Drag and drop headers: New in Tableau 2021.1

0:00Hey, it's Tim here. This is a really quick

0:01video to show you a new feature available

0:04in the browser

0:04for Tableau Online and Tableau Server and

0:07that is the ability to drag and drop

0:08headers. I know it

0:09seems small but if you spend a lot of time

0:11in the browser using WebEdit or using the

0:14creative

0:14features there then you're going to

0:16appreciate this. So let's go ahead into a

0:18dashboard. I'll

0:18click on the Superstore dashboard and I'll

0:20go to this product view because I know this

0:22has a table

0:22that I'm going to be able to use. Once it's

0:24loaded up, if you don't have the correct

0:26permissions you

0:27won't see the option to edit here on the

0:29top right hand side. So I'm looking at this

0:32edit option

0:32right here. So if you can't see that, that

0:34means you don't have permissions to edit

0:36and so ask for

0:37permissions to be able to edit or get the

0:39right license type in order to do that. If

0:41you click

0:42on edit though, it opens up this view as

0:44pretty much an editable view, very similar

0:47to Tableau

0:47desktop and you can now see that I have

0:49access to this particular sheet where I

0:51have these tables.

0:52So let's go in here so we just have the

0:54sheet in the visualization and so the new

0:56feature in 2021.1

0:58is essentially you can do this. Let's say

1:00you wanted to sort these in a slightly

1:01different

1:02order. You can just click and drag the

1:04months and you see you get that separator

1:06that we're used to

1:06getting in desktop. So I can sort of put

1:08July back in the wrong place and I can drag

1:11this and put this

1:12over here as well and it works with pretty

1:13much any header. You can see here I'm doing

1:15it on the dates

1:16at the top but I can also do it here for

1:18these categories here on the left. So if I

1:20drag furniture

1:21down you can see I get that separator again

1:23and if I drag it to the bottom that means

1:25this item will

1:25go to the bottom and if I drag it in

1:27between office supplies and technology that

1:29's where it's going to

1:30end up and you can see there that that

1:31change is done and it's changed very very

1:33quickly.

1:34So yeah that's it there's not much new to

1:36that. It's a pretty small quality of life

1:38improvement

1:38but each of these are things that you'd

1:41expect when you come from Tableau desktop

1:43to the browser

1:44and so whilst it might not seem like a big

1:46deal each and every one of these increments

1:48means we're

1:48getting closer and closer to a world where

1:50you no longer need the desktop version and

1:52everything is

1:53working just as you'd expect in the browser

1:55. Thanks for watching if you found this
