Tableau today announced the availability of Tableau 2022.3, a new version of the data visualization and analysis program designed to make it easier for business users to gain insights from their data by using features that include data to help discover business intelligence faster and more efficiently. a new advanced analysis and prediction tool called Table Extension.
Tableau has also added more dynamic dashboards to its offering, along with features that provide detailed event data and audit permissions, helping customers optimize performance and costs.
Tableau is a major player in the category of self-service BI (Business Intelligence) tools aimed primarily at non-professional developers, such as business analysts. As such, it is constantly refining the software's ability to deliver advanced analytics while trying to simplify complexity.
“Tableau is focused on delivering analytics everywhere, for everyone, especially as we continue to see enterprises struggle to unlock their own data,” Francois Ajenstat, Tableau's chief product officer, said in a company-issued press release. . "Our investments are integrating Tableau into other widely used applications and introducing self-service into the workflow, making insights easier, more relevant, and more actionable."
Dashboard reengineering
Customers using dashboards increasingly expect the delivery of personalized content and tailored experiences, yet it's often unsustainable and inefficient to create separate dashboards for each audience.
Also, for new users, navigating a dashboard and discovering information can be difficult without training.
In response to this challenge, Tableau's new feature, Data Guide, offers descriptions and resources to help users get started with dashboards, while also providing visibility into data.
The Data Guide enables customers to gain insights with Tableau's AI capabilities. Data Change Radar automatically highlights unusual changes, while its new explanation display feature helps identify outliers in data and understand the causes behind them.
Tableau also introduced a new dynamic zone visibility feature that allows users to show and hide dashboard zones, create rich experiences without the need for workarounds, and create an interactive dashboard that updates based on user input and actions.
Tableau's AI features have also been enhanced. The recently announced table extensions combine advanced analytics and predictions, making it easy to script and get predictions from Tableau data models. With table extensions, customers can transform, augment, evaluate, or modify information collected by data models using analytics extensions like Python, R, and Einstein Discovery.
Performance and cost optimization
For customers looking to scale background services (processes that run server tasks in the background), it is often important to strike a balance between performance and cost. With Tableau's new advanced management for Tableau Server, customers can schedule scaling of funds, while also having the ability to remove and add funds as needed.
Also, as batch workloads increase, users can add backgrounders to improve speed, and once jobs are processed, backgrounders can be removed to reduce costs, with no downtime. inactivity.
First released in Advanced Management for Tableau Cloud in Tableau 2022.2, Activity Log is now available to users in Advanced Management for Tableau Server. The activity log presents structured and documented event data and provides granular information that can be used to implement a robust set of controls, while Tableau's visualization capabilities allow users to create aggregate views and analyze activities at scale.
