Introduced in TC21 (but not yet released).Image role: Dynamically render images in the viz based on a link field in the data.From TC21 there are still a couple of very interesting features waiting to be released, I’m especially waiting for dynamic dashboard layouts. These could be for example product images or any other images that can be found via a url link in the source data. The only bigger announcement was the new image role to enable dynamic images in visualizations. In TC22 there weren’t too many features related to workbook authoring. You can watch the sessions at any time on Tableau site. Note: All the images are created using screenshots from the TC22 Opening Keynote / Devs on Stage session and Tableau new product innovations blog post.
These feature lists don’t contain all the features included in previous releases but the ones mentioned in TC21. More info about TC21 released features can be found in a previous blog post: A complete list of new features introduced at the Tableau Conference 2021.
Next I’ll go through the key features introduced in TC22 and also list functionalities presented in TC21 to understand the big picture. Also the cloud offering with better governance, security and manageability was a high priority. This is done using autoML type of functionalities to automatically describe and explain data, show outliers, create predictions and help to build and act on scenarios. At the moment, effort is put especially to democratize data analytics for everyone despite gaps in the data skills. In TC21 last year Tableau talked a lot about Slack integration and embedding to boost collaboration and sharing of insights. Tableau’s visual analytics and dashboarding capabilities are already one of best in the market. Taking account the new features introduced at TC22 Tableau platform includes good data preparation and modelling capabilities with many connectors to a variety of data sources, services and APIs. One of the big announcements was rebranding Tableau Online to Tableau Cloud and introducing plenty of new features to it. Mark Nelson underlined the meaning of cloud saying 70% of new customers start their analytical journey in the cloud. But the viewpoint was data skills – or lack of them – and data cultures more than technologies. Once again, the importance of data for businesses and organisations was highlighted.
In the keynote Tableau CEO Mark Nelson emphasised the role of both Tableau and Salesforce user communities to drive change with data: there are over 1M Tableau Datafam members and over 16M Salesforce Trailblazers.
