Feature highlights

View recommendations

View recommendations are personalized suggestions that instantly connect you to relevant data and content on your site. Powered by machine learning, these recommendations match preferences between users, surfacing content that others like you have found interesting or useful, including what's most popular and recent.

Table improvements

Now you can create tables with up to 50 columns with the ability to scroll horizontally. For flat tables, sort entire columns by dimensions and discrete measures across multiple panes.

Tables are essential to our everyday analysis in Administration and Finance. Now that we can see detail with more than 16 columns and with horizontal scroll, we will be able to understand our tables much better directly in Tableau, without needing to export the data. We are delighted!

Webhooks support

You can now create automated workflows, triggered by events as they happen, with webhooks support for Tableau Cloud and Tableau Server. With webhooks support, the possibilities are endless - you could build workflows that alert users of new content through Slack, or automatically create case tickets within ServiceNow, if an extract fails.
