2:46piling

2:47features into the new license regime so if

2:49you're using Prep Conductor you're going to

2:51have to be on

2:52the new sort of licensing regime to be able

2:54to take advantage of this. But this is nice

2:57because

2:57you can essentially set one prep flow to

2:59you know run on an automated schedule and

3:02then have another

3:03prep flow run immediately after. Up until

3:05now what you've had to do is sort of set

3:07them on staggered

3:08sort of schedules or set them to run at the

3:10same time and hope that one runs before the

3:13other.

3:14But essentially it's never sort of been a

3:15sweet task. The benefit of having linked

3:18tasks is look

3:19if the first one doesn't run well then the

3:21second one isn't going to be sort of just

3:22running for no

3:23reason. So this is a really sort of nice

3:25thing to have. It would be also great to

3:27have this for

3:28extract refreshes. Imagine linked extract

3:30refreshes on Tableau Server this would be

3:32super super cool

3:33and it would allow us to do so many really

3:35cool things. But it's nice to see the

3:37thinking coming

3:38through in a new product in Tableau Prep

3:40Conductor. It'll be interesting to see how

3:43this works out. We

3:43can actually have a look at this a little

3:45later on Tableau Online so stick around for

3:47that if you're

3:48up for seeing how that works. Generate rows

3:50with Tableau Prep. I actually already

3:52posted something

3:52on twitter about this. This is super cool.

3:55Essentially it's got three modes. It can

3:57either

3:57work with serial numbers so you know one

4:00two three four five six seven eight nine

4:02ten and it will

4:03look at the data and essentially fill in

4:05the gaps where there is the series is sort

4:07of empty if that

4:08makes sense. So if let's say you have the

4:10number one to ten it will look at one and

4:12ten and it'll

4:13fill the gap in between and give you eight

4:15rows of data essentially in between those

4:17rows. The other

4:18mode works with dates exactly the same. It

4:20would look at two dates the min and the max

4:22or you can

4:23give it the starting point and finish point

4:25and then it will fill in all the missing

4:26dates in

4:27between those dates and then generate the

4:29rows. And then the last one is giving it

4:31two dates so

4:32giving it a start date and an end date for

4:34one particular record and so it will

4:36generate the

4:36rows for one record and fill in the gap for

4:39that particular record. So three really

4:41nice modes.

4:42Again we'll get stuck into that in a little

4:45while but again it's a nice sort of quality

4:47of life

4:48improvement because it makes data scaff

4:50olding for certain use cases much much

4:52easier. I actually

4:53managed to talk myself into a use case for

4:54the video for this feature that I've

4:56actually already

4:57done and check that out when it gets

4:58released next week but I'm actually going

5:00to do a really

5:01nice use case using support desk data so

5:03check that out when I actually get around

5:05to that at

5:06some point next week or the week after. But

5:08nonetheless it's a nice sort of quality of

5:10life

5:10improvement. We're going to check it out

5:12very soon so stick around if you want to

5:14see that.

5:14Data quality warnings and subscription

5:16emails. So we've had subscriptions sort of

5:18coming out now.

5:19This is sort of turning into a bread and

5:21butter capability of Tableau and now the

5:24data quality

5:24warnings are going to be embedded in those

5:26emails so you'll see some sort of update

5:29and if there's a

5:29problem with that update it will tell you

5:30so you know what you're looking at which is

5:32kind of again

5:32a nice a nice improvement and it's kind of

5:34to be expected these are sort of things

5:36that come from

5:37customers they don't just sort of come from

5:39nowhere. Inherited descriptions in web

5:41authoring. So

5:42this is sort of nice with the Tableau

5:44catalog you can now sort of see inherited

5:46descriptions right

5:47within web authoring so essentially what

5:49this means is when you start to work within

5:51web

5:51authoring you can see the descriptions that

5:53have been loaded into the Tableau catalog.

5:55Now

5:56it's interesting that this is only in web

5:58authoring and it's not in desktop it kind

5:59of

6:00suggests that the desktop experience isn't

6:02quite as well connected as we sort of think

6:05it is and

6:05so maybe they're still working sort of the

6:07the back end of that to try and make that

6:09sort of a

6:10little bit better or maybe this is a

6:12feature that will only ever stay in web

6:13authoring and what we're

6:15really seeing here is a real sort of sort

6:17of transition to web authoring. So we never

6:21know

6:21about these things we can only speculate

6:23but it'd be interesting to see where that

6:24goes. Really cool

6:26Tableau notifications in Slack. This

6:28actually got announced like a couple of

6:30weeks ago but it wasn't

6:31possible to sort of set this all up so I've

6:33actually set up a Slack account we're going

6:35to

6:35be setting these up and seeing how our

6:37notifications come from Tableau online over

6:40into Slack. Another

6:41thing I'm going to be doing is I'm actually

6:43going to be setting up a Tableau server

6:44that I'm going

6:44to be using throughout this whole entire

6:47sort of year coming up and we're going to

6:49have lots of

6:50videos and lots of content on Tableau

6:51server as well. I just sort of decided to

6:53bite the bullet

6:54and go in there and get hold of Tableau

6:56server. I'm sort of trying to navigate how

6:59to get hold

6:59of a license key though so I'm trying to

7:01figure out a pragmatic way of doing that

7:03and I'm sort of

7:04thinking of the best option might just be

7:06to buy one so that I get a proper sort of

7:08genuine

7:09experience of what's that like what that is

7:12like and also a seat in terms of creator

7:15explorer and

7:16viewer so one of each and then also look at

7:18some of the Tableau e-learning licenses

7:20that get sort

7:21of bundled in with that and sort of go

7:22through that experience and talk a bit more

7:24about how

7:24that works because I realize for many

7:26people buying Tableau is not something you

7:28may be

7:29familiar with so once you start to

7:30understand that process that might be a

7:31good perspective to see. So

7:33Tableau notifications in Slack we're going

7:36to check it out and be interesting to see

7:38how sort

7:39of that works. Personal spaces now this is

7:41pretty cool I'm going to dive into this

7:43again in Tableau

7:44online you might have seen this already if

7:46you're using Tableau online just pop up on

7:47the left hand

7:48side this is a great place for starting to

7:50save your own content you can move content

7:52into your

7:52personal space it's entirely private to you

7:54so no one else can really see what's going

7:56on. Admins

7:57can see how much space is being taken up

7:59they can see the content but I don't

8:01believe that they can

8:02see the actual workbooks themselves so we

8:04'll do a little bit of a test we'll log in

8:06and log out

8:06and make sure that that all looks good.

8:09Okay so let's close this and go to the next

8:11one.

8:11Explain data improvements since expanding

8:14explain data to viewers on Tableau server

8:16and Tableau

8:16online we've continued to improve the

8:18experience by refining permissions and

8:20explanation types.

8:22Site administrators now have the

8:23flexibility to choose when to enable or

8:25disable explain data

8:26features on their site. So in the first

8:29release of this feature the author

8:31basically had the ability

8:33to set whether explain data was available

8:36to the user or not this is adding something

8:38to that which

8:39is essentially giving the admin the ability

8:41at a site level to say look explain data is

8:44enabled or

8:44it's not enabled on this particular feature

8:46. That's good for site admin controls

8:48especially

8:48if you're using sort of Tableau sites as

8:51this ability to sort of test things you

8:54might have

8:55for example explain data enabled on one

8:57site which is like your dev site as it were

8:59and then have it

9:00disabled on your production site. Give

9:02authors the ability to really get sort of

9:05grips and see if

9:06this is useful give potential testers the

9:08ability to see what they can get from it

9:10then really

9:11refine what you have selected and what you

9:13have enabled so this allows you to sort of

9:15create that

9:15split personality between the two

9:17environments and then people can start to

9:19sort of get to know

9:20this a little bit more but nonetheless

9:22again it's a small improvement but it's

9:23always welcome when

9:24admins get a little bit more control on the

9:27server. Custom sample workbooks in desktop

9:30now this is

9:30this is so uh man this is so good um over

9:33here in the bottom when you open up Tableau

9:35along the

9:36bottom of the view you always get some

9:38sample workbooks and you're now going to be

9:40able to have

9:40custom sample workbooks this is this is so

9:43important for you know culture within

9:46organizations

9:46maybe you have a dashboard template maybe

9:48you have some best practice dashboards that

9:51you'd like to

9:51circulate across your organization imagine

9:54opening up Tableau and having a starter

9:56workbook in there

9:57that goes through the Tableau culture or

9:59the Tableau enterprise setup in your

10:01organization

10:02through the product of Tableau you could

10:04even have videos embedded in that workbook

10:06that guide you

10:07through where to find things how to get

10:09started how to set everything up even sort

10:11of tutorials

10:12sort of all built into that workbook and

10:13then have that embedded here and sort of

10:15get that working so

10:17it's going to be super cool to see what

10:18people do with this i'm sure this is going

10:20to be a great

10:20sort of surface for lots of creativity and

10:22just allowing people to start to customize

10:24the product

10:25so it suits them you could already

10:27customize this right-hand side pane with a

10:29web page so you can

10:30could already do this i haven't seen this

10:32happen too much but you could already do

10:34this and so

10:35now you've kind of got this ability to

10:36control the right-hand side and the bottom

10:38pane in a much much

10:40easier way so that's really cool to see and

10:42the next one rename published data sources

10:44so this one

10:46um this is specifically i think from Table

10:48au server and Tableau online you can

10:50actually go in there

10:51and rename published data sources once they

10:53're published i believe you used to only be

10:54able to

10:55do this by publishing them and essentially

10:57overwriting them and then deleting the old

10:59one

11:00essentially but now you can rename them

11:01which means you know when things need to

11:03change you

11:04can kind of sort of tidy things up and it's

11:05a lot lot better to use the nice thing

11:07about this is that

11:08this name change won't break workbook so

11:10essentially this is not surprising because

11:12essentially all

11:13data sources and workbooks in Postgres work

11:16on the basis of an id number so everything

11:18has always

11:19worked using id numbers in the back end so

11:21really changing the name would not have

11:23broken any sort

11:24of relationship between the two things a

11:26workbook or published data source so just

11:28having the sort

11:29of cosmetic name carry all the way through

11:31the entire sort of infrastructure is a

11:33really sort

11:34of nice addition there's a couple more

11:36spatial improvements here previously when

11:38you did spatial

11:39joins you could only do them between

11:41certain types and now they're expanding the

11:43sort of different

11:44combinations that you can do so you've got

11:47a polygon line polygon and polygon line and

11:50line

11:50to allow for more complete and advanced

11:53analysis of your data in this example a

11:55line line spatial

11:56join is being used to intersect one data

11:59set that contains major california highway

12:01networks as

12:02lines and the other data that contains

12:04false lines also lines this helps us

12:06understand which

12:07highway networks are particularly

12:09susceptible to seismic activities so the

12:12way this is working is

12:13you take two spatial objects let's say you

12:16have a river and a road okay and it's

12:18basically taking

12:19the two spatial objects and when you do a

12:21spatial join what it's actually seeing is

12:23look do these two

12:24spatial objects over over overlap in that

12:27sense and if they overlap it keeps both of

12:30them available

12:31in the data set then you can visualize them

12:33so if you sort of look at this example here

12:35you can see

12:36that the fault lines i think are in red

12:38they i'm the reason i'm assuming the fault

12:41lines are in

12:42red because they tend to follow this sort

12:44of path along the along the coast and they

12:46sort of curve

12:47all the way around and then the blue lines

12:49to me seem like they're roads because they

12:51're sort of

12:52following more sort of jaggedy lines and

12:54they seem to go around uh you know roads

12:57tend to avoid

12:58places of high mountainous regions so they

13:00tend to go around them as much as possible

13:02so that's

13:02why there's probably a gap there um and

13:04there's sort of lots of roads around around

13:06the coastal

13:07side here so that's why i'm thinking they

13:09're like that but i might be completely

13:10wrong

13:11um once we sort of get hold of the product

13:13we can try this for ourselves and we can

13:14see what's going

13:15on uh we've got another spatial um uh

13:18feature here to enable even more users to

13:20perform spatial

13:21analysis in tableau we've added more wkt

13:25and geojason support to tableau easily

13:28translate

13:29wkt and geojason text markup found in excel

13:32and csv data sources directly into usable

13:36spatial

13:36geometry in tableau that's a strange one i

13:38'll have to read the documentation for that

13:40because i have

13:41no idea what that means um man spatial file

13:44types just they're just so many i just i'm

13:47always amazed

13:48like they have first of all you have tons

13:50of different spatial file types then you

13:52have tons

13:53of coordinate systems and it's just so much

13:55going on with spatial data i always find it

13:57amazing but

13:58then again you know the world's a complex

13:59place they're going to come up with lots of

14:01different

14:01ways of mapping the world and so that's to

14:04be expected i guess iso 8601 calendar

14:06support

14:07improvements so we're expanding iso 8601

14:10support to more and more databases so this

14:12was actually

14:13something that was added in the past and i

14:14believe all that's happening here is that

14:16we've added

14:17support for the db2 connector essentially

14:19the db2 is a type of database i think and

14:21this is now

14:22going to be supported in that so that's

14:24good to see our web altering improvements

14:25man web altering

14:26keeps picking up new workbook formatting

14:28pane with a new workbook formatting pane

14:31you can now have the

14:32ability to format your visualizations and

14:34dashboards while altering on the web now we

14:37're

14:37going to check this out later in this video

14:39because this this has to be seen this is

14:41one of the biggest

14:42blockers to finishing a workbook on tableau

14:45server so and tableau online as well so you

14:48know this if

14:48this is actually picking up pace and i can

14:51right click something and format it and i

14:53can get most

14:54of the way there you might even start to

14:56see people editing workbooks at least on

14:58tableau

14:59online and tableau server rather than

15:01having to download them using the connected

15:03experience or

15:04the old way of just downloading it and sort

15:06of getting it working drag to reorder

15:08single legends

15:09so the new drag to reorder legends feature

15:11enables you to reorder single legends while

15:13in an altering

15:13mode that's pretty cool i think that's

15:15probably more of a user interaction thing

15:17through web

15:17altering it's it sounds to me like web

15:20altering is also sort of taking advantage

15:22of the format

15:23or the web so it's maybe going to get

15:25features that we won't ever see in desktop

15:27just because of

15:27the the way the web works so we'll be able

15:30to sort of see how that works new browser

15:32formula

15:33authoring capabilities you can solve data

15:35problems with even most let's start again

15:38you can solve

15:39data problems with even the most advanced

15:41filtering requirements from web authoring

15:43from your own

15:44formulas so that's interesting are we going

15:45to have to play with that and really

15:47understand what

15:47that means i'll go through the

15:49documentation when we get into that in a

15:50second and we'll kind of see

15:51what that actually means so so qr

15:54relationship queries so i'm connecting to

15:57salesforce a data

15:59using custom soql you can now access

16:01multiple objects at once using soql

16:03relationship queries

16:05easily pull fields from multiple objects in

16:08a single query this is cool um when you

16:10connect

16:10to salesforce data you can okay so this is

16:12cool you can actually connect to salesforce

16:14directly

16:15and essentially use salesforce sql i think

16:18that's what that actually is soql i've

16:20never i've never

16:21heard of that in my life i just read it as

16:23if i had but i have no clue so let's go and

16:25check it out

16:26sql so s salesforce object query language

16:29okay is the language used to query data

16:31from your salesforce

16:32organization so it sounds like a salesforce

16:35specific um sql and i'm not surprised that

16:37we have

16:37this now because essentially of course it's

16:40like salesforce and stablize so tablo

16:42better support

16:43all the capabilities that salesforce has to

16:45offer new ways to connect to google big big

16:48query use

16:48google cloud services accounts to securely

16:51create and manage your connections to big

16:53google big

16:54query at scale so i think this is

16:56essentially the capability to um to uh i'm

17:00not actually sure i

17:02know what this means actually i thought i i

17:04thought i thought i was i thought i knew

17:06what

17:06this meant so google cloud service accounts

17:08to securely create and manage your

17:10connections

17:10to google big query at scale what i don't

17:13understand about this is why are they

17:15showing

17:15a saved credential option over here so to

17:19me um i thought this was going to be about

17:22using your

17:22google credentials to log into google big

17:24query but it looks like it's slightly

17:26different because

17:28it looks like what you can do is you can

17:29export credentials through some sort of

17:31json file

17:32and upload them and not have to go through

17:34the whole pane of setting them up but

17:36potentially you

17:37get that file from google big query i'm

17:39assuming that might be what it is but um

17:41purely speculating

17:42we can have a go at that at some point um i

17:45don't tend to have the ability to try out

17:47lots of data

17:48sources because essentially there's just so

17:50many data sources and it takes such a long

17:52time to

17:52get everything set up then have the

17:54knowledge to actually really fully utilize

17:56them so unless it's

17:57something like snowflake or sql server or

17:59something very obvious that you know most

18:01people have used

18:02it's not very easy thing to sort of demo

18:04and get into so maybe at some point in the

18:06future who

18:07knows uh what will be a little bit bigger

18:09and we'll be able to sort of spin up um

18:11some some

18:12sort of space on aws to try out these

18:14things from time to time as long as there's

18:16enough sort of

18:17interest for it let me know in the comments

18:19so um data freshness policy control the age

18:22of data shown

18:22to workbook viewers by setting a freshness

18:25policy that will not load any cache data

18:27older than a set

18:28policy this is very aws thinking imagine in

18:31aws you have these policies that

18:34essentially dictate

18:35how old certain things can be before they

18:38get moved around in amazon s3 you have

18:40these sort

18:41of policies and rules that migrate content

18:43from one tier to another tier based on how

18:46long they've

18:46been there you've got something called

18:48intelligent tiering which moves these

18:50things around and we're

18:51kind of getting this sort of thinking here

18:53so you can set a policy for specific data

18:56sources and for

18:57those data sources that you know really

18:58really matter you can you can say that look

19:00the data

19:01needs to be this fresh and essentially

19:03tableau will sort of adhere to that policy

19:05before there

19:06was like a global wide sort of setting and

19:08essentially used to be sometimes a guessing

19:10game

19:11whether you were looking at cache data or

19:13not and because there's so many points at

19:14which you can

19:15generate cache and tableau server it

19:17actually just becomes really difficult to

19:19diagnose whether what

19:20you're looking at is cache or whether you

19:22're looking at is live by the time you've

19:23diagnosed

19:24it you know the goalposts have sort of

19:25moved and the data's changed and so it was

19:27a really sort of

19:28annoying thing to sort of diagnose with

19:30customers a lot of time and support desk

19:32just to find out

19:33that it was a caching issue um but now with

19:35these policies i think maybe there's a

19:37little bit more

19:38transparency because there's now somewhere

19:39where someone can set something and they

19:41can have some

19:42sort of expectation about what to what to

19:43get from it so this is going to be nice um

19:47easily choose

19:47from multiple policy options to ensure that

19:49workbooks with live data sources never have

19:51unexpectedly stale data so that's really

19:54cool tableau mobile uh unified notification

19:57of the

19:57mobile and then enjoy and improve

19:59unification experience on tableau mobile

20:01simply navigate to

20:02new notifications in tab in the app shares

20:04comments extracts so this feels like an

20:07update to the

20:08unified experience we got on tableau server

20:11two versions ago but now in mobile so

20:13essentially

20:13mobile's catching up with all the other

20:16sort of platforms um man who still uses

20:18blackberry honestly

20:20like who is still using blackberry if you

20:23're a ceo stuck on a blackberry i'd love to

20:26know why are you

20:27still using blackberry um tableau mobile

20:30for blackberry and airwatch uh android i

20:32think

20:33blackberry actually uses android i think i

20:35think this is actually what's this is what

20:36's going on so

20:37if i just search blackberry i think black

20:40berry basically ditched their operating

20:42system

20:43and started using android our device has

20:46changed uh where we work our security is

20:49changing how we

20:49work okay uh sure um that's uh research and

20:52motion rim used to be the company that uh

20:56sort of owned

20:56blackberry so let's they don't even have

20:59phones here anymore wow um they're just a

21:01security

21:02business what happened to the blackberry

21:04sort of phone brand oh my word this is this

21:06is a bit of a

21:07tangent so blackberry mobile phones let's

21:11see what's going on here uh secure devices

21:16blackberry

21:16i love how they're selling that under the

21:19secure devices banner never mind but it is

21:21powered by

21:21android as i thought so it's technically an

21:24android operating system no longer a black

21:26berry

21:26operating system but man they still have

21:28they still have the phones with the four

21:30keyboards

21:30out there and yeah i bet you someone out

21:32there is loving it and yeah i mean i miss

21:35my blackberry i

21:35used to love that thing but i think things

21:38have moved on since so tablo mobile for

21:40blackberry

21:41and airwatch is a new app that provides a

21:43quick and secure way to view analyze and

21:45leverage the

21:45data in your organization the new app

21:48includes a newer design that is faster and

21:50more intuitive

21:52and improved search and browser experience

21:53consistent with tablo server and tablo

21:55online

21:56and enhanced offline capabilities that are

21:58quick to load and offer richness and

21:59interactivity

22:00visualizations this is interesting i don't

22:03know i didn't i always had the impression

22:05that tablo

22:05mobile for android um was uh one app and so

22:09i thought they were just deploying tablo

22:12mobile

22:13for each of these platforms um using

22:15android but maybe i'm wrong maybe there's

22:18actually something

22:19more about that so let's just search air

22:22watch android and see what's going on here

22:25setting up

22:25android devices in airwatch airwatch is an

22:28mdm um mobile device management system uh i

22:32can i think

22:32i figured that much out um uh but i i don't

22:36know it's an interesting one i don't know i

22:41don't

22:41understand why if it's an android based if

22:44it's an android based uh system why it

22:46needs a separate

22:48um it looks it almost sounds like they've

22:51just introduced it so i'm gonna have to

22:53check that out

22:53i think it might just be support for the um

22:56mdm services in blackberry and in airwatch

22:59i think

23:00that's what's actually going on here um but

23:02nevertheless we need to find that out

23:04accessibility

23:05this shouldn't be last this is but we

23:07should be this should be one of the first

23:08things that

23:09tablo talks about but nevertheless

23:11accessibility for dashboard navigation

23:13provides a more consistent

23:14intuitive tab order improving the keyboard

23:16navigation experience for everyone who uses

23:19their keyboard to navigate dashboards so

23:21sometimes when you hit tab and tablo it

23:24kind of skips through

23:24specific things and if you're using a text

23:27reader because you have maybe visual

23:28impairment and

23:29therefore you have something that's reading

23:32out the interface to you when you hit tab

23:34it used to

23:34sometimes go in a really bizarre order it

23:36didn't sort of make sense on screen as you

23:38literally

23:38watched it happen if you if you could see

23:40the screen and so i think this is nice to

23:42see

23:42additionally the full drag and drop

23:44capabilities provide customers with more

23:46control and flexibility

23:47when building dashboards so this is cool um

23:50i'd love to see exactly what sort of they

23:53mean by

23:53this sometimes these these things are like

23:55multiple features merged into one so it's

23:57always sort of

23:57interesting to see how that goes okay so um

24:00that's pretty cool um this is sort of the

24:03whole rundown

24:04of the features now what we're going to do

24:05is start playing around with some of these

24:07i can't

24:07go through all of them because i don't have

24:09access to absolutely everything that some

24:11of this stuff

24:11needs time to set up and the videos i do

24:13tend to be a little bit more polished than

24:15just me going

24:16through them on screen and bumbling right

24:18through them so next week i'll obviously do

24:20the proper

24:20videos for this so stick around for that

24:22but nonetheless we're going to get stuck

24:24into some

24:24of these um i'll start with generate rows

24:26for tableau prep because i think this is

24:28really really

24:29cool before i show you that i just want to

24:31show you something else the documentation

24:33for this is

24:33also already available let me show you how

24:36to get hold of it okay so i just cut

24:38straight through to

24:39this web page essentially um when tab

24:41online launched um some of the menu items

24:44in tab online

24:45started referring to that release of table

24:47au online because it's 2021.3 so what you

24:50can

24:50sometimes do is guess the url for the

24:52release and if you go to help.tableau.com

24:55and you type in v

24:572021.3 then whatever version of the product

25:00you're looking at in this case i'm looking

25:02at desktop

25:03you'd actually get the up-to-date

25:05documentation for this current release

25:07because of course what

25:08happens over time is the sections that need

25:10updating get updated and the new features

25:13get

25:13updated onto this page so it's essentially

25:16just like a live cms it's constantly

25:17updating so if

25:18i click on what's new here you actually get

25:20another rundown of all the features that

25:23are

25:23actually available in this release i think

25:25all the key features are actually on this

25:27page even

25:27though this is the desktop page there is

25:29typically another page for server but if i

25:31go back to uh

25:33this one here and i go to um i think

25:35sometimes what you have to do is actually

25:38go go to this

25:39one and then if you link through sometimes

25:42it also links through to other aspects of

25:44the product so

25:45if for example we look at the data fresh

25:48ness items so a tableau desktop features new

25:51and

25:51tableau online and server use the same

25:54action dialogue across you see some of

25:56these some of

25:56these are not unique some of these are are

25:59actually altering experiences in desktop

26:02and

26:02online and server but they're not actually

26:05the features i want so let me open up a new

26:07help page

26:08and i'll just show you how how guessing the

26:10urls work so what you do is you go to one

26:12of the versions

26:12of tableau server i tend to go to the linux

26:15one and just hit the html page and then

26:17what you can

26:18do is if you just uh grab v 2021.3 and just

26:21copy that and then you just want to replace

26:24the exact

26:25same uh part of the menu system here so it

26:28says current hit paste and just hit enter

26:31and boom it

26:32loads up the 2021.3 documentation so now

26:35that we're here um has a bit of a planning

26:38guide which is

26:39good and what we can do is we can click on

26:41this option here which says what's new so

26:43you can see

26:44that this is the server updated page for

26:46what's new in 2021.3 it's not as nice as

26:49desktop because

26:50of course there's slightly less features so

26:52you can go through this a lot quickly but

26:55you can sort

26:55of see a summary here on the right hand

26:56side of the key features that you can sort

26:58of touch on so

26:59again we'll sort of maybe just have a quick

27:01look at this a little later on and one

27:03thing i do need

27:03to do is i need to start doing more videos

27:05on server it's the number one bit of

27:07feedback that

27:07i keep getting from people um generally i

27:10think i'm going to start making videos

27:12about more

27:13products that i work with every single day

27:15i don't just work with tableau tableau is

27:17like you know

27:1880 to 70 percent of the sort of surface

27:20that i touch the rest is pretty much

27:22enabled by other

27:23tools tableau prepped altrix um five trans

27:27snowflake um i don't do as much aws as i

27:30should do

27:31but i have a bit of sort of expertise there

27:33and knowledge that i can sort of share here

27:35so

27:35i'll try and do as much of that going

27:37forward as i possibly can i sort of hear

27:39the feedback on that

27:39particular point so it's definitely

27:42something we're going to focus on i'm also

27:44doing um my

27:45server certification again at some point

27:47next year early next year so we're going to

27:49have to go

27:49through that content anyway so we might as

27:51well sort of share that knowledge as we go

27:52through it

27:53nevertheless um let's go through this list

27:56so replace tableau sample workbooks with

27:58some

27:58customer sample workbooks this is more or

28:00less the same list of stuff it's a little

28:02bit more precise

28:03so what i'm actually going to do is i'm

28:04just going to switch over to tableau prep

28:06and let's look at

28:07some new rose functionality that's

28:09available there okay so we're here in

28:12windows i've actually had to

28:13switch over for some some bizarre reason i

28:16'm not going to go into this i need i i'm

28:18just having a

28:18bad time with tableau prep on the mac so i

28:21've just i've just given up trying to make

28:23it work and i'm

28:24just going to use it on windows through a

28:26virtualized environment for now um so here

28:28i am in tableau 2021.3

28:30i've got a copy of it installed on the

28:32machine so i'm opening up a workflow that i

28:35've actually got

28:36set up already that i'm just playing around

28:38with just to sort of see how the new rose

28:40function works

28:41and in essence um this is this is sort of

28:44um it's just sort of really interesting so

28:47let's let's

28:48let's just have a look at this um my data

28:50source here is slightly missing so let's go

28:52ahead and

28:53make sure this is working correctly and

28:55here we go so we've got a data set that we

28:57can look at

28:58now i apologize that this screen isn't as

29:00sharp as it should be um essentially i'm

29:03virtualizing

29:03windows so it's going to be a little bit

29:05more fuzzy than than i'd like it to be but

29:08nonetheless

29:08at least we at least we've got it working

29:10and this is this is sort of a passable

29:12experience um so

29:13over here we've got the customer data

29:15essentially this was mock data that i

29:17generated from mokaru

29:18and i've done something silly here which is

29:20i've unioned them just to sort of try and

29:22enable

29:22something for the next step but essentially

29:24these are the three modes i was talking

29:26about if we just

29:26kind of zoom in here we can get a better

29:29look at this so here we've got dates we've

29:32got sequence

29:33and we've got the fill gap between dates so

29:35if we look at this first one essentially it

29:37's a really

29:38sort of nice implementation i'll do this in

29:40a lot more depth um each of these options i

29:43think has

29:43been really well thought through what i

29:45really like about tableau prep is they

29:47remove complexity

29:49from the feature something that should be

29:51complex is made pleasantly simple and it's

29:54not sort of

29:54over engineered there is more that these

29:56features can do of course there is but it's

29:58just got the

29:59right level of engineering i think to

30:01really make it a you know a great

30:03experience for most people

30:04and that's sort of a really important point

30:06what experience is going to lead to the

30:08most people

30:08getting the most out of this not

30:10necessarily like the swiss army knife

30:11approach that you sometimes

30:13get with altrix where you've just got like

30:15hundreds of capabilities and features and

30:17sort

30:17of nooks and crannies and that's because

30:19you know altrix is a much much more mature

30:21product

30:21tableau prep will eventually have to

30:23support these things um but the sort of

30:25nice thing about prep at

30:26the moment at least is that it's not clut

30:28tered and it's sort of not too busy so it's

30:30really cool um

30:31it's really nice seeing these features so

30:33here we've got dates and you can see that

30:35essentially

30:35what's happened here is that i've selected

30:38a start date and an end date and i had a

30:41small issue here

30:42where it wasn't it wasn't actually

30:44observing um the dates that i was giving it

30:46if i sort of jumped

30:47to a different date so i'll just leave this

30:49as standard i think it might just be a side

30:50effect

30:51of the beta version that i have here but

30:53essentially you can give it a start value

30:55and an

30:55end value and you can also use a min and

30:57max and it will automatically go and find

30:59the max min and

31:00max values from the data set so two really

31:02cool options and of course if you're

31:03working with dates

31:04you get the nice date slider here and you

31:07can of course go around and sort of just

31:08change that

31:09around um you can tell it to update the

31:11existing field or change it to create a new

31:14field so if you

31:15need to keep the existing field for some

31:17reason and you want to create a duplicate

31:19field that's

31:19also available and yeah this is really nice

31:22you can even choose the increments weeks

31:24months days

31:25and you can change the number as well and

31:26it's going to sort of miss every day or go

31:28every other

31:29day whatever you really choose it does a

31:31really nice job of just making that step a

31:33little bit

31:34easier and then of course you have the

31:35ability to choose what it does with the

31:37gaps that it's

31:38creating so nulls null zero or copy from

31:41previous row so if i sort of move this up

31:43you can kind of

31:44see the net effect here where you get lots

31:46of nulls sort of being played out here

31:48because

31:49essentially they've been created from the

31:51record and sort of padding the data out so

31:53if you need

31:54to pad data out in this way this is going

31:55to be such a great quality of life

31:57improvement especially

31:58if you're working in web authoring imagine

32:00being able just to quickly spin this up

32:02through the

32:02browser update a data source with the you

32:05know relevant bits that you need and then

32:07off you go

32:07um the best use case i can think of this

32:09actually is um these this date range so

32:13this particular one

32:13this this is an absolute lifesaver because

32:15when you're working with support desk data

32:17one of the

32:18things you're always trying to do is

32:20visualize at any given point any given day

32:22how many open

32:23tickets do you have and so what this lets

32:25you do is essentially lets you use all the

32:27different dates

32:28from a support ticket and essentially pad

32:30out the days in between them and those days

32:32in between are

32:33essentially the days when the ticket is

32:35open or when it's in a certain status and

32:37if you can pad

32:38out between all these different dates what

32:40you essentially then get is um one

32:42particular ticket

32:43might have 700 rows if it was open for 700

32:46days but you can then filter to one

32:48canonical day and

32:49take a snapshot of what the ticket count

32:51was on that day because you've been able to

32:53pad it out

32:54before this what you had to do is union the

32:57data on itself so you'd have to take a

32:59snapshot of the

32:59data and then say look on this date this is

33:02when this was open on this date this is

33:04when this was

33:05open then you'd have to do a running total

33:07from the beginning of time which would

33:09persist the

33:10number one over the extent of the data and

33:12so to get an accurate number for any given

33:15day you have

33:15to persist sort of this full historical

33:17perspective of the data with this in

33:19combination with the data

33:21model you can even factor in things like

33:23bank holidays and count how many working

33:25days has a

33:26ticket been open for without even having to

33:28do any unions or sql to get everything set

33:30up so

33:31that's actually the use case i'm going to

33:32go through at some point in the future it's

33:34going

33:34to be a really really nice sort of thing to

33:36do um but it's a really sort of uh nice

33:38implementation

33:39i really like it i'm not going to sort of

33:41spoil spoil it too much um the sequence one

33:44also works

33:44in sort of lots of different ways you can

33:46see here that what i did is i removed every

33:48other number

33:48and i'm just filling through the sequence

33:50essentially and again the controls are

33:52really

33:53well thought through there's nothing so

33:55complex about it it's very simple and it

33:57kind of behaves

33:57like a clean step because you can still do

33:59steps uh changes that are related to the

34:02steps so you

34:02can remove fields and add calculated fields

34:05so if in this step you need to do something

34:07that makes

34:07sense in this particular step you can do it

34:10as well so so this is a really cool feature

34:12i love

34:13that everything sort of happens here within

34:15one step and i like that you can even sort

34:17of change

34:17the order of these two things around and

34:19get things working so that's that's the

34:20prep new

34:21rows again i'm not going to sort of murder

34:23this too much we'll do a proper video

34:24explaining how

34:25it works and that will be really sort of uh

34:28good to see so this is nice to see um if i

34:30sort of

34:31minimize this and we go back to the list

34:33and see what else we can uh have a look at

34:35so let's go to

34:36the coming soon page we've looked at prep

34:39generate rows data quality warnings

34:41subscription emails

34:42um let's look at personal spaces because i

34:44think that is something very cool so let me

34:46log into my

34:46tabla online instance here i think i'm

34:48already logged in or should sort of send me

34:50straight in

34:51here we go so let's go straight in and um

34:54what is really cool about this is um

34:56obviously tabla

34:58online has already updated so if i go in

35:00here and i look at about tabla online you

35:02can see that it's

35:03running 21.3 and so some of you might have

35:06noticed on tabla online that you have this

35:09feature here

35:09called personal spaces and you would have

35:11clicked on it and you would have gone in

35:13and just sort of

35:14found a tabla telling you that hey this is

35:16the place where you can create your own

35:17content

35:18and so this is really cool essentially

35:20everyone's been given the ability to create

35:22content in this

35:23space and it's only visible to you so you

35:25're the only one who has access to this

35:27admins can see

35:27how much space you're taking up they can

35:29see what workbook is in there but i don't

35:31believe they can

35:32look inside of the workbooks i think there

35:34's some sort of clever design there um it's

35:36a little bit

35:37odd because um admins have always had got

35:39access to a lot of content on on um on tab

35:42la servers so

35:43it's always been sort of like a an

35:45interesting one um and i think what they've

35:47been doing is they've

35:47been adding um capabilities so i think in

35:50the future it will be possible as an as an

35:52admin to

35:53be an admin but not get sort of intricate

35:55access to data sources that maybe are

35:56sensitive for

35:57example that contain your pay or something

36:00like that so um in essence this is really

36:03cool so let

36:03me show you how it works i've got the super

36:05store workbook here if i go to the super

36:07store workbook

36:08you'll see that it loads up the superstore

36:10as expected but if i go to the three dots i

36:12've also

36:12got the option to move content from

36:15anywhere on the server to my personal space

36:18so this is really

36:19really nice to see you can see that you can

36:21move the content across and so now when i

36:23select that

36:24and we just click on it and say move

36:26content and then move content again then uh

36:29essentially it

36:30moves this out of the public space into the

36:32private space now you can see that it's in

36:34my personal

36:35space and so now if i go into it you'll see

36:37that i have that workbook you can also

36:39start content

36:40here so at the moment you can only create

36:42workbooks i'd love to see this also for

36:44prep

36:44flows and some other content that's sort of

36:47uh available on tableau online i'm an admin

36:49here so

36:50i should be able to create any content that

36:52i want to create so i'm sure it's coming i

36:53'm sure they're

36:54going to make this a much much nice

36:56experience i also think tableau is

36:58definitely very soon going

36:59to break away from this grid layout this

37:01grid layout is great for content but it's

37:03not great

37:04for some of these more interesting areas

37:06specifically this uh group of icons here so

37:09personal space is

37:10collections and explore currently all use

37:12the grid system but nonetheless they don't

37:14that they don't

37:15really this is not the best um setup for

37:17them so there's a much much better layout

37:19that i think you

37:20can achieve so be interesting to see how

37:22that evolves over time so this is really

37:24cool again

37:25we'll dive into this and some of the

37:26details and specifics once we've kind of

37:28gone through

37:28the documentation and we know more about

37:30what's going on let's go back to this list

37:32what else can

37:33we have a look at explain data improvements

37:36um that needs just sort of a demo example

37:39so that's

37:40sort of an obvious one it sort of self

37:41describes itself um there's a few other web

37:44watering

37:44improvements so they're talking a bit about

37:46the formatting pane so let's go have and

37:48see let's

37:48go see if we can sort of uh explore this a

37:50little bit so what i'll do is i'll go into

37:52that superstore

37:53workbook and uh let's have a look at what

37:56this actually means let's let's give

37:58ourselves as much

37:59space on the screen as we possibly can and

38:02here we are we've got a uh sort of an

38:04editing interface now

38:06one thing i've noticed this is definitely

38:08crisper it loaded a lot quicker it was a

38:11lot sharper and

38:12it again we're getting more and more of

38:14these sort of elements over here on the

38:16left hand side now

38:17one of the features it was talking about is

38:19the ability to move things around inside of

38:21this

38:22layer yeah look at that so you can actually

38:24drag and drop these things now inside so

38:26you can move

38:26things in and out of the hierarchy so this

38:29is new in in uh 2021.3 um if you've got a

38:33bunch of things

38:34inside of a hierarchy let's say we uh can

38:36we move this out we can't it's sort of

38:39frustrating here we

38:40go there it is there it is so if we go into

38:42this tree uh and we go into this vertical

38:45item maybe

38:46here yeah we go so what we can do is for

38:48example we can move these around and it

38:50swaps the uh two

38:51charts around so this is cells by segment

38:53and cells by product on the bottom and we

38:55can just

38:56swap those two around by switching them

38:58here on the left hand side so that's cool

38:59to see in

39:00web altering now um one time sometimes what

39:02we want to do i always right click the axis

39:05and i just

39:06this is the one thing i'm always like come

39:08on man i need to be able to do this in web

39:10edit so that i

39:10don't have to download the workbook if i

39:12edit the axis there's no option to sort of

39:14format it which

39:15is annoying so let's try a couple of other

39:17things because sometimes right click is

39:19sort of hogged

39:20uh by the uh you know browser so you can't

39:23do as much as you want so what i'll do is i

39:25click on

39:26that and then i'll go to formatting and

39:28then i'll go to uh workbook formatting and

39:30just see okay

39:31what is going on here we do get it over

39:33here on the right hand side so this is this

39:35is a little

39:36bit better but what i'm really looking for

39:38is the formatting options for this sheet so

39:40let's go into

39:41the sheet because i still can't find what i

39:43'm looking for and let's see if i can do

39:44anything

39:45here so if i uh format yeah here we go

39:47format worksheet and okay okay this is what

39:50we're talking

39:51about we're starting to get this is

39:54starting to sort of uh catch up to what we

39:56expect so

39:57the interesting thing is this is only

39:59specific to this worksheet so tableau book

40:02background fill

40:03interactive controls legends filters highl

40:06ighters and parameters so now you can format

40:09those nicely

40:10and what's clearly happening is look they

40:13're building out this user interface i don't

40:15know

40:15if you've noticed but this right-hand side

40:17panel on tableau is becoming used more and

40:19more and more

40:20so you know we've kind of run out of space

40:22here on the left hand side it's mostly used

40:24for

40:24analytical capabilities like the data pane

40:26the analytics pane and so what they've

40:28started to do

40:29is put stuff on the right hand side like

40:31metrics explain data all of these things

40:33are going on the

40:34right because they're more contextual to

40:36what you're seeing the left is sort of the

40:38analytical

40:38side and the right is sort of this more

40:40contextual side so again that's really cool

40:43to see um it's

40:43nice it's nice that's there in essence um

40:46what else can we do i just kind of want to

40:48see like

40:49what else what else can we format so we can

40:52we can format animations filters and sets

40:55uh i think that

40:56just opens up this this pane so the classic

40:59thing is look how do i just get the units

41:02this is the

41:02number one thing if i can if i can format

41:05the units on this axis without having to do

41:07too much work

41:08then again that would be a massive win even

41:11if it was something down here i don't mind

41:14if it was

41:15sort of buried inside of this this axis

41:17control here where there was like a

41:18formatting section

41:20or formatting tab where i could format it

41:22all there that would be fine but i just can

41:24't do it

41:25format worksheet goes to this entire uh

41:28sort of uh error in the right hand side so

41:30for me that

41:31that one thing is still outstanding i'd

41:34need to be able to to format this axis and

41:37change it it's

41:37something you do so often you go into a

41:39table you change the formatting for a

41:41number or something

41:42else um i guess the way you should do it

41:44really speak really strictly speaking is to

41:46right click

41:47cells go to uh date uh format so that's all

41:52fine but uh number format here we go so

41:57again i don't

41:57have that here so folders geographic role

42:01change data type and i don't have i can't

42:04format that so

42:06man it's frustrating like it's just just

42:09the one thing i don't know why this is such

42:12a big deal i

42:13don't know why this is so hard to do there

42:15must be a good reason why it's hard to do

42:16um but i i can't

42:18figure it figure it out maybe i'm missing

42:19something maybe if you know what needs

42:21happening

42:22here let me know what you can definitely do

42:24is clear the formatting from the entire

42:26sheet which

42:28to me is sort of just like why why why

42:30would that be what i want to do if that

42:32makes sense if i go

42:33to formatting here why would i clear works

42:35heet formatting from this entire sheet and

42:37go back to

42:38square one if i can't undo it and the

42:40interesting thing is let's let this load

42:43and let's see what

42:44what it does let's see exactly sort of what

42:46it does it's always thinking about it and

42:48it stops

42:49so now you see that formatting has been

42:51removed and then now if we go back and undo

42:53that's

42:54technically reapplied it so like that

42:56process of going forward and back has reapp

42:59lied all that

42:59formatting so it must be possible like

43:02something must be possible to do with the

43:04formatting

43:05color is fine detail labels these are all

43:08okay they sort of have their equivalents

43:12and you can

43:12go in here and you know set all these up

43:14exactly as you'd expect so we're getting

43:16there really

43:17quickly it's just lacking those like little

43:20nooks and crannies that would make this the

43:22perfect

43:23feature um drag to reorder single legend

43:25yeah new browser formula authorizing

43:28capabilities so this

43:29is interesting i don't think i noticed this

43:32so uh editing this um i don't know what

43:35this actually

43:36means um i don't know what what i'm missing

43:38here i can edit the filter uh open this

43:42this is all new

43:43so i think what i need to do is just this

43:45is one of the things where you just need to

43:47play around

43:47with the feature and really dig in to

43:50exactly what's new if i go to the

43:52documentation um advance

43:55filtering across tableau desktop online and

43:58server so let's see this um from whenever

44:01you use tableau

44:02you can now use advanced filtering that was

44:04previously available only in desktop use

44:06wildcard

44:07filtering to filter for strings that match

44:09your file or author formulas that work with

44:11conditions

44:12or top-end filters for more information

44:14okay so this is just more like getting

44:16parity from desktop

44:18over to web edit so essentially uh when you

44:22're sort of uh working with filters that's

44:25an action

44:26so it doesn't really uh sort of help

44:27whenever you're working with this sort of

44:29general set of

44:30filters you can see that they've got a

44:32slightly different setup for these groups

44:34and i think this

44:35is actually what's going to happen in the

44:36main product eventually this this would

44:38just be what

44:38we see in tableau desktop and we will

44:40basically get this browser interface and it

44:43actually does

44:44feel nice and fast which is which is sort

44:45of good um but yeah i think this is what we

44:47'll start to get

44:48because um now you've got these sort of

44:51much much more interesting uh filter

44:53capabilities in in here

44:55and of course once they're in a worksheet

44:57you can uh sort of right click and bring

44:58out the filters

44:59and yeah bring them out over here so if you

45:01show filter then you can create them and

45:03sort of show

45:04them here on the right hand side when you

45:05're done with the other stuff you can sort

45:07of get rid of it

45:08and so that's really cool um but hey listen

45:10i've been talking for a long time so what i

45:13'm going to

45:13do is i'm probably going to call it a day

45:15there and just stop there and uh i've been

45:17have so many

45:18tabs open uh man this is crazy so look

45:20there's a lot to unpack here a lot of

45:22exciting things

45:24it's not a big releases before man if this

45:25was a bigger release i wouldn't have been

45:27doing a video

45:28this long i would have been here for ages

45:30so um lots lots of stuff to get stuck into

45:32next week

45:33and the week after that i'm assuming table

45:35au is probably going to drop the release

45:37next week at

45:38some point purely because there's always

45:40sort of like an order of events essentially

45:42what happens

45:43is you get um uh tableau online upgrades

45:46roughly three to four weeks before the

45:48actual thing drops

45:49without fail it's like clockwork so when

45:51table online upgraded three weeks ago i was

45:54like right

45:55tableau is probably going to update this in

45:57the next month or so and then this page

45:59turned up

45:59today so that means essentially this is

46:01sort of live so people can have a look at

46:03it so my hunch

46:04is next week or the week after that we're

46:06definitely going to get um tableau uh sort

46:08of

46:08dropping this so i'm going to start making

46:10content for the stuff i already have access

46:12to through

46:13table online we're going to set up as much

46:15as we can so we can we really need to get

46:17100 coverage

46:18on some of these features because the last

46:19few releases it's been really tough just to

46:21do with

46:21personal commitments and everything to get

46:23like proper coverage of all the features so

46:25i've only

46:26focused on the key features so we need to

46:28try and get back into that um sort of mode

46:30and get

46:30everything covered so we're going to make a

46:33good push even the stuff that is not easy

46:35to make

46:35content on we will make a video about why

46:37it's significant and maybe roll it up into

46:39one sort

46:39of roundup as well that makes a lot of

46:41sense okay so thanks for watching and

46:43thanks for you know

46:44spending a lot of time watching this if you

46:46made it to the end you're an original

46:48tabletim supporter

46:49i love it and be sure to head to tabletim.

46:51com once this is all live um there are lots

46:54of playlists

46:55uh sort of being updated i stopped doing

46:57this thing where i do a bunch of videos and

46:59drop all

46:59the playlists at once two reasons youtube

47:01doesn't like that youtube basically says no

47:03no no no no

47:04we like content drip faded every drip fed

47:07every day so i stopped doing that and what

47:11i do now

47:12is i actually put the videos up on youtube

47:14all at the same time and then over here you

47:17'll actually

47:17be able to see them ahead of time so if you

47:19come here to 21.3 when it's live you'll

47:22actually find

47:23that all the videos might already be live

47:25on this web page and then what happens is

47:27on youtube i

47:28stagger the release essentially because

47:31youtube lets me have the video there as un

47:34listed but it

47:34doesn't like when you make them public all

47:36at once so sometimes you'll see a video go

47:39live and it's
