What's coming soon in Tableau 2023.1 | New in Tableau 2023.1

0:00Hey it's Tim here, it's been a long while

0:02since my last video but today we're back to

0:04look at 23.1 as ever let's get stuck in.

0:07So I have to apologise for the what feels

0:10like an extended break, I've actually just

0:12been really unwell, in essence I've just

0:14literally constantly been back to back,

0:17I've had flu after cold after everything

0:20for literally the last month and I got to

0:22the point where I couldn't even edit a

0:24video so I just basically decided to just

0:27take a break, recover and the funny thing

0:29is

0:30I'm actually not going to be able to make

0:31another video for two weeks for a reason I

0:33'll explain towards the end of the video but

0:35nonetheless I just really wanted to cover

0:38what's coming soon in 23.1

0:40And also while I'm here I'd just like to

0:42thank everyone who has re-nominated me to

0:44be a Tablo visionary this year, it's an

0:47absolutely amazing privilege, I really

0:49appreciate the support,

0:50not just through the comments that I get on

0:53the channel but also nominations like this

0:55really energise me to keep making content

0:58and to keep finding new ways of doing it,

1:00so that there's always something fresh

1:02available here on my channel.

1:04But anyway, let's get stuck into 23.1. So

1:07the coming soon page came out a couple of

1:09weeks ago now, by the time this video comes

1:12out it will have been just under two weeks

1:14and it's a pretty interesting release

1:16because I think

1:17the first release of the year is always the

1:20quiet release and so I didn't have high

1:23expectations and when I say that I don't

1:26mean that in a sceptical way, the releases

1:29always have peaks and troughs and there are

1:31some releases which have huge features in

1:33them

1:33that massively change our workflow, zone

1:36visibility is a good one, the data modal is

1:38another one, but then there are some

1:40releases where it's very obvious that Tablo

1:42is putting in the groundwork for something

1:44to come in the future.

1:45So to me the .1 and the .3 releases are

1:49always that release and also if you've

1:51forgotten, Tablo's server only gets updates

1:55twice a year, so this is that update, 23.1

1:58and 23.3 will be the server update.

2:01So there's also a bunch of features in this

2:03release that are essentially features from

2:0624.4, 24? 22.4 which didn't come to server

2:12because there's no release in that

2:14particular sort of slot.

2:15So let's have a look at this. So first off

2:18we have accelerator data mapping.

2:21Essentially what's going to be happening

2:23here is that when you connect to Tablo

2:24accelerator on the Tablo exchange, there

2:26will be a little interface that allows you

2:28to map the fields in your dataset

2:30to fields that are already in the

2:31accelerator. So you can basically say, look

2:34this is sales, these are my dates, these

2:36are my fields, go ahead and basically swap

2:39them out.

2:40And so it's actually quite a nice feature.

2:42I've tried this a little bit, we can only

2:44really try it in the preview with specific

2:46dashboards, so I'd love to see this sort of

2:48come out to the real world and people try

2:49it with dashboards that are a little bit

2:51sort of off the beaten track.

2:52But again, really super exciting feature,

2:54so really interested to see how that works.

2:57A couple of enhancements for Slack. So

2:58collaborate on insights more effectively

3:00with Tablo for Slack app.

3:02The latest enhancements make it even easier

3:04to put data at the center of every

3:06organization or conversation and decision.

3:09Now you can share Tablo content with

3:11contacts, links now come with previews so

3:14your team can quickly recognize and act on

3:16relevant information.

3:18Easily search for and share Tablo content

3:20in direct messages and channels, that's

3:22actually quite cool.

3:23Get to insights faster by conveniently

3:26assessing recent and favorites from the app

3:28homepage.

3:29So what this feels like is Salesforce

3:31making a play to put Tablo deeper into

3:34where people work.

3:35It's no doubt companies that use Slack

3:38spend a lot of time with Slack open and so

3:41if you can bring the analytical

3:43capabilities to that platform, which Sales

3:45force of course owns in Slack,

3:47then it's actually quite a powerful play.

3:50And the other thing to bear in mind here is

3:51that Salesforce is very evidently using Tab

3:55lo as the front door to the analytics

3:56platform that is sort of secretly built on

3:58the stick and the Salesforce platform.

4:00So this could also be another really good

4:02way for Salesforce to start to use the Tab

4:05lo brand to bring out more data to people

4:07and start interacting with it.

4:09So that's a pretty cool, nice touch. Let's

4:12go ahead to the next one, dynamic access

4:14titles.

4:15I think this is quite a simple one. I'm

4:16sure this has been asked for forever, but

4:18this is it.

4:19Users can alter the title of their access

4:21based on the value of a parameter or a

4:23single value field with the dynamic access

4:25titles. Simple as that.

4:27I would almost sort of put that in the

4:29quality of life improvements bucket.

4:31People have been asking for this for a

4:33while.

4:34Identity pools for Tablo server.

4:36Okay, so identity pools will enable you to

4:39branch out of the strict single identity

4:41store limitation in Tablo server.

4:43And identity pool is the combination of a

4:45source of users traditionally called the

4:47identity store and authentication mechanism

4:49.

4:49So the way you've got to think of this is

4:51that Tablo server, you don't have this for

4:53Tablo cloud because Tablo look after it.

4:54But with Tablo server, an identity pool

4:57simply tells you who people are and how

4:58they're going to authenticate.

5:00And essentially what this is enabling you

5:03to do is to break that out from strictly

5:05being something that Tablo server manages.

5:08And I think they're going to be bringing

5:10different capabilities to different types

5:13of authentication.

5:14So you can see here that you'll be able to

5:16add additional pools where you can have

5:19your source of users belong to local

5:21identity store and have them authenticate

5:23with OpenID Connect for modern

5:25authentication.

5:26This added flexibility will particularly be

5:28helpful for organizations that have a set

5:30of external users that need access to Tablo

5:32that they are not able to invite to their

5:34corporate active directory.

5:35So that's actually that is the sort of

5:37killer explanation that you might have

5:39people, let's say a contractor just needs

5:41to come in.

5:42They can log in with a username and

5:43password. But for everyone else who's part

5:45of the organization, they can use a nice,

5:47secure active directory method to log in.

5:49So that's pretty cool. And they've got a

5:51little screenshot to show you what that

5:53looks like.

5:53You can essentially give people alternative

5:56sign ins for everyday people.

5:58This is very similar to when you go to a

5:59Web page and you can log in with Facebook,

6:01Google or Apple.

6:02It's basically the same thing. Choose your

6:05identity pool and that service will then

6:06authenticate you, say you are you and then

6:09hand you off back to the application to do

6:11the rest of it.

6:12So that's a sort of a nice touch actually.

6:15User attribute functions UAFs.

6:18So user attribute functions are brand new

6:21user functions.

6:22So user functions are functions formulas,

6:25functions that run in the formula window

6:27that allow you to call specific things from

6:29Tablo server.

6:30For example, a username, the group, whether

6:33they're a member of a group or not, their

6:35email, their name, all that kind of stuff.

6:37You can call that dynamically through a

6:39calculation into a Tablo calculation.

6:42What this is, is essentially adding to that

6:44.

6:44So user attribute functions are going to

6:46allow you to add more bits of information.

6:49So the two new user functions are user

6:51attribute and user attribute matches.

6:54These two attributes is kind of the same.

6:56User attribute will allow you to check a

6:58specific attribute and user attribute

7:00matches will allow you to check if the

7:02attribute matches something you expect

7:04essentially.

7:05And so this is quite nice.

7:07This is useful for embedded applications

7:10because what you can then do is you can

7:12pass attributes to your embedded

7:14application and the function can simply

7:16look for that.

7:17And I think the example that they've got

7:20here is actually a good example of an

7:22embedded setup, which is sort of in a debug

7:24mode.

7:24So the visualization is loading something,

7:26but the visit is obviously clearly being

7:28fed some attributes from this sort of

7:32embedded application, which you can see

7:34here, the HTML on the left.

7:36I think that's what they're showing here.

7:37But nonetheless, it's kind of a really,

7:39really good feature.

7:40And I think it's going to be great for

7:42people.

7:43Non-Safari browser support for mobile

7:45authentication.

7:46I don't understand what this one means.

7:48Admins can now specify a browser such as

7:50Edge for authentication to handle

7:52conditional access checks with the proper

7:54configuration for Tableau Mobile and your

7:56Microsoft Intune environments.

7:58Admin can override the default browser used

8:01for authentication.

8:03That's that feels like I guess from the

8:06really, really specifically talking about

8:09iOS in this particular case, because iOS

8:11default browser is always Safari.

8:14But you can download the Edge browser on an

8:17iOS device and maybe Microsoft Edge have

8:20enabled specific features in Edge that work

8:24better with organizations.

8:26That's the only sort of thing I can think

8:28of for that one.

8:29So again, I'll have to I have to dig into

8:30that and see what's there.

8:32Additional security policies for Tableau

8:34Mobile.

8:34So a bit of a Tableau Mobile update here.

8:36Admins can now enable additional security

8:39policies in their site or server settings

8:41to make Tableau Mobile even more secure,

8:43including screen share and screenshot

8:46prevention on Android only.

8:48Gel break detection and malware detection.

8:50So the reason this is important is if you

8:54carry a device that is gel broken or, you

8:57know, people can take screenshots of easily

9:00.

9:00What this is essentially allowing admins to

9:02do is to say, hey, if you see that a device

9:05is gel broken, don't let the user use this

9:07to access data in our organization, because

9:10those gel broken devices simply could have

9:12loopholes, security loopholes that have

9:15been baked in.

9:15And then from a screen share and screenshot

9:17perspective, this is actually important for

9:20compliance and to be able to block those

9:22things.

9:22So, you know, that someone is going to get

9:23something on their iPad, take a screenshot

9:25and email it somewhere where they shouldn't

9:27be able to.

9:27But again, this is Android only.

9:29Be interested to see if that's already.

9:31I don't think it's already not possible on

9:33iOS because I think Apple kind of behave

9:35weirdly on those kinds of things.

9:37So I know on iOS you can have the

9:39application notice when a screenshot is

9:41taken.

9:42So you could definitely report screenshots

9:44into Tableau Mobile app and essentially

9:46store that information somewhere.

9:48But I don't think it's possible to prevent

9:50a user from taking a screenshot.

9:51It's almost seen as an accessibility

9:53feature in iOS.

9:54So that would be an interesting one to see.

9:56But on Android, it's definitely possible.

9:58That's kind of that's really nice to see.

10:00Tableau catalog, a mixed content search.

10:02Oh, this is nice.

10:03So the search features in Tableau have been

10:06sort of getting updated for a long time.

10:08This feels like an extension of that.

10:09So they're taking search now to other parts

10:11of the product.

10:12In this case, the Tableau catalog to use a

10:15Tableau catalog.

10:16You need to have data management add on, I

10:19believe so.

10:20I mean, I think I'm fairly correct in

10:23saying you do need to have it to be able to

10:25search the catalog because the catalog only

10:27appears.

10:28If you have it.

10:29So the search capabilities here are going

10:30to be nice.

10:31But it looks like the data discovery and

10:33trust have been core principles of Tableau

10:36catalog since its introduction to improve

10:37the discovery experience.

10:38The connect to dialog now shows mixed

10:40content types, enabling users to find

10:42relevant data faster.

10:44What I don't get about this is that this

10:46this window we're seeing here in the

10:48preview is not exclusive to data management

10:51users.

10:52So it might actually just be that they're

10:55using the terminology differently and

10:57actually the behavior might be different.

11:00It's one to check.

11:01But this interface is what you get when you

11:03load up WebEdit or when you go and do

11:05something from the web browser interface to

11:07build a new visualization.

11:09It's also one you can get if in desktop you

11:11want to connect to a data source on server

11:13so that it also comes up.

11:15And I think this interface is essentially

11:16improving the search features in there

11:18rather than the little tiny search you had

11:20on top right, you have something a little

11:21bit better here.

11:22So that's really nice to see.

11:24Data quality warnings in web altering data

11:27quality warnings will now display for

11:29connected data sources in web altering.

11:31It didn't do that before.

11:33So that's a that's a bit of a feature

11:35parity thing between web altering and

11:37normal Tableau.

11:39Tableau prep external connector gallery

11:41integration.

11:42So you can now have the external connectors

11:45show up inside of Tableau prep.

11:47And this is an interesting one because the

11:49Tableau exchange is growing.

11:50Connectors are an important category in the

11:52Tableau exchange.

11:53And so it's good to see that these

11:55connectors are now coming to prep.

11:57And I think it will maybe surface

11:59connectors to people a bit more.

12:01The thing to remember is that these

12:02connectors aren't installed by default.

12:04When you click on them, what actually

12:06happens is you go through a process of

12:07adding them.

12:08So don't look at this list and think that

12:10you have them.

12:11They might require some additional steps

12:13for you to make sure that they work

12:14properly, including configuring your laptop

12:16, ODBC connectors and all that stuff.

12:18So just just be aware that, you know, those

12:20things are supported, but then they're not

12:23exactly out of the box.

12:25Tableau prep input step improvements.

12:28Oh, this is interesting.

12:29So within Tableau prep's input step, you

12:31can now bulk select multiple columns.

12:34Hallelujah.

12:35Oh, my word.

12:40That caught me so off guard.

12:41I didn't even see that coming.

12:43Ah, that's amazing.

12:44Within Tableau prep's input step, you can

12:46now bulk select multiple columns.

12:49This removes the need to individually

12:51select columns to hide or remove them.

12:53The only thing that frustrates me about

12:55this feature is that it hasn't been

12:56available until now because my word, have I

12:59wasted time doing this.

13:03It's literally about time.

13:04We shouldn't be celebrating this, but this

13:06is absolutely this is probably the best

13:08feature in this release.

13:09You can now also use a relative date filter

13:11for date time data types to remove stale

13:14data.

13:14That's a nice touch.

13:15These improvements combine to improve

13:17interactive performance when authoring

13:19flows and help unify the experience across

13:22Tableau prep steps.

13:23The reason this is important is because

13:25people didn't do this and therefore made

13:28their flows slower because they weren't

13:30exactly selecting these fields and they

13:32weren't sort of deselecting these fields in

13:34the first place.

13:35So this is going to force people, it's

13:36actually going to make it easier for people

13:38to say, hey, actually, I only need this

13:40subset of data.

13:41And then the flow performance will improve.

13:42People won't be bringing in the whole day

13:44set.

13:45The sampling will also work a little bit

13:46better because you're working with a much

13:48narrower confined set.

13:49And it might might be that all of the data

13:51fits within the sample window.

13:53So that's a really, really good, good

13:56welcome touch.

13:57Virtual connections, additional connector

13:59support.

13:59We have Databricks and Amazon EMR Hadoop

14:06Hive.

14:07I don't know if that's one tool or multiple

14:09tools.

14:09Amazon EMR Hadoop Hive.

14:11That sounds like one of these, you know,

14:13tech names that you get at the moment, you

14:15know, which is a combination of different

14:17things put together.

14:18I think this is Amazon EMR Hadoop and Hive.

14:22If I look at this list, it doesn't actually

14:28show us those. Oh, no, it is actually

14:30Amazon EMR Hadoop Hive.

14:30The reason I know that I haven't got my

14:32annotator on is that it's a first item in

14:34this list.

14:35I thought Hadoop and Hive to me, I thought

14:39were separate things.

14:41So, yeah, there you go. Did not know that

14:43even existed.

14:44So to find out what that is.

14:47Hybrid mode for virtual connections.

14:49Interesting. You no longer need to pick

14:51between live or extract.

14:52You can choose between live or extract.

15:20But then some tables which are changing

15:23maybe by the minute or changing by the hour

15:25.

15:25And those do need to be live.

15:27You can kind of give that balance a little

15:30bit more selection.

15:31So that's cool.

15:32Content migration tool.

15:34Embedded credential support.

15:36When using content migration tool to

15:38migrate content from Tableau server to

15:40Tableau cloud,

15:40an admin can now securely migrate embedded

15:42credentials for data sources.

15:43That's actually a big deal.

15:45What that means is that you don't have to

15:47go through each and every workbook

15:49adding the credentials back in and then

15:52publishing them back up.

15:52So that's a...

15:54Again, for everyone who's doing the Tableau

15:56server to cloud migration,

15:58my word, this would have been handy.

16:00It's there now.

16:01Resource monitoring tool improvements.

16:03Resource monitoring tool improvements

16:05include admins can now require users to log

16:08in

16:08to the resource monitoring tool using their

16:10network credentials

16:11rather than a separate username and

16:13password specific to the resource

16:14monitoring tool.

16:15This setting can be configured on a user by

16:18user basis.

16:18You can customize a run as user for the RMT

16:21server and agent.

16:22The resource monitoring tool now supports

16:26Ubuntu 20.04.

16:27The resource monitoring tool now supports

16:29encrypted connections in its post rescue.

16:34Is that supposed to say post Gress?

16:36Yeah, that's the typo.

16:37Post Gress SQL database server.

16:39Enabling the...

16:41Ensuring that all data it processes is

16:44encrypted in transit.

16:46Cool.

16:47New Giggle BigQuery connector.

16:49Cross database joins for Snowflake.

16:51That's super interesting.

16:53I like that.

16:55Additional flexibility as you build data

16:57sources and data models.

16:58That is actually quite useful.

16:59Cross database joins are a bit underused.

17:02I think as the data model kind of stole

17:04their thunder a little bit,

17:05but they can be handy in certain situations

17:08, especially when you've got data sets

17:10that aren't as easy to sort of bring

17:12together.

17:12It's a really, really sort of nice touch

17:15there,

17:15but it's only specific to Snowflake.

17:17Source row number in Tableau Prep.

17:19So, oh, nice.

17:20You can basically add a row number right at

17:23the beginning when you bring a data set in,

17:24and it preserves that as source row number,

17:26so you know the order in which the source

17:28stored the data.

17:29That's kind of cool.

17:36So in this case, I think it's only these

17:39two files, Excel and text files.

17:41I don't know why you wouldn't have that for

17:43a database.

17:43I mean, it feels handy enough to have on a

17:46database,

17:46but maybe databases have that innately

17:49built in,

17:49and so perhaps not offering it.

17:52But yeah, if you know why this feature is

17:55only for Excel and text,

17:57I wonder if databases have something that I

18:01'm just not aware of.

18:02I know databases can get indexed,

18:03but I'm not sure that necessarily means

18:06that --

18:07I think that doesn't necessarily mean that

18:10they're specifying the source order

18:11in any sort of way that's readable by Table

18:14au,

18:14so it'd be interesting to see why that is.

18:16Maybe they're just starting with Excel and

18:18CSV.

18:18Cross database join improvements.

18:20So this is sort of linked to Snowflake a

18:22little bit.

18:22Tableau will use our new optimization

18:25techniques to speed up cross database joins

18:27.

18:27Previously, both sides of cross database

18:29join were ingested into the hyper,

18:31which performs a join.

18:33If the tables being joined were large,

18:35network I/O can significantly impact the

18:38performance of the query.

18:39Our new optimizer avoids unnecessarily

18:41moving large datasets

18:42by executing cross database joins locally

18:45in the database,

18:46containing the larger of the two datasets

18:48being joined

18:49when we estimate that it will be faster to

18:52do so.

18:52So this, I think, speaks to -- oh,

18:56interesting.

18:56This is interesting.

18:57So this is -- basically, the cross database

18:59join is looking to see

19:00if it's faster to do this in the database

19:02rather than locally.

19:05Interesting.

19:06So I'd love to see that actually play out

19:09in real life.

19:10Admin Insights improvements.

19:12What have we got here?

19:15So we updated the job performance data

19:17source to include un-scheduled jobs,

19:18error messages, and subscription of jobs.

19:20We also updated the site context to data

19:23sources to include a total size field

19:25so your site storage usage will reflect

19:27drafts and revisions.

19:28This is nice.

19:29So Admin Insights is for Tableau Cloud.

19:31It's a specific data source because you can

19:33't get access to the Postgres dataset.

19:35This is why they have to keep adding sort

19:37of value to it

19:37because it's nowhere near as good as the

19:40Postgres database

19:40that you get with Tableau.

19:41Permissions, Admin Insights, data source.

19:44So -- oh, this is interesting.

19:45So Admin Insights, again, this is a data

19:48source

19:48that I think allows you to show permissions

19:50.

19:50So that's pretty cool.

19:51That's it.

19:52Nice.

19:53It's as simple as that.

19:54Looking at the graphic here because that's

19:56what I'm sort of excited by here.

19:57That's a really nice touch.

20:00And, yeah, I think it's -- this is a really

20:03nice touch again.

20:04I'm always curious, sort of what's the end

20:07goal of this?

20:07Does it have parity with Postgres or is

20:10this to actually offer --

20:11sometimes you find that because Tableau

20:13wanted to use Tableau Cloud,

20:14they might actually put a little bit more

20:16effort

20:16into making these datasets a little bit

20:18more accessible for everyday people

20:19so they answer questions you actually want

20:22to answer rather than Postgres

20:22where you have to go find all the tables,

20:24do all your SQL and sort of data prep

20:26to then prepare the data in a way to answer

20:29the questions.

20:30Column level data quality warning

20:32improvements.

20:33Cool.

20:34You can now view column level data quality

20:37warnings DQWs

20:37where you make decisions about data.

20:39For users using visualization to make

20:41decisions,

20:41we've brought column DQWs to the data

20:43details pane.

20:44Fine.

20:46Creators and data stewards that use lineage

20:48for impact analysis

20:49or to discover data are presented with a

20:52summary of what warnings are applied

20:53to the asset including upstream column

20:56warnings.

20:56Okay.

20:57So basically you know more about data

20:59quality when you're using the product.

21:00Google Drive shared file support.

21:04Files shared with you and shared drives are

21:07now accessible

21:07in the Google Drive connector.

21:09That is a nice touch.

21:10Shared drives are kind of drives that are

21:13central to your organizations

21:14but don't belong to you.

21:15In Google, the only drive that belongs to

21:18you is called My Drive.

21:19Everything else is going to be in a shared

21:22drive

21:22which is like an organizational drive.

21:24And so yeah, you can view those.

21:26And you can also see things that are shared

21:28with you

21:28because those technically live on someone

21:30else's drive

21:30but you've got the permission to see them.

21:32So that's kind of useful.

21:33Improved view data experience on mobile.

21:36Okay.

21:37So on mobile, one of the big sort of

21:39challenges is space.

21:39So when you go and view the data, this is a

21:42kind of a good--

21:42Although I think this is an Android device

21:44and it's got a bit of a weird proportion.

21:46I'm not going to lie.

21:47This doesn't look like a phone.

21:48It looks more like a, you know, like a

21:51tablet.

21:51But nonetheless, it is an improved

21:54experience.

21:54I'd love to see what that looks like on a

21:56phone.

21:56So once it's out, we'll try it out.

21:58Ask Data Web Component.

22:00So Ask Data Web Component,

22:02using the embedding API v3 and web

22:05components,

22:05developers can now incorporate all of Ask

22:07Data's functionality

22:08into the applications.

22:09So this is nice.

22:11So this, I think, means you can embed Ask

22:15Data.

22:15So think of this as a new asset type that

22:19you can now embed.

22:19Very nice.

22:20Accelerator enhancements.

22:22Now, accelerators now provide users

22:24with an overview of their KPIs, accessible

22:27from the homepage.

22:28Each KPI offers details on its business

22:30definition.

22:31The following details are now also

22:33documented directly

22:33for each accelerator.

22:34Business objectives, business questions,

22:36required attributes, and related acceler

22:39ators.

22:39So this is sort of like an upgrade to the

22:42requirements

22:42rather than like a big change.

22:45In all honesty, some dashboards were doing

22:47this

22:47right from the start.

22:48So it's kind of like a feature,

22:50but what it really means is that they're,

22:52you know,

22:52increasing the standard.

22:54Request access dialog box.

22:56Accessing relevant content is now simpler

22:59for Tableau users

22:59thanks to improved request access dialog.

23:02An easy to use dialog box that keeps users

23:04in their workflow

23:05is now presented to users when requesting

23:08access to a viz.

23:09In the new dialog box, users who are

23:11requesting access

23:12can also leave content owners' comments.

23:15Now, am I imagining this, or was this

23:20already available?

23:21Because the other thing about this is some

23:24of these features

23:24have come to 20 to 3.1, but from a previous

23:30release.

23:30So I'll come back to that in a second.

23:34Publish to personal space.

23:37Cool, so from desktop, you can now publish

23:39to personal space.

23:40That is a nice quality of life improvement.

23:43Before, really, only explorers and creators

23:47using WebEdit

23:47could publish to their personal space.

23:49Otherwise, they'd have to publish to a

23:51project,

23:51then move it to their personal space.

23:53This means you can now directly go to your

23:55personal space.

23:56The personal space cannot be viewed by

23:58others.

23:58It's not shareable.

23:59You can't do anything with it there, pretty

24:02much.

24:02It's just for you to sort of muck around

24:04with.

24:04Think of it as like a playground.

24:06The only person that can see what's in the

24:09personal space

24:10is an admin because they need to know how

24:13much space

24:13the assets you've stored in the personal

24:16space take,

24:16but I don't believe they can log in

24:17and actually have a look at your web kind

24:19of thing.

24:19So that's something to be aware of.

24:22Table extensions code editor.

24:24So they've added a code editor to the table

24:28extensions capability.

24:28I think if you go and watch my video on

24:30table extensions

24:30with Leo Laporte, that's one of the things

24:33he complained about.

24:33It now has a code editor, which I think

24:36recognizes

24:36the specific language that you're going to

24:39be using.

24:39So Python, R, I think MATLAB as well.

24:42So that's really cool.

24:43In fact, it does actually just tell you.

24:45R, Python, JavaScript, or plain text are

24:49the four things it offers.

24:50It does syntax highlighting, code

24:53formatting, command palette.

24:54That's nice, really nice.

24:56Web formatting enhancements.

24:58Users can now format their rows and columns

25:01.

25:01Web formatting, keep pushing forward.

25:03I feel like I'm not going to touch web

25:06formatting

25:06and web altering enhancements until it's

25:09done.

25:09It just seems to be part of every release,

25:10and I'm just waiting for the day when you

25:13don't have to think

25:13which product you're going to use, WebEdit

25:16or desktop.

25:16It's just taking too long, in my opinion.

25:18I think I've been saying that it's around

25:22the corner

25:22for the last three years, and I've just

25:24given up.

25:24Just finish it and let's move on.

25:28Incremental refresh enhancements.

25:30Incremental refreshers provide an

25:32economical way

25:33to keep extracts current.

25:36Okay, cool.

25:37So now you have MorphExpert to support

25:39incremental refreshers

25:41using non-unique key columns, such as

25:44column for date/time.

25:46That's cool.

25:47This update improves usability by expanding

25:50the number of tables

25:51eligible to use incremental refreshers.

25:53So you could, for example, use a number

25:56sequence

25:57to do an incremental refresh.

25:58Essentially, it's just going to check to

26:00see,

26:00hey, we're at 100 or 101.

26:02For 101, do the incremental refresh,

26:04bring the additional row in.

26:06Previously, you used to have to use --

26:12I think this explanation is a bit weird.

26:14With support for incremental refreshing

26:16using non-unique key columns.

26:19So non-unique key column, such as a column

26:24for date/time,

26:25that was already a requirement.

26:28A non-unique key column.

26:32I think my explanation is right,

26:34but this description is strange

26:37because it gives us an example of something

26:39you could already use for an incremental

26:41refresh.

26:41But anyway, we'll go back to that.

26:44View acceleration recommendation service.

26:47Oh, this is cool.

26:48So I have to say, if you look on my channel

26:52,

26:52you won't find a single video on view

26:54acceleration.

26:55You probably might wonder, why is that?

26:57Well, because I've never found a workbook

27:00that it works on.

27:01It's as simple as that.

27:03So I'm really intrigued to see what it's

27:08going to find

27:08on our server that is apparently going to

27:11be able to use this.

27:12Either everything I build is super

27:14efficient

27:14and doesn't benefit from it,

27:15or I've massively misunderstood the feature

27:18and there's actually a ton of stuff it can

27:20work on,

27:20and those are the things I should sort of

27:22go use it on.

27:23Offline activation improvements.

27:25Once your Tableau server is activated,

27:27you can now use login-based license

27:29management, LBLM,

27:31to activate desktop and prep builder for

27:33license creators

27:33in offline environments.

27:35The enhanced offline activation solution

27:36makes your key activation and management

27:38more efficient and scalable.

27:40So that's good.

27:41So you can activate these things offline,

27:43which is, you know, if you work in a bank

27:45where you're air-gapped

27:45and you can't necessarily just, you know,

27:47ping a Tableau licensing server, that's

27:50great.

27:50Ubuntu 20.04 LTS support.

27:53So Tableau server for Linux now supports

27:56Ubuntu 20.04.

27:58Essentially, LTS means long-term support

28:01distribution.

28:01So that's sort of the version

28:03that's going to keep getting supported for

28:05a while.

28:05That's good for security.

28:06It's good for stability as well.

28:08So data stories.

28:10And again, this data stories here is a

28:14feature from 20...

28:15Oh, interesting. This is a feature from

28:202022.2.

28:21It's now available in 2023.1.

28:23And I think all these others are going to

28:26be features released

28:26in previous versions of Tableau.

28:29Already available in Tableau Cloud, yeah.

28:32And now available in server 23.1.

28:35So there's probably, what is it?

28:37One, two, three, well, we've got six, seven

28:41, eight.

28:41Eight features there that are basically

28:45from the previous release.

28:46And that's an interesting dynamic

28:48because essentially it's like here are

28:51eight features

28:52that we're going to call new in this

28:54release,

28:54but actually were previously released,

28:55but for people on server, it's a new thing.

28:57And to be fair, server is still quite a

29:00large user base.

29:01So there will be companies who've been

29:03waiting for this release.

29:03But the problem is, is because they do the

29:05updates less often,

29:06what happens is people won't hop onto this

29:09release straightaway.

29:09They'll wait until 2023.3 to upgrade to 23.

29:171

29:17because you kind of want to stay one

29:20version behind

29:20with all the stability patches that have

29:23come through

29:23so that everything works.

29:24If you upgrade Tableau Server on day one,

29:27trust me,

29:28someone in your organization is going to

29:30find a bug.

29:30Tableau Cloud often has this experience

29:33actually.

29:33So one of the sort of interesting aspects

29:36of Tableau Cloud

29:37has been that, yeah, you get the latest and

29:39greatest of Tableau,

29:40but when there's a bug that massively sort

29:44of changes your workflow,

29:44you have to pivot to work around that bug.

29:46You don't have a choice to go back.

29:48So something super cool.

29:50So anyway, that is everything in this

29:52particular release.

29:53Really, really appreciate it.

29:55Now, a little note on the next coming weeks

29:58.

29:58I anticipate that Tableau will release this

30:01version

30:01at some point in the next month.

30:03I'm sort of going to make a call and say in

30:06the next two to three weeks.

30:06That said, I'm actually going to be away

30:08for a little while.

30:08I have some treatment that I have to go

30:10through

30:10and it just means I have to take a break.

30:12So if in the event that Tableau comes out

30:14whilst I'm on that break,

30:15I'll just be a little late with videos

30:17about the new release.

30:18That said, there are some videos that I've

30:21already started making

30:22that I never got around to edit

30:24that I am due to sort of keep pushing out

30:26on the channel.

30:27So I will still be doing updates,

30:29just there might be a little bit of sort of

30:32sequencing

30:32and timing issues to do with the new

30:34release,

30:34but that's pretty much it.

30:36Thanks for watching and I'll catch you in

30:39the next one.

30:39It's good to be back.

30:40It's good to actually have a voice I can

30:42use in a recording.

30:42And yeah, I'll see you in the next one.

30:44[BLANK_AUDIO]
