Devs on Stage (2021) - Tableau conference 2021: Live reaction livestream

0:00[Music]

0:06and we're in. I think so.

0:09This is some good stream beats you

0:13got going on.

0:16Slowly get you hyped. Exactly, exactly.

0:18Welcome everyone. We already had 16

0:21people waiting

0:22before we went live.

0:26We're building up some momentum, I love

0:27it, I love it. Hello everyone who's

0:28watching. Let us know where you're from.

0:30Let us know where you're tuning in from.

0:33And what you're most excited about.

0:34Exactly. Like this is the event

0:37for the analyst.

0:38This is the bit where you get hyped for

0:40the stuff that's going to help you do

0:41your job.

0:42Yeah. And like it pushes you through the

0:45pain

0:46of the things you're going through

0:47right now. Exactly, exactly.

0:51Cool. With Tableau, not

0:54just with life. Exactly. Good work,

0:57good work. It should be an interesting

0:59event I think. I think the keynote was

1:01good because it sort of just

1:02extended the boundaries, it sort of

1:06stretched our minds a little bit.

1:08This is where I kind of go back and

1:11look at

1:12are they still paying attention to the

1:13stuff that we all want to see when we

1:15use Tableau day to day. And I think

1:17this is the audience for that. This is

1:18the perfect

1:19sort of setting for that. So I can't wait.

1:22100% and it's,

1:24I think there was an interesting comment

1:26from Matt Francis earlier this morning

1:27when he caught up on our stream from the

1:28keynote.

1:29Right. Which is, there's no real right

1:32place to put devs on stage because

1:34he's spot on. Like the keynote is

1:37the corporate feel. This is what we're

1:39setting the scene for the rest of the

1:41conference.

1:41Yeah. And then devs on stage is like

1:46this is for you, this is the bit for you,

1:48the person who's the user.

1:50Yeah. So that's why it's so exciting.

1:53Trying to pull up the

1:54tweet. Had some good points.

1:57This is where Twitter is awful. You can't

1:59search Twitter at all these days.

2:02You need to know what you're looking for.

2:03Exactly.

2:05Anya's straight in. Am I excited about

2:08prep on public?

2:10It's not prep, it's prep in, I'm sorry,

2:14prep on public,

2:15not Tableau prep public. Yeah exactly,

2:18exactly,

2:18exactly. So I'm fine with it. It's just a

2:20repository. It's just a repository

2:22and it helps with collaboration and

2:24community things and that's only a good

2:26thing.

2:27Exactly. So this is Matt's tweet.

2:31Just basically summarizing his thoughts

2:33on the conference which is pretty cool.

2:35Thanks for giving us that Matt.

2:39Because it's, because yeah as we said

2:41it's

2:44it is a good part to end the

2:48time on. Exactly. How many times will

2:50we hear ask data or Slack? I think a lot.

2:53I'll take bets. Let's take some

2:57bets from people.

2:58No money on the table of course, we don't

2:59gamble here but I'd love to know

3:02how many times. Single digits, double

3:04digits.

3:05Give us a number. I'm going single. I

3:07reckon that the Slack stuff was mainly

3:09for the

3:10keynote and we'll see a little bit

3:13but the

3:14the bulk of it will be a lot of the

3:15other stuff in my opinion.

3:17Ask data is an interesting one. I think

3:19less as well.

3:20I'm saying single digits for both.

3:22Alright I think double digits I can't

3:24spell but I think

3:25double digits say. Ask data I think

3:29will

3:30we'll get a mention but I

3:32don't think it'll be double digits

3:33because I think it's

3:34it's maturing as a feature so I think

3:36we'll get reminded about it but I never

3:37think those count.

3:38I never think those are the the ones to

3:40sort of worry about saying yeah.

3:42Yeah. What everyone hyped about like is

3:44there something that you want to see

3:46that little pain point that you're

3:47working on even today?

3:49Man if Tableau could solve that my life

3:52would be so much easier.

3:54There's lots of those for me honestly.

3:56I could go on for days and I do go on

3:58for days

3:59for context. Try the YouTube channel.

4:03It's funny the the video about hacks in

4:05Tableau triggered so many Tableau devs

4:08it was amazing.

4:08Not in a bad way in a healthy way they

4:10sort of reached out they wanted to

4:12sort of connect and talk about some of

4:14those pain points. I love that that

4:16that happened

4:16but the thing is it's not just me they

4:18do this all the time with customers and

4:21I think it's we've reached a point where

4:23Tableau is so big

4:24that there is so much legacy to go back

4:26and try and connect with so

4:28yeah. It's also internally connecting

4:30folks within Tableau to say well I spoke

4:32about this person over here and this

4:33person over here and making sure that

4:35the conversations you've had with one is

4:37is also relayed across.

4:39I'd encourage everyone on the

4:41stream I'll probably say this again

4:42through the

4:43through the stream we've got when we

4:45were underway as well

4:46but getting all the beaters like the way

4:48that these features come to life

4:50is they start on the the ideas gallery to

4:53get like a long list of features to work

4:55on

4:55so do chuck things into the ideas forum

4:58and then also get involved with the

5:00beaters and share back your feedback

5:02about what you want to see within the

5:03product and why and the use cases

5:06because then what Tableau will do like

5:07for example with LODs

5:09no one was saying I'd like a level of

5:11detailed calculation. Exactly

5:13exactly. But it was the thing that you

5:15that they ended up with to solve a bunch

5:17of problems and the same with the data

5:18model as well.

5:19Exactly so I've got it up on screen and

5:21and it's actually a

5:22a slightly maybe quite part of the

5:25Tableau forums potentially but there are

5:27nearly 10 000 ideas and they do pay

5:29attention to these I just had a

5:30discussion last week about you know

5:32if I have these 10 features which ones

5:34would I prioritize and I actually went

5:35through the list and there's some that I

5:37um I put at the top what I wish what I

5:40wish is that this point system

5:42was um wasn't transferable so you could

5:45just keep voting things up

5:47like if you vote on something else you

5:48couldn't vote on something else a finite

5:50number of points

5:51and what that would do is it would

5:52reflect the current feeling about

5:54certain features because sometimes

5:56Tableau release features and they do

5:59improve the situation and so you might

6:01prioritize a feature in another space

6:03now that that situation is better over

6:05the one you're assuming a lot of people

6:07spend time on this page right like I

6:09only go in these when someone says like

6:11hey is this an idea you've interested

6:12and it's either

6:13yes I like it or no I'll dislike it well

6:16I'll leave it

6:17but isn't that a good thing because um

6:19people assume that people spend time and

6:21sometimes they have to look at this and

6:22say ah these are all meaningful points

6:23well actually

6:24if if interest has waned over time

6:27should they really be a focus if that

6:29makes sense right

6:30but on the other hand you say that but

6:32dynamic parameters was top of that list

6:34for how many years and then

6:36the reaction they got when they finally

6:39announced it two years ago

6:40right right that that was the like mic

6:43drop moment I think that's the biggest

6:45biggest reaction I've seen exactly

6:48exactly

6:49so yeah it's interesting definitely

6:51check out this page um

6:53they used to have a viz here right um I

6:55think here it is

6:56if you go to this tab it loads up and it

6:59shows you

6:59over the last 90 days your ideas with

7:02the most travel so add tooltip to shapes

7:05shape selection showing file name so

7:07these are always nuanced

7:08I always like like to go into these ones

7:11at the top with uh lots of votes Tableau

7:13prep function to

7:14um a s s yeah uh create a way to easily

7:18control which level

7:19subtext oh yes yeah I'm gonna go I'm

7:21gonna go after we finish this I'm gonna

7:23go and

7:26allow to turn off auto update filters in

7:28Tableau server

7:29okay that's interesting um if we sort of

7:32just go back

7:32let me let me be bold let's go to 90

7:34weeks let's see what happens to this

7:36viz

7:36oh look at that look at that it's funny

7:39like look how many are all the way back

7:40here

7:41back in the 20s and that's just in the

7:42last if we went back oh god 90 months

7:45let's see if this quiz breaks uh here we

7:48go

7:50I love the highlighting is uh contextual

7:53right so

7:53so it's like a legend that's uh sort of

7:56fixed

7:56so some of these high tabs um going back

8:00to when

8:01that's not a product surely right you

8:03can hide and show

8:04times it's probably not to the exact

8:06spec that this feature was submitted in

8:08double click to adjust column width uh

8:10view and edit filters

8:12I mean there's so much stuff in here a

8:15lot of it's granular but

8:16it makes someone's workflow better so go

8:18check out these ideas and

8:20sort of take part as Jonathan says in

8:23the chat like so many so

8:25few Tableau users vote for anything so

8:27so it'll be so good if people on this

8:29stream is like let's put the white out

8:30like let's pass on

8:32the ideas for him and say look there is

8:34a method for you to get the thing that

8:36you've got hurt you

8:37right into the products and that's the

8:39ideas for him and also I spend some time

8:41liking stuff commenting

8:42there's something like hey I could

8:44probably give a bit of context on that

8:45as well

8:46yeah um and it's a great way to make

8:49friends with devs which is what we've

8:50done right Tim

8:51yeah I think it's uh yeah friends and uh

8:54harass as well

8:55potentially so um yeah we like to have

8:57these conversations frequently I think

8:59um

9:00it kind of keeps us engaged with the

9:02product I think that's the bit of

9:03um Tableau I love the most understanding

9:05what where they're sort of taking the

9:07product

9:07um but it also kind of really amazes me

9:11how deep

9:11each of the devs goes into every feature

9:13I think sometimes you look at a feature

9:15when it comes down you think at a very

9:16surface level ah they haven't thought of

9:18this haven't thought of that like

9:2099.999 percent of the time

9:23they absolutely have it's a question of

9:25resource and timings and

9:27you know product market fit and fit the

9:29market all those things

9:31um sort of um control what actually gets

9:34put into the product

9:35so oma's got a great point here the

9:36support we're getting the content

9:38migration tool so I've not used the

9:40content migration tool

9:41yeah so this is this is a nice niche

9:43one I think

9:44I definitely saw some chatter around you

9:46know they wanted some feedback and

9:48possibly might be in this beta as well

9:50I'm not sure yeah

9:51um it's definitely something that's

9:53interesting um I just had a call

9:55uh a week ago with a company called

9:58wisdom who

9:59um have a CICD

10:02tool that works with Tableau so it's

10:05essentially a testing and integration

10:06tool for Tableau

10:07and it's really cool I walked through

10:08the demo it was really interesting

10:10um so I'm gonna spend some time sort of

10:12working with it just to see if it's

10:13sort of really meets the expectations

10:15because sometimes the demo and reality

10:17are never the same but

10:18I think there are more and more people

10:20asking for that sort of world of tools

10:22around the Tableau platform

10:26you've got multi cards for measure

10:28values I actually

10:30I actually have seen this uh feature

10:33uh on a dev desk as it were seeing as

10:36that's what's today

10:38so this I think there's gonna be a stage

10:40by the way I think there's gonna be a

10:41stage because if you call back

10:43I think if you look back at the keynote

10:46yeah they were all

10:48they were all green screen right I think

10:50it's a stage

10:51um as a video connoisseur I can tell you

10:54that's not a green screen

10:57unless someone turns up and tells me

11:00they've done some VFX on top of it which I

11:03doubt they have done for a technology

11:04conference so yeah

11:07support for preferences tps file um

11:10and customers see all of that sounds

11:13like profile air to me like something

11:15that follows you around

11:17um yeah and is is your personal

11:20preferences yeah so

11:22Omar Ravi Ravi has uh this uh very

11:25simple idea I'll I'll explain it for you

11:27because otherwise he'll spend

11:28half an hour talking about we've got 10

11:30minutes essentially

11:32um you have identity so think of your

11:34google profile right it carries it

11:36carries across

11:36all google products and also works on

11:39other platforms that aren't necessarily

11:40google's

11:41um Ravi's idea is essentially to create

11:42something similar for tableau that not

11:44only sort of follows you around

11:45public prep desktop but also carries

11:48things like your preferences

11:50style sheets and what that allows

11:52tableau to do is to layer on

11:54um their understanding of you so for

11:57example if they see you trying to do

11:58a table calculation in a weird way they

12:01might say okay this person's never used

12:02an lod maybe we should throw up a

12:04tutorial for an lod right now because it

12:06looks like the right thing to do in this

12:08step

12:08and tableau can do that through

12:09metadata right they can actually look

12:11into the workbook

12:12and gain all these insights so that's

12:15that's uh Ravi's idea in a nutshell

12:16I think did I do that justice very much

12:19so I had added a bit

12:20add a bit of sauce on top as well so

12:23you are a fan of hot sauce like me so

12:25I'll say I need some hot sauce for that

12:28um just looking at uh Jonathan's comment

12:31here

12:31about product managers is um

12:34uh and uh hold on this is in two parts

12:38um yeah exactly yeah

12:42yeah exactly yeah yeah yeah yeah 100

12:44degree like

12:46I think um as as users we often think

12:48about

12:49the next step and sometimes that's not

12:52the right approach right

12:53it's never enough

12:56oh god you've got some fans there with

13:00the uh profile profile there

13:02love it love it no it is never enough and

13:06I think even after today we'll be like

13:07oh that's great but wouldn't it be great

13:10if it could also do it

13:11can I ask you something Ravi can I ask

13:13you something is your idea

13:14in the tableau ideas page

13:18I feel like I think I think you should

13:24I think you've talked about it enough

13:26that I feel like it's now my duty to

13:28freshy to have something on the ideas

13:30page soon enough

13:31so that I can link to something you've

13:34got the link to my blog post

13:36the blog post I wrote a year ago is

13:38still there but

13:39grab grab grab that put it in the ideas

13:43page

13:44France or it needs a bit more flashing

13:47uh good work good work

13:52but yeah no and Jonathan's spot on the

13:54never enough is totally our job because

13:56we

13:56we support and sort of showcase like

13:59what is what are the things that we care

14:00about right right

14:02um because it's it's it was interesting

14:04listening to Andrew Beers a few years

14:06ago

14:06when he was just like you know we sort

14:08of line up these ideas we take it

14:10informal like as we're doing here

14:11informal bets to say

14:12that's the one that's going to get them

14:14hyped or that's going to get them hyped

14:16and it's like well actually neither of

14:17them did but this weird thing you guys

14:19like mobile

14:20yeah like in in 21.4

14:23everyone's about to go crazy about copy

14:25and paste in fact they already have

14:27if that doesn't ship in 21.4 I think

14:30right a crisis will happen right

14:34but there's so many other things like

14:35row level security virtual connections

14:37those are groundbreaking but no

14:39copy and this is it this is it like um

14:43like Tahir said on on the on the stream

14:46on Tuesday she's like you guys use the

14:47horn for like row level security it's

14:49like

14:50yeah

14:54tim's got a bucket load of sound

14:55effects i have a lot of this is gonna be

14:57bags of them

15:00we could go through them very quickly uh

15:02maybe annoy everyone and we'll see okay

15:04we're at 21 people in the stream let's

15:06see how many we lose

15:07uh after the sound effects so

15:10this is a nice little subtle horn you

15:12know just sound of appreciation

15:14um we've got the dramatic

15:17uh bass drop which is uh which then

15:20comes back around

15:21it does come back around um we've got

15:23the

15:24uh incredible joy

15:27this is pure hype this is pure hype i

15:30want to use this

15:31all the time today okay

15:34i do not want to be disappointed and

15:37then for that sort of

15:39uh little moment of surprise we've got

15:40this one

15:43i have to say that sounds like shaggy

15:45from uh scooby-doo i think it is

15:48so so the the is for when we're like oh

15:51yeah and we're pausing and sitting there

15:53in silence exactly

15:55um we did have some intro music let me

15:57turn

15:58the sound effects down because this is a

15:59bit loud but

16:03exactly

16:05yeah so yeah we have we have some fun

16:10sound effects for today it's gonna be

16:12it's gonna be good fun

16:14yeah yeah so we've got some other

16:16comments in here so

16:18oma had a go with his hex codes and i

16:21think tried to copy his tps files

16:23right

16:25and that just got that just copies your

16:27colors right like this is this is what

16:29the tps file does

16:30but imagine again imagining if that tps

16:32file has helped

16:33so many more preferences like your

16:35padding settings your

16:36favorite fonts and as an enterprise user

16:39can you push that tps file to everyone

16:41here's right now you can push the we all

16:44think too much about files

16:46okay i read an interesting article on

16:49the verge

16:49how um students going to uni today don't

16:52understand file systems

16:53because they've been brought up on

16:55smartphones and devices that don't have

16:57file systems they've been brought up on

16:59google docs

17:00that just has stuff they have notions

17:02which has content blocks

17:03and it's so funny that we all think of

17:05everything as files

17:06but imagine if you just blow away files

17:09um ravi this is teeing you up again for

17:11the profile there right

17:14just blow the concept of files and just

17:16have a bunch of settings right it

17:18doesn't matter whether they're a file

17:19whether they're in a work wherever they

17:21are

17:21they're just assets like blocks of

17:24information

17:25and that's actually what we want to be

17:26able to sort of transfer and i think

17:29when we think about things like the

17:30tableau exchange i think of those things

17:32as

17:32we talked a bit about this a few weeks

17:34ago flows right these are just

17:35components

17:36as part of a bigger workflow and they

17:38come together to make a solution right

17:40i think that that is going to be the

17:42really powerful moment for tableau when

17:44they can modularize these sort of

17:46independent parts so i think we're

17:47starting and there's a little bit of

17:49this we have to see i think okay cool

17:51you and i will want people to see this

17:54this is an advert

18:01this is it's freezing again i'm so

18:08interested to see

18:10where these people have found

18:14hold on a second let me refresh this

18:19let me refresh this

18:25that that appeared in disability

18:30we actually saw this earlier on we

18:35thought it was pretty funny so um that's

18:37why i want to show everyone that but

18:39we missed it god damn it it's all right

18:41it's all right the countdown's on now

18:43tim

18:43do you want to chuck on devs on stage

18:45the countdown is on live okay cool

18:47let's uh let's do this let's do this

26:20hey folks my name's nathan and i'm

26:22excited to be here today to show you

26:24some of the features that we're building

26:26in

26:27tablo's core analytics experience to

26:29help you push the frontiers of data

26:31storytelling

26:32even further data storytelling

26:34interesting story with tablo myself i

26:36started as a product consultant on our

26:38sales team

26:39then i was a customer and now i'm back

26:42as a product manager in our dev org

26:44amazing and throughout that whole time

26:46i've had a chance to see some of the

26:47amazing things you've done with tablo to

26:49unlock your data and tell really

26:51incredible data stories

26:54but i also know that building

26:55visualizations like this

26:57isn't always as easy as it should be

26:59sometimes that means pulling down a few

27:01ken florage blog posts or

27:03reverse engineering a dashboard that you

27:05download here we go

27:06kent with our first feature today

27:08visualization extensions

27:10we're going to make this experience

27:11drag and drop easy let's take a look

27:14here i've got the same great dashboard

27:16down in tablo the button's ready

27:19but i know that building them is going

27:21to require me to

27:23structure the data and really write some

27:25complex calcs

27:27with visualization extensions i can make

27:29that as easy as

27:30just a few drags and drops all i have to

27:33do is

27:34select a custom mark type oh look at

27:37that

27:38i can see the marks card realign around

27:40that

27:41now i just have to place some of these

27:44fields in the view

27:45to get that great

27:48active and clickable love it is in tablo

27:52so i can even start exploring further by

27:55breaking down the vis

27:56we'll have a ding as well for ken that's

27:58not all

27:59with visualization extensions you're

28:01going to be able to get under the hood

28:03and actually fine tune every component

28:06of the visualization with the marks

28:07yeah

28:11so good charts down the tableau way or

28:14native visualization types in tableau

28:16and you'll be able to share templates

28:18through the gallery

28:19extensions exactly so other people can

28:22share your own as well

28:23not just seeing a few sheets here that's

28:24really important i have some great

28:26visualization types

28:27that are already functioning i can't

28:29wait you're going to build with

28:30visualization extensions

28:32flexibility and customization

28:35yeah i've seen dashboards out there that

28:38are truly dynamic

28:39data-driven applications sometimes

28:41building that level of customization

28:43takes a few hacks to glue everything

28:45together right right

28:46but with our next feature dynamic

28:48dashboard layouts

28:49you're going to be able to make that just

28:51ever because 12

28:52here i've got a dashboard that shows my

28:55sales over time

28:56and i also have some details about those

28:58sales

28:59i want to see those details but only

29:01when i focused in on a specific time

29:03range

29:04using dynamic layouts i can use a

29:07parameter that i've placed in the

29:08dashboard

29:09to hide those details away

29:13two weeks of sales in the center

29:16yes i'm ready i can easily bring those

29:19details back

29:21and focus in on that time it's so good

29:24what we're doing is using dynamic

29:26layouts to tie a parameter

29:28to whether we show or hide

29:32this container in the dashboard oh so we

29:34can see that

29:35using the option i can select that

29:38parameter

29:40and make sure i'm looking at the

29:41dashboard and the vis is

29:43exactly the way i want we could use

29:45calculated fields

29:46and because we're able to use

29:48parameters this is nice

29:49tie those to dashboard actions so you

29:52have fine-grained control

29:53based on the data of exactly what your

29:56dashboard looks like

29:57this is it this is it it's been as only

29:59nice elements like that

30:02dashboards are only as good as the data

30:04take down my container video

30:07you see and understand your data and

30:09increasingly you have that means using

30:11spatial analytics to better understand

30:13the world around us

30:14for example here i've got a data set of

30:17all of the counties in washington state

30:19and i have a question i want to

30:21understand exactly how fire

30:23impacted the state in 2021

30:26in the past this might have meant

30:28creating a single integrated data source

30:30with spatial joins to

30:32tie together different data sources with

30:34our new feature

30:36multi-data source spatial layers that

30:38process is as easy

30:40as connecting to a different data source

30:42and dragging in that data

30:43that's good i think that's a 21-4 i have

30:45a second data source that

30:47includes all the information about fires

30:49in 2021

30:50just basically it's basically multi

30:52i think it's a blend right but it helps

30:55you deal with

30:56details where you have gaps in your data

30:59right and i

30:59can highlight things by changing the

31:01second date source and immediately see

31:03where fires

31:04is different counties in 2021 well it's

31:06not a scaffold no scaffold though i want

31:08to understand

31:09what was the largest fire this year i can

31:12answer that right away with tablo's new

31:15spatial area calculation this

31:17calculation is going to let me

31:19simply pass in a spatial geometry

31:22specify my units and i've now

31:25easily computed exactly how large each

31:28part of the spatial file is

31:31all i have to do is drag that into my

31:33visualization

31:34boom and right away i can see that the

31:38schneider springs fire

31:39in yakima county at about 161 square

31:42miles

31:42was the largest in the state and i put

31:44possibly

31:45the data

31:47is already live as well

31:50seeing and understanding data though

31:51sometimes means looking past the

31:52visualization

31:53to actually see the row level details

31:56behind it

31:57i've seen you use view data to help get

32:00deeper in data

32:01and it's like

32:03oh

32:05can't keep up continue sharing and

32:07helping other people

32:08answer the same questions that you have

32:10we've also heard your asks for more

32:12customization and control of what we can

32:14do with the view data experience

32:16right and with a newly redesigned view

32:19data

32:19i have full control over exactly what i

32:22see

32:23when i get down to the yes i can yes

32:27no more building sheets for that oh

32:30but i can now control exactly what i see

32:32by removing columns

32:35changing their water i wonder if this

32:38persists

32:38even that's the thing does it persist in

32:40your workbook as your preference and

32:42adding in additional fields

32:44and of course i can always pull down the

32:46data as a csv

32:48that will respect the design changes i

32:49think it'll be one at a time to share

32:51around

32:52this is just our first step though and

32:53going forward you're going to be able to

32:55publish it

32:58with your dashboards so that your end

33:00consumers see the row level data

33:02just the way that you intended very good

33:04speaking of those end consumers

33:05we want to make sure that your

33:06dashboards are performing

33:09just as great as they look and we've

33:10heard your ask for a little bit more

33:12help

33:12in making sure that things run great

33:15with our last feature today

33:16the workbook optimizer we're going to be

33:19able to yeah

33:20good when i go to

33:23i now have a new option that i can

33:25select to run the optimizer this

33:27makes things so much easier

33:29like a layman to understand

33:32do you know what i want ravi

33:35the profile is

33:36i can even put this on the

33:39metadata for this for each user and

33:41coach them to be better

33:43improve long-running counts so i have the

33:46insurance that my workbook

33:47is going to run this is education the

33:49flow right exactly education the flow

37:41think about

37:41all of the steps you would have to take

37:42today to get here as a viewer i have to

37:45go back and forth with an analyst to

37:46figure out which fields i want to

39:26now you saw virtual connections earlier

39:27this week and i wanted to take a second

39:29to show you a couple of the things that

39:30make it my favorite feature this year

39:33i've already created a virtual

39:34connection with some music data for a

39:35dj friend of mine

39:36they're okay with me bringing their data

39:38into tablo and even sharing it with

39:39others as long as access to some of the

39:41more confidential tables

39:43is securely controlled right let's take

39:45a look we can see the seven tables i

39:46brought in from one database as well as

39:48one data policy

39:49now tables and virtual connections are

39:51visible to everyone

39:52this is part of the days management

39:54access to the clients and the finances

39:56table

39:57that's where the data policy comes in if

39:59you look at the data policy you can see

40:01it's scoped to just those two tables and

40:03it limits access to just one username

40:05i can even make sure it's working the

40:07way i want by previewing with the policy

40:09applied down below

40:10if i view it as my friend i see 95 rows

40:13and if i view it as anyone else

40:17zero rows i wonder whether this is going

40:19to like why i'm a huge user audience

40:22yeah allow you to essentially use the

40:23names as well to groups of tables

40:25let me show you one more thing i know

40:27the performances table has recently been

40:29renamed to us performances in the

40:30database

40:31i don't want to spend my time finding

40:33and updating all the content that gets

40:35broken

40:35table has recently been renamed to us

40:37performances in the database

40:39i don't want to spend my time finding

40:40has recently been renamed to us

40:42performances in the database

40:44i don't want to spend my time finding

40:45and updating all the content that gets

40:47broken

40:48has recently been renamed to us i have

40:50to restart this

40:51connection because governing your data

40:52has never been easier and once you try

40:54out virtual connections

40:55i'm sure they'll be your favorite too now

40:57that i'm done managing my friends data

40:59i'm going to start bringing in my own

41:00song data using tablet prep

41:02i'll be running a prep flow to combine

41:04my song playlist with some song ranking

41:05metadata

41:06now when i kick off a flow run i'm eager

41:08to get started as soon as it finishes so

41:11i could keep an eye on my email but i

41:13prefer slack

41:14hey hey wait this prep flow to my slack

41:18account

41:18oh again here to save the day three

41:21notifications on

41:22slack four i can figure any flow to pink

41:25slack when it finishes so i can make

41:27sure that i know the instant my new data

41:29becomes available

41:30i'll show you by kicking off my flow

41:31which i've already figured

41:34just like that slack lets me get started

41:36using my data right away prep

41:38notifications on slack make it simple to

41:40stay on top of the latest changes to

41:42your data

41:43so this next part makes me think of

41:44rhythm when you've got a nice rhythm

41:46going

41:47you don't want to miss a beat right it's

41:49the same thing with running flows right

41:50when you have a chain of flows that

41:51depend on one another you want them to

41:53start on cube

41:54one after the other nice you might try

41:56to make this work by running them

41:58manually or maybe you could do this

41:59scheduling approach

42:00but using api i'm consuming no no you

42:03could do this now no more it's

42:0421 allows you to set your 21 with link

42:07tasks

42:08i do not if you look at the linear flow

42:10you can see there's seven other flows

42:12that have to run before my flow can

42:13produce a save me actually a couple of

42:15weeks ago i feel like manually running

42:16all those flows so instead i've added

42:18them all to just one link task

42:21if we edit the link task you can see all

42:22those flows are now scheduled yeah you

42:24can do this right this is good what if

42:26one of the steps fails halfway through

42:27the process will i lose all my results

42:30no worries link tasks can be configured

42:32to handle failing steps without

42:33losing a beat with link tasks no run a

42:36macro

42:36ever over how your flows run basically no

42:38more waiting around for flows to finish

42:40no more scheduled guesstimation now

42:42sometimes you're in the mood to dance

42:43at rock music

42:44sometimes it's rmb all right musical

42:46taste can change pretty often just like

42:48the cleaning criteria in your data

42:49and when you've got small changes to

42:51really good flow to his presentation i

42:53love it flow can feel like overkill

42:55it's not too cheesy adapt to changing

42:57needs and i'm excited to announce you

42:58done just that with parameters in tableau

43:00prep

43:01there we go in my case i've created a

43:03parameter for music genre i use to

43:05filter my data

43:06and when naming my output results that's

43:08right

43:09parameters and prep can even be applied

43:11to input and output steps

43:14now what if you're not sure what values

43:21you need no worries you can still use the

43:24values that were set when the parameter

43:25was first added

43:26oh super with this simple change my flow

43:28can roll with whatever sounds good to me

43:31parameters speed up your workflow and

43:32save you from duplicating redundant work

43:34by making your flows more flexible than

43:36ever before

43:37all right looks like my data is ready to

43:39go and now i even have that extra

43:40content from my friend

43:41i'm super excited to dive into this data

43:43and get my groove on so

43:45throw it over to alex boom i wonder

43:48how the parameters

43:52like does it output to the same place

43:54i'm excited to share with you the

43:55enhancements that we're making to server

43:57and

43:57online based on your feedback server and

43:59online here we go matters and when

44:01things are slow

44:02hear about containers let's do a

44:04container bingo right now we're

44:04expanding the resource monitoring tools

44:07to make it easier for you to quickly

44:08diagnose when things are slow

44:10i'm going to show you a favorite tool

44:12right here

44:14and this view monitors your dashboard

44:16load times

44:16right so system issues and solve

44:19problems faster

44:21it works by taking all of your

44:22dashboard load times and uses them to

44:24establish a baseline

44:26and then from there you can see what's

44:28running slowly and what's failed

44:29entirely

44:31it also has the ability to click and

44:33drag across the view

44:35so you can see all the activity

44:39and then from there you can filter down

44:41to see exactly the information that you

44:43need to help solve your issues

44:45yeah two other really quick things that

44:47i want to note are that you can

44:48establish a new baseline

44:50so if you make a change to your system

44:52you can check the performance

44:53before and after your change right and

44:55we've also added timestamp granularity

44:58to zip logs

44:59so if you do have an issue and you need

45:00to share your logs you don't have to

45:02pull an entire day's worth of logs

45:04anymore yeah

45:05do you need help granting equitable

45:07access to your background or resources

45:09or preventing one site from taking over

45:11all the background or resources at once

45:13and blocking your server

45:14one of our most requested features is

45:17resource limits

45:19resource limits works by allowing you to

45:21come in and set your default limits for

45:23your various sites

45:24so i can say for example that they're

45:26all going to get four extract refreshes

45:29or they get 35 background or hours

45:31i have the ability to customize this as

45:33well so let's say

45:35it's the end of the quarter for sales or

45:38they're approaching an important time of

45:39the year and we want to give them some

45:40additional resources we can do that

45:42right

45:44so let's go ahead and give them 10

45:46extract refreshes

45:49and then when this is very good right

45:51end of their quarter or their time period

45:53is ending

45:54i can come in and i can set the default

45:56back to the way it was

45:57it's a fine tuning fine tune control when

45:58it comes to background or resources it

46:00makes admin it's really hard to balance

46:02the need to and it's good to see this

46:04because this is not for online online

46:06does this itself right this is

46:08people who want to still commit to the

46:10on-prem life or running in a hybrid cloud

46:12so let's go ahead and take a look

46:14here you can see i have three pods

46:16running on kubernetes

46:17and if we increase the load that's on the

46:19system

46:21it'll automatically scale up i've got

46:24two additional pods that are now

46:26initializing and running on the server

46:28and let's see what happens when that

46:29load goes away

46:32it'll scale back down automatically as

46:34well how cool is that

46:36with tablo online we do the performance

46:38fine tuning and server management for you

46:40to make your lives easier

46:42you told us that you need to embed

46:44tablo content within your authenticated

46:46sites

46:46and right now it's really complicated and

46:48unwieldy

46:49so now with connected apps it's easier

46:52to integrate tablo in your application

46:55let's go ahead and create a new app

46:56connection this is good i like this

46:59let's name this tablo conference 21

47:03and we can grant access to all of our

47:05projects or specific ones

47:07and there's also a domain whitelist as

47:09well

47:10and this just makes authentication

47:12generally and now we'll generate our new

47:14secret

47:15and a secret is essentially the secure

47:16handshake between your application and

47:19tablo online

47:21now we've created an app connection from

47:24here your engineers can connect your

47:25application to tablo

47:27so your users won't be able to tell

47:28where your application ends

47:30and tablo begins and in case you're

47:32curious this feature is also available on

47:34tablo server i'm sure that that's like

47:36it's shared with us that you have a need

47:38to embed content in external public

47:40facing sites as well

47:42so to help with that we've built tablo

47:44broadcasts it allows you to share

47:46contract publicly

47:47really easily and it allows your team to

47:49collaborate privately and build your data

47:54until you're ready to share. Once you're

47:56ready to share it

47:57you go ahead and say i'm ready to

47:58broadcast and from there you'll get a

48:01confirmation

48:02that you are in fact ready to make this

48:04information public

48:06after that you'll get embeddable code

48:08and a link that you can place into your

48:09external facing website

48:11and now our content has been broadcast

48:14and it's publicly available

48:15and because tablo broadcast is a part of

48:17tablo online

48:18you can automate your flow via apis

48:20perform data governance

48:22and use these statistics. Broadcast will be

48:25coming soon to tablo online and we'll

48:26have more details to share about pricing

48:28at that time.

48:29Only on tablo online. And now over to Jamar

48:31who's

48:31going to show you more about how you can

48:32display data publicly.

48:32To the web, to the web, to the web, to the

48:37web.

48:38If you add a public facing server it'd be

48:39great to have that on server as well.

48:42I'm Jamar and i'm a product manager for

48:44tablo public

48:45the internet's largest repository of

48:47interactive data visualization. I love that

48:49public has its own moment.

48:50Our community is five million users strong

48:52and we just celebrated our two millionth

48:54published fizz.

48:56That's a huge accomplishment. The public

48:59team is on a mission to become

49:01the destination for public data

49:02storytelling.

49:04We want to ensure that public is the

49:05site where the community is engaged

49:07is empowered to work with and

49:09ultimately understand data more

49:11effectively.

49:12Today i'm here to share with you some of

49:14the things we've been working on to get

49:15us there.

49:16We start off where i do the majority of

49:18my cross-company collaboration,

49:19Slack.

49:20Now I wish I could spend the day on

49:22Twitter or Reddit with the data fam but

49:24the reality is at work I spend a ton of

49:27time on Slack.

49:28What's been great is that now with some

49:30of the new public Slack integrations

49:32I can tap into what's going on in public

49:34without jumping out of my workflow.

49:37I can search directly from Slack.

49:39So let's see what public has about Drake.

49:42Nice. And I can even set up notifications

49:45for things like visit the day

49:46or just use the app like this.

49:49That's super good.

49:50That's super good.

49:52Such public in Slack.

49:55This app makes it really easy for me to

49:57click through and dive deeper into the

49:59viz in public.

50:00With viz of the day I'm always

50:02learning something new from the

50:03featured viz.

50:04And it's been amazing to see how

50:05talented and artistic the community is.

50:08And there's just so much to see on

50:09public right? Right. But the problem was

50:11because the community didn't have a way

50:13to find and organize it all, you relied

50:15on other platforms to connect the dots

50:17back to public. Well we wanted to change

50:20that. So let's start with what we

50:21did with search.

50:23Let's check out LeBron.

50:26We invested in search because we wanted

50:28to make sure you could reliably find

50:30what you've been looking for

50:32every time. And while we were at it we

50:34wanted to make sure it looked better too.

50:36I just love how clean these new viz

50:38cards are.

50:39Oh I like this one right here. This is

50:41Donald. We also updated the estate to viz

50:43home to be a more comfortable place to

50:45deep dive into viz.

50:47We wanted to continue living up to our

50:48belief that the best place on the

50:50internet

50:51to view a viz is the tableau public site.

50:54Right.

50:54It's so clean. But we all knew what would

50:57happen when we wanted to pull back the

50:59curtain on some of the coolest vizs.

51:00Right. No more needing to download and

51:02open in desktop.

51:04We've now brought full web authoring and

51:06editing to public.

51:08Which we used yesterday on the screen.

51:10We did use it yesterday.

51:11Or make a copy of your favorite viz and

51:12iterate all on the web.

51:14This has been a huge help for Makeover

51:16Mondays.

51:17And soon we'll be supporting more

51:19connectors like Box,

51:20Dropbox and OneDrive which helps us take

51:23another step closer to reaching

51:24all of your data wherever it lives from

51:27public.

51:28We also refreshed the design for profile.

51:30Yeah this is good. We know this is where

51:31you show off your portfolio.

51:33So we wanted to make sure it reflects

51:34your best work cleanly. This is a playback

51:37of what we've seen already.

51:37And it's truly representative of the best

51:39you.

51:39Remember the people watching this might not

51:40be able to hear me.

51:41And now I'm happy to introduce the newest

51:43area of public.

51:44Discover. This is new. Discover is the

51:46place where the community can find

51:48something new or inspiring. Very good. A

51:50cool and up and coming

51:51creator. And easily keep up to date with

51:53what your network is working on.

51:54All in one place. Discover brings together

51:57the best of public. It's making it a

51:58destination not just

51:58somewhere to put stuff. As well as visits

52:00we know you'll love. Somewhere to go to.

52:01Tailored specifically to what you're

52:03interested in. The first channel is

52:05personalized just for you to explore. The

52:07For You channel will grow to be the best

52:09place to view personalized

52:10recommendations on public. And I'll go.

52:12Some of the content you'll see in this

52:14channel will be from creators you follow.

52:16And some of it will be from others in the

52:17community that you don't.

52:19But we think what you'll see will resonate

52:21based on you and your network's activity

52:23and your areas of interest. Below there.

52:26I think 22 is the year to invest in the

52:28public profile.

52:28The channels you'll see are curated topical

52:29channels.

52:29Yeah I haven't done so already.

52:29That we're constantly updating. We want to

52:32make sure you're seeing interesting visits

52:34every time you visit Discover. Each visit

52:36is a completely new experience.

52:38Even more exciting soon you'll be able to

52:41create your own channels on public.

52:42So you can organize your inspiration and

52:44interests on the fly.

52:45You want to create a music channel? It's

52:47easy.

52:48Have a set of examples you want to share

52:49with clients? Just create a channel.

52:51It's public personalized.

52:53That's a very slack way of thinking.

52:55A public team has made strides in every

52:57area of public.

52:59And we're really excited to share what we

53:01have planned next with the world.

53:02These are solid.

53:04From where you'll find business that

53:05inspire you to your experience actually

53:07creating your own.

53:08It's finally a way of not having to create

53:09an account just to put business.

53:11We're building towards a bright future that

53:13is the destination for public data

53:15storytelling.

53:16All of this and more coming soon to Tableau

53:19Public.

53:20So good.

53:21Back to you Andrew.

53:22That was very good. I love that. I love

53:26that.

53:28Dev team you did it again. Thank you for

53:31all your hard work on these amazing new

53:34features.

53:34I can't wait to hear what our data

53:36community thinks.

53:38If you'd like to chat with our dev team

53:40some more, head over to Twitter later today

53:43where they're available to answer questions

53:45that you might have.

53:46Until then we've got some great sessions

53:49lined up and don't miss seven time Grammy

53:52award winner Beck.

53:53Have a great rest of your day and enjoy TC

53:5721.

53:57[Music]

54:08Let's turn down the stream and have a quick

54:10chat about what we've just seen.

54:11Very good. 85% of it was stuff that's

54:15already out there but I think the nuggets.

54:18I didn't think it was. That's high. 85% is

54:21high.

54:22That's what Francois said.

54:25He said 25% of stuff will be not paid for.

54:28Oh okay. Did I misread the stuff?

54:33Okay.

54:34This is like most of this was new stuff.

54:38I don't think it was. Half of it was new I

54:41think.

54:42I think this is always the way with devs on

54:44the stage.

54:44Yeah.

54:45The recap of what's coming on with the next

54:49two quarters that you may have seen in the

54:51betas.

54:51I mean you do videos on this so I feel like

54:54in your head

54:55this is like oh this is old.

54:56I live in the new stuff right.

54:58Exactly.

55:00Yeah 85% is on the base product and not

55:05paid for.

55:06I think that's important. That's a really

55:08important thing because

55:09you have this in game development where

55:12people complain about what's in the

55:13expansion

55:14and what's a DLC. People have this friction

55:17and I think you always have it.

55:18Highlight features. Let's talk.

55:24Obviously we got to start with the complex

55:27viz types right.

55:28Yeah.

55:28That's going to be a massive.

55:30That was a correct thing to headline with.

55:32This is a big thing that you can unpack

55:35because there's so much you can do with

55:36that moving

55:37forward.

55:37So I really hope that two things happen.

55:40The documentation for how to create those

55:42is good.

55:44I also don't want it to be hard for someone

55:47to do that.

55:48I don't want it to be only people who know

55:51how to develop code

55:52to be the only one to come up with these

55:54extensions because sometimes artistic flair

55:56and developer skillset don't come hand in

56:01hand.

56:02So I'd really love this template whatever

56:04you build to be as easy to use as doing it

56:07in Figma coming up with like an SVG or

56:10something and then using that in the

56:12extension gallery

56:12to create a new chart type right.

56:14Yeah.

56:14And even publish a viz up to public and

56:18then in public it tells you what extension

56:21you've

56:21used to create that chart type and then you

56:23can go grab it and add it to your viz.

56:24Right.

56:27Exactly.

56:28Exactly.

56:28But I think alongside it was that one.

56:30Obviously the enhancers explained there too

56:33super useful.

56:34I think the education around that is going

56:36to be great.

56:37Workbook orientation, the optimization.

56:43Yeah.

56:44Workbook optimization.

56:45Yeah.

56:45The optimizer is a great addition and that

56:47's just ready to go right.

56:49Once that launches that's done.

56:51There's nothing to do that further apart

56:53from again like you said getting a bit more

56:55understanding

56:56of the metadata.

56:56Being able to run that one time on

56:59everything in a specific site or project

57:02would be really

57:02useful as well.

57:04Just so you can get some sort of team-based

57:07feedback.

57:07Okay this team that builds this viz has a

57:10couple of workbooks that could cause issues

57:12right.

57:12Exactly.

57:14And I think moving forward as well the so

57:16much of this you can pull back to the

57:20exchange

57:20as well.

57:20Yeah.

57:21Exactly.

57:21Like the viz extensions, the data sources.

57:25If you think about prep on public could you

57:27do something where it becomes like the

57:30exchange

57:31will then become that host home page for

57:33data sets as well.

57:35Data sets, data types.

57:38And suddenly like between Tableau Public

57:41and the exchange you've got this amazing

57:43rich

57:45resource of just learning.

57:46Yeah.

57:47And for me Tableau Public is purely about

57:49that learning and education piece.

57:51Like the portfolio stuff is great but what

57:54public is to me is the best place to go and

57:57learn, be inspired, to discover, to

58:00collaborate.

58:00And these two things really excite me

58:04because of that.

58:05Yeah exactly.

58:06I think Alex is talking about no

58:08improvements to formatting, padding, fonts,

58:12filters.

58:14Alex like I said in the previous stream I

58:16think those won't come until web altering

58:19is sort of fully capable of doing

58:21everything in desktop because I think to

58:23have to build

58:24that capability twice is probably one of

58:26the good reasons why that's not sort of

58:29getting.

58:29If you look at even dashboarding, dash

58:31boarding was getting improvements

58:32consistently and

58:33then it suddenly stopped.

58:34And again to me that feels like it stopped

58:36for a reason.

58:37There's another focus area so I hope that's

58:39the reason why.

58:41There's a great chat going on in the chat.

58:45In the chat you can see it on screen as

58:47well.

58:47About web altering right and I think web

58:49altering is something that I use and abuse

58:51these days.

58:51Right.

58:52The amount of times I'll fire up a web

58:54altering session, quickly check something

58:55and then

58:55close it.

58:56Yeah.

58:57The ability to just do a throwaway viz on

58:59our internal server is so useful.

59:02Exactly.

59:02And I think I'd echo the ipad's web

59:05altering element.

59:07Right.

59:07I think it would be useful, I can see, I

59:09think you used to use your

59:11the web altering element on your tableau.

59:13Tableau had a technology called Visible.

59:15I think it's still on the app store if you

59:16have an old copy of it.

59:19If you go into your purchases and download

59:20it.

59:20So Tableau Visible was this approach to

59:23doing vises on touch devices.

59:26And I really hoped to have seen that

59:28innovation in web editing on something like

59:30mobile devices.

59:31And so yeah if that could come back in some

59:34way or form that would be great.

59:36Would you think that would be exist in like

59:38a throwaway viz sort of way?

59:40Like I'm sitting there, I've got a question

59:42come in.

59:42I open up and I want to just be able to do

59:45the three things.

59:46It's not to build a dashboard, it's just

59:47like I just want to dissect this data a

59:49little bit with touch.

59:51Right.

59:51So yeah.

59:52And again it's coming back to what I think

59:54we've both said Tableau is the best at.

59:55Which is why it's like the cut above the

59:57tools that we use and we love.

59:58Is because it's this great data exploration

60:01tool.

60:02And it allows you to think quickly, get an

60:05answer and move together.

60:06And the formatting and the beautification

60:09comes up secondary to that just well I need

60:11the answer.

60:12And then I can move on to help ask and

60:14answer better questions.

60:15Yeah.

60:16The other thing is curation.

60:17I think we've got a post here essentially

60:20talking about people are going to make sort

60:22of really complex chart types.

60:24And I actually would like Tableau to play a

60:26pretty educative role in curating these

60:30charts.

60:30So let's not have 50 flower charts

60:33extensions in the gallery.

60:36Let's just have maybe a few but really sort

60:37of critique them to make sure they're doing

60:39different things.

60:40I think you know we talked a bit about

60:42Apple and the App Store right.

60:44Let's have genuine value because otherwise

60:46it ends up looking like the Power BI

60:48extension store.

60:50Where there's just like a hundred Gantt

60:51chart extensions.

60:52A hundred types of extensions.

60:54Which one's the most updated one and all of

60:56that stuff.

60:57So yeah.

60:58And again if Tableau is cute about this you

61:01've almost got this great point to educate

61:03people on where they should and shouldn't

61:05use.

61:05And this types like because in order to get

61:08them you have to go to the exchange or the

61:10extensions gallery.

61:12Therefore before you download them you have

61:13to go through this like tutorial be like

61:15well this is what this chart type is.

61:16Exactly.

61:17Here's how to use it.

61:18Exactly.

61:18Here's where it fits within you know that

61:20that graphic everyone seems to have on

61:21there.

61:22Yeah.

61:22Office wall.

61:23Yeah.

61:23The distribution time series.

61:26That thing it's like this is where it sits

61:28on that and like you've got this ability to

61:30educate people.

61:31Yeah.

61:32As they're building.

61:33Yeah.

61:33And it's not a barrier.

61:35Yeah.

61:35But it is.

61:36And it's not a barrier because it's

61:37education.

61:38And we kind of have that kind of have that

61:40with the marks pane.

61:41Marks pane and the columns and rows kind of

61:43get you into that really structured way of

61:45thinking right.

61:46And it's are people going to connect those

61:49visits to the right parts of those things

61:51in a healthy way right.

61:52Yeah.

61:53A flower chart needs color, shape, size but

61:55doesn't need all the others right.

61:57And so just making those things sure those

61:59things are restricted is important.

62:01Because when you're when you're designing

62:02those extensions you're going to have to

62:04understand.

62:05What you want your user to put where.

62:08Yeah.

62:08And educate them on that.

62:09Exactly.

62:10And then also tell them when you open up

62:12this right hand pane this is what you tweak

62:14like

62:14this this this can get very complicated

62:17very quickly.

62:18Yeah very very quickly.

62:20But that's why it's exciting just like drop

62:22this and just be like oh and as Jonathan's

62:24saying here

62:24Sherlock the extensions and the ones that

62:27are most popular most used and easiest.

62:29Yeah.

62:30Bring them into the product as native.

62:32Yeah.

62:32And my opinion the biggest one is KPI is a

62:34mark type.

62:35Yeah exactly exactly.

62:37Oh gosh how many times do we up and down

62:39indicators bands right next to them with a

62:42piece of text underneath.

62:43Just make that an extension.

62:44Make that make that a mark type right where

62:46you bring in your time series.

62:48You bring in your text yeah.

62:50You bring in your text and you're saying

62:51compare this period to this period.

62:53Yeah.

62:53And you select what you want to compare.

62:55Yeah.

62:55And boom like this is it's.

62:57Make the up and down a boolean that's it

62:59right.

63:00It can't be a boolean because obviously you

63:02have no change but you get the idea.

63:04Exactly.

63:06So good so good.

63:07So what else there's the spatial stuff.

63:09The spatial stuff is always interesting

63:10because I always feel like unless you work

63:12with spatial data

63:13like day in day out you can't really truly

63:16appreciate how big some of these things are

63:18.

63:18And I feel like spatial has been the part

63:20of Tableau that has just been cooking on

63:22diesel

63:23for a long time and now I'd be really

63:25interested to talk to someone who works on

63:27mapping daily

63:28and just ask them how much of your workflow

63:30have you brought into Tableau versus what

63:32you used to

63:33have to do in other other tools like ArcGIS

63:35and so on.

63:36So yeah.

63:38Yeah.

63:38It's funny that inflection point like it's

63:40there is a breaking point with the user

63:42where they get

63:43frustrated with Excel because it's not

63:45doing what they want to then go into

63:46something like

63:47Power BI or Tableau prep builder or and

63:50then eventually like you know the Tableau

63:53the Alteryx the further further side of

63:55things.

63:56Yeah.

63:56And there is that breaking point but

63:57understanding that breaking point for

63:58mapping is like

63:59you need to understand what they do.

64:02Yeah.

64:02And this is why like great people like

64:03Sarah Battersby are able to like say well

64:05no no

64:06this is what geographies are looking at and

64:08bringing that to life.

64:09Yeah.

64:10But for me and you the generic user it's

64:13mainly a it's killing the pain points.

64:15Exactly.

64:16What these features do.

64:17Just going back to the extensions actually

64:19a really interesting question like

64:21how does Tableau a decide how to count old

64:25ones and b the other question is how do you

64:28decide the

64:28pricing methods.

64:29All right.

64:30I'm assuming these things aren't all going

64:31to be free.

64:31If they're free great I'd love that to be

64:33the philosophy for all extensions and chart

64:35types

64:35but I doubt that's going to happen right.

64:37Yeah.

64:37And we already have extensions today that

64:39are charged.

64:40So I also would like Tableau to set you

64:42know like a bit like the App Store some

64:44recommended

64:44prices so if we're not people aren't

64:46getting fleeced for various standard chart

64:48types.

64:49Otherwise you know there's this whole sort

64:50of flip of the Tableau economy starts to

64:52become

64:52a little bit salty.

64:53It becomes the game sort of pricing of the

64:58Tableau.

64:59It's free with in-app purchases.

65:01Not even that it's just not even the in-app

65:05purchases it's the sort of oh I need this

65:08chart type to do this so you go in and you

65:10spend two dollars straight away because you

65:11just want this chart type you drop it in

65:13and you're like ah it didn't really it

65:15doesn't

65:15look as good with my data you know it's you

65:17want to stop that sort of thing so being

65:19able

65:20to try it even would be good.

65:21Yeah exactly that.

65:24Cool.

65:24What else do we know?

65:27Go on.

65:27There's a comment here about mapping so I

65:30've worked with ArcGIS folks and presented a

65:33small

65:33mapping conference.

65:34They've always been highly resistant to

65:36Tableau but in recent years they have at

65:38least started

65:38paying attention.

65:39Great and that's sort of the movement you

65:41want right?

65:43Exactly and I think the it's the simple

65:45stuff that Tableau makes easy.

65:47I remember speaking four or five years ago

65:50to someone from the football analytics

65:51community

65:52and he was like yeah I use Tableau just to

65:55like explore and throw things together and

65:58then I go then I leave it and I go into R

66:00and build my ggplot or my app.

66:02Right right right but it's always been that

66:04it's always been an exploration tool right

66:06and that's the funny thing I think people

66:07say that as if that's not allowed

66:09absolutely

66:09it's allowed do it 100 percent.

66:11So let me kill this.

66:15Craig's got a subscription model.

66:18Subscribe to the exchange for unlimited use

66:22.

66:22I think this is what enterprises will want

66:24a single price to access everything

66:26especially

66:28for on-prem and then you get a bit of

66:30everything but yeah subscribe to the

66:32exchange for unlimited

66:33use and give authors a cut if the extension

66:35is used yeah 100 percent that also solves

66:38the curation problem because only the good

66:40extensions will sort of stay competitive

66:42right

66:42but yeah it's a really interesting one it's

66:45so exciting.

66:46Like the exchange was a thing that I was

66:50just like man it blew my mind so much you

66:53can do it

66:54blew my mind it's creating this entire

66:57marketplace economy learning center yeah

67:01place for you to

67:02start and be like you know what we're okay

67:05with you guys taking control of our product

67:07and showing us where you want it to go yeah

67:10right like it doesn't have to be devs on

67:12the

67:12stage where we're telling you what's coming

67:14next but it's also moving forward into what

67:17are we gonna what what do you want from the

67:20but it's also taking Tableau to build up

67:22the

67:22developer community you couldn't have done

67:24this three years ago right because first

67:26you had to

67:26build up the developer community with some

67:28sort of essentially smaller projects

67:30extensions first

67:31then connectors and now you've got this and

67:33I think maybe that's been the play all

67:34along right

67:35let's start small train up the people who

67:37are going to build this stuff and then yeah

67:39yeah

67:41server stuff let's talk about the server

67:45yeah so there's a bit of security gone

67:49there's

67:49virtualized connections row level security

67:52contain I can't remember the exact name of

67:55the feature

67:55yeah yeah kubernetes but specifically what

67:58she was doing was switching on and

68:00switching off

68:01pods within a container right and then the

68:04other capability yeah so what I want to do

68:08is split

68:08online and server let's just talk about the

68:11server focus features right I think a lot

68:14of the

68:14management capabilities are stuff that

68:16people really really sort of want

68:18especially people who

68:19handle server at scale and that scale I'm

68:21talking thousands of users going on daily

68:24using using the

68:25products and I think those are things that

68:27people have had to sort of control with the

68:30sort of

68:30various very crude methods potentially in

68:33the past and so now having this capability

68:36to give oversight

68:37is what people really want is a really good

68:40step exactly I think for I think the other

68:44thing to

68:45mention to anyone who's watching who doesn

68:47't know this but several are slightly

68:48changing their

68:49cadences yeah I don't know if there's been

68:52a public announcement on this I think there

68:55has

68:56yeah so it's going for on-premise server it

68:58's going to go to twice a year yeah every

69:00six months

69:00exactly which is really what how often like

69:04I'm an on-premise customer and that's how

69:06often I'll

69:07upgrade because yeah unless there's a

69:10desperate feature we need I don't really

69:12want to think

69:13about downtime yeah right I don't want to

69:15be like oh man when's there not a football

69:18game on or I

69:19can sort of sneak on from three hours and

69:22think if this breaks I can I can fix it or

69:24like there's

69:26a way around it whereas online will be

69:28getting the new features now the reason I

69:30like this is

69:31that gives a bit of more acid tests and

69:33also stability because the biggest thing is

69:36what most

69:37on-prem customers are the scared ones yes

69:40right like they want the most stable

69:42version they'll

69:43wait for the point one point two point even

69:46point three release before they upgrade but

69:48I think

69:49you're assuming that the skill sets that

69:51Tableau have to develop online are the

69:53exact same skill

69:54sets they use to develop on-prem versions

69:56of server and I think there is an there's

69:58an issue

69:58if you watch the session on the Tableau

70:01online architecture you start to understand

70:03that actually

70:04the back end at least very very different

70:06products same core product but they run in

70:08completely

70:08different ways because of the different

70:10platforms they're on so I think I'd be

70:12interested to see how

70:13that transition happens I think we just

70:14have to wait a year I was initially

70:16skeptical because my

70:17view is that hopefully you get patches

70:19every month still right so you'll have six

70:22patches of a version

70:23before the next update so what I'm worried

70:26is it will make companies even more

70:28resistant to change

70:29because who wants to go to the point one

70:32two or three of the new version when you're

70:35on the point

70:35six of the current version so you just end

70:38up with this sort of even slower cadence

70:40where you'll miss

70:41an upgrade because it doesn't quite fall

70:43right on the sweet spot for you as an

70:45organization

70:46I still doubt that because I just don't

70:49think most organizations pay attention to

70:52new releases

70:53like if you think they do it when they get

70:55to it every day right you think about

70:57probably you don't

70:57use every day and you're getting the email

70:59being like we've got a new version it's

71:01like great I just

71:02ignore me like I've got I use a database

71:05explorer tool called dbeaver yeah every

71:08time there's an

71:08upgrade I'm like oh I can't afford to

71:10upgrade I'll do it in like three versions

71:12time when it's

71:13right a couple of times right but I would

71:15just ignore it because the reason I opened

71:17the

71:17application is to do some work yeah exactly

71:19but do you not think that that's actually

71:21maybe Tableau

71:21should make that bit easier Tableau should

71:23make it easier for you to do upgrades and

71:25so I mean

71:25that has gotten easier over times right um

71:28but it's got so fast let's not let's not

71:29make two bones

71:30about it yeah it's so much faster it's a

71:33lot faster yeah but so what should you

71:35improve the

71:36upgrade process so it doesn't feel like

71:38that burden you just talked about or slow

71:41it down

71:42to every six months this is this is sort of

71:44the argument I sort of I can't I can't

71:46decide which

71:46side of the wall I've uh I sort of fallen

71:48at the end of the day someone's not going

71:50to get a

71:51feature they need that could potentially

71:52change their workflow and it also perpet

71:54uates the idea

71:55that Tableau Online is the best version of

71:57Tableau right yeah yeah yeah no and I think

71:59Tableau Online

72:01is like that right now it is because you've

72:03seen you've seen today so many of the

72:06features are

72:06going to be online first yeah which is

72:09which is fine yeah because it's still it's

72:11still the

72:12it makes sense yeah um I think for the

72:14upgrade process there's I've seen little

72:17hints sprinkling

72:18here and there where you're going to be

72:21able to upgrade different processes right

72:24and the low key

72:26process will upgrade themselves until you

72:28have to do the application server yeah and

72:30then you have

72:30to take it down to turn it back on again

72:32because the application server the data

72:34server the

72:34background that have to be done on their

72:37own yeah yeah I'd love to see the

72:39investment that goes into

72:40online doing hot upgrades come to prime

72:43because online doesn't go down for upgrades

72:45it just

72:46happens right so it's possible obviously

72:48maybe the infrastructure allows for it on

72:50AWS but

72:50um yeah exactly yeah Jesse's saying here

72:54you know there are there are lots of moving

72:56parts in

72:57organizations as well you can't just look

72:58at Tableau in isolation there are lots of

73:00things

73:00that connect to it things like drivers

73:02updates to security software as well that

73:05have to be considered

73:06and you have to practice these things as

73:08well so you kind of have to do the upgrade

73:10twice you

73:10can't just do it and assume everything's

73:12going to be okay and the amount of people

73:14who do do that

73:14though always interesting um so yeah

73:17earlier in the comments I think Omar made

73:21the point of

73:22JSON databases right it's a non-structured

73:25data sources yeah I think I think this is

73:28growing as

73:29well like passing JSONs into field like the

73:30amount of times I'm just like I don't know

73:32how to flatten

73:33this JSON like I need to flat there there

73:35is a there is a bit of work going into this

73:38I can't

73:38say too much but the the thing about this

73:40is that shouldn't you connect to a database

73:42that handles

73:43it natively right or are you talking about

73:45um because Tableau can already connect to

73:48JSON file

73:49types what we're really talking about here

73:51is yeah what we're really talking about

73:54here I think is

73:55data directly from APIs I think is what's

73:57really required here because databases that

74:00can handle

74:00non-structured data can handle it so Snow

74:02flake is a good example just does it right

74:04so um Omar

74:06be interesting to know specifically um sort

74:09of the detail on what you're saying there

74:11yeah

74:12yeah exactly that um what else would you

74:14say what else I mean the public broadcast

74:17yeah broadcast right so it's not against

74:21the camp because it's for online that's why

74:23it's

74:24not the guest account so the broadcast for

74:27me was like oh yes finally we've got this

74:30dashboard

74:31that I'd love to put an embed into our

74:33SharePoint but because we're per user

74:35licensing we can't

74:36right because that means everyone needs to

74:38have a license in order to see it right um

74:41so yeah I was

74:43fine like in broadcast finally this is and

74:45like a few others that we put on big

74:46screens around

74:47the training complex yeah yeah for players

74:49to walk past and see their performance and

74:51if a sports scientist look at who's who's

74:53cooked and undercooked or why you're good

74:55so I'm just like this is great and then it

74:58's like broad lines like oh

74:59yeah it's a tough one isn't it but you know

75:05again I do think more companies just don't

75:09want the

75:09hassle of on-prem right um if you think of

75:11medium businesses medium-sized businesses

75:14you go to

75:15I work for a charity at the moment and you

75:17know this it's an organization of 50 people

75:19and they're

75:20their expertise is being a charity it's not

75:23managing a system so everything they use um

75:26they pretty much outsource the it support

75:28for so for them online is the perfect

75:30answer and they can

75:32sort of go to hand with that all the sort

75:33of nuances of managing it they're not at

75:35the scale

75:36yet where they need that um yeah would be

75:37interesting to get sort of yearly updates

75:40on

75:40uh how many people are switching right and

75:42I think Tableau is slowly trying to answer

75:45those questions

75:46uh so that more people do come to online uh

75:49we're starting to see a bit more I think

75:51generally in the market um I think there'll

75:53always be organizations like banks you know

75:56highly secure environments highly sort of

75:58specialized organizations that will always

76:00stay on-prem but I'd be interested to see

76:03the people who sit in that sort of um

76:05what's the word um normal distribution what

76:10's the what's the what's the cut off where

76:12actually

76:13all these people could be online if we just

76:15had the right features yeah yeah exactly um

76:18Steve makes

76:19a good point here like it doesn't make it

76:21fully public or do you have a reliable

76:22security built

76:23I think the assumption is my assumption was

76:26it's going to be is it's just going to be

76:29the vis

76:30exposed yeah if it's a packaged work

76:32because again it's just a package workbook

76:35if it's got an

76:36embedded extract with the password embedded

76:40it will be the same as if you were a user

76:42that was viewing

76:44as a viewer if that makes sense who has

76:46access that's the way I'm imagining the

76:48permission

76:49structure to work I'd love to see an

76:50approval process for that as well I know it

76:52since it

76:53looks really easy like just switch it on

76:55boom but I'd love that to have like two

76:57people in the

76:58process so that someone switches it on

77:00someone else has to go in and do that

77:01because you don't

77:02want to accidentally sort of make a data

77:05that shouldn't be public public right so

77:07having that

77:07sort of failsafe makes it a really nice

77:10sort of bulletproof feature as well

77:13interesting uh public

77:15public we had tons of stuff in public um a

77:17lot of this is is live so if you haven't

77:19done so already

77:20go to public and check it out um we did a

77:22bit of this yesterday I won't do it again

77:24today

77:24um we found out that I hadn't logged in to

77:26have a public in a while

77:29I could tim struggle to find the make a

77:31copy um yeah I think we talked about this

77:34just straight

77:35afterwards just how excited we were to see

77:37the improvements to public and how that's

77:39going to

77:39sit really nicely with exchange exactly now

77:42the ideal place for public to land is this

77:46instagram-esque feel social feed right

77:50where you kind of have it already with

77:53these little squares

77:54don't you right and you're getting there

77:56with the algorithm right like if you think

77:58about like this

77:59the discover area and it's got that for you

78:01to explore that's already there yeah yeah

78:04imagine

78:05if tablet public had a mobile app for you

78:07to explore this while you're casually

78:09scrolling

78:10it pushes people to use mobile it does all

78:13these great things um the wrong thing there

78:15it wants me to subscribe to visit the day I

78:17don't want to do that I'll just go check it

78:18out and start

78:19so yeah you can dig into these things and

78:22the algorithm will help support all of

78:26these

78:26these elements as well now um there was

78:29another comment way back just looking at

78:32the um at teen

78:33at teeny's elisa's iron bits right about

78:37imagine if lines were slightly curvier like

78:40you know how

78:41you in this is a good example this is like

78:43in altrix where you have uh auto

78:45perpendicular

78:46bazier or straight lines exactly so for

78:50example on the top left line chart or even

78:53the top left one

78:54you've got this really hard corner so many

78:57times i've just thought like just visually

79:00can i smooth

79:00it like yeah you might lose the precision

79:03yeah but i think tableau's always been

79:05about representing

79:07the the truth if that makes sense because

79:09if you if you start curving that what are

79:11you saying about

79:12the data right like it's it's such a sort

79:15of a weird discussion to have i'm not not

79:18well skilled

79:19enough to have it either but you get my

79:20point right like if you start to curve it

79:22does it

79:22communicate that this line is um doesn't

79:25have discrete items here on the bottom but

79:27is in fact

79:28a continuous axis right like different

79:30things can happen and you do kind of have

79:32that here where it

79:33is a continuous axis so it does make sense

79:35for this to to do that so i would agree

79:37with you if

79:37you had a continuous axis but then you have

79:40discrete it's great yeah it's a little bit

79:42fishy

79:43right yeah it's good fun though it's good

79:47fun i love the changes to public i love

79:49that this is

79:50becoming a destination i love that they are

79:52putting lots of effort into um even just

79:55simple things of

79:56being able to if i go to my profile here i

79:59can just um just create a viz like i don't

80:02need to

80:02be able to um you know have have tableau

80:05installed uh upload my data set i'm looking

80:07forward to the

80:08connectors that pop up here once the

80:10exchange starts to go live exactly yeah

80:12when the exchange

80:13that goes live this page here should become

80:17filled with strava instagram twitter the

80:19stuff

80:20that we've all want to connect to just to

80:22visualize quantified self data already here

80:24right that's

80:25that's that's a single biggest win i think

80:27for public let people look at their own

80:29data

80:29um and then from there people will start to

80:31understand the stories they want to tell

80:33and build out other things but also see

80:35tableau hosts and data sets i'd love to see

80:38like snowflake

80:39do uh tableau host we add data from the cov

80:41id 19 data hub uh put that data in here so

80:44other people

80:45can come in here and build their own public

80:47visits based on the same data tell

80:48different stories

80:50and highlight different sort of aspects of

80:52the of the ecosystem as well i think so so

80:55my biggest

80:56desire the next big frontier for creating

81:00stuff in tableau is google sheets esque

81:05enter your own

81:07data into public and build in the browser

81:10like but then you're talking about database

81:13so that that's a database product you have

81:15to put the data somewhere right

81:19sure sure but the ability to create an

81:21extra and the web already exists right the

81:23ability to copy

81:25and paste data in tableau already exists so

81:28therefore if you i'm on wikipedia i'm like

81:31hey

81:31this is some interesting data let me copy

81:33and paste it into tableau public build a

81:35viz and then

81:35throw it away what you mean what you mean

81:38is an extension that creates a hyper based

81:40on the web

81:41page you're looking at rather than the

81:43ability to input data because what you're

81:44really talking

81:45about because when you enter data there's

81:47sort of this whole semantic thing where it

81:49has to go

81:50somewhere once it goes somewhere that is

81:52now a database there's sort of that small

81:54step whereas

81:55if you create an extract from a hyper file

81:58from a web page the web page remains a data

82:00set and now

82:01the data is just sort of made portable for

82:04tableau's own sake yeah but yeah good stuff

82:09so that was

82:09pretty much the whole thing right um we had

82:12uh desktop features we had server features

82:14and explain

82:15data and our data in the flow yeah already

82:19there yeah i think it was really good i

82:21enjoyed it i

82:23enjoyed it i have to say i think it's

82:24different to being in person right and i

82:26think there's there's

82:27a slight switch this year where i think i

82:29think in the past we've always seen more

82:31features

82:32and this time round we've seen a lot more

82:35of what we'd seen before but i think that's

82:38also partly

82:39because there's a lot cooking for next year

82:41we sort of saw things in the keynote that

82:43we didn't

82:43see here on devs on stage right so that's

82:45also an interesting sort of balance they

82:48had to split

82:49sort of what they were showing where we

82:50didn't see flows here all that stuff would

82:52have been

82:53just as useful for him so i was surprised

82:55we didn't see some of those gaps getting

82:57filled

82:57um yeah yeah i guess i guess on occasion

83:00they've sort of doubled like dug into some

83:03features yeah

83:04exactly exactly exactly i was hoping to see

83:07more of that yeah i think it depends like

83:09you've seen

83:10it in some years where you get it others

83:13you don't yeah so i'm i'm not too fast on

83:17on that

83:17side of things yeah um yeah i like this

83:20comment about um making public leads with

83:22charge on

83:23on on viz collaboration um this goes back

83:26to the idea of not thinking about it as

83:28files but as

83:29sort of just just just objects and let

83:32people edit different parts of the same

83:35thing because

83:36because all tableau desktop is is an xml

83:39creator i think it was probably steve works

83:42ler

83:42what it does is it writes xml therefore um

83:48what what we really wanted to do is be able

83:51to have

83:51two people write xml at the same time yeah

83:54there is some stuff that is not in the xml

83:56and i've

83:56always wondered where is that it must be in

83:59the app binary that's the only thing i can

84:02think of

84:02in the file binary that's where they're

84:03putting this stuff because they're i've

84:05looked for certain

84:06things in xml and i have not been able to

84:08find it it's there in the dashboard you can

84:10even do a diff

84:11between the two xml documents you can see

84:13the section of the code that changed yeah

84:15but it's

84:16just not um available to you i like the

84:18idea i think that the the great thing about

84:21public is

84:22it's a great place to acid test yeah yeah

84:25right like you get so much focused

84:28seeing what people are doing with features

84:32yeah yeah so for example i guarantee that

84:36it wasn't

84:36until set actions with mark reed and lind

84:40sey poulter writing their blog posts yeah

84:43about set

84:45actions that you saw set usage take like

84:48take a massive spike and you probably see

84:51that on tableau

84:52public right right yeah the amount of set

84:55pre-set actions and post-set actions yeah

84:57probably went

84:58from like three to three hundred yeah

85:00exactly yeah that level i'd love to plot

85:02that on a chart

85:03lindsey and mark show the world how to do

85:05it properly boom

85:06oh good stuff um as shawn says all that

85:13stuff you mentioned is hiding it's hiding

85:17uh interesting so ominous i love it i love

85:21it nice to see you here t shawn um very

85:24good

85:24right we've been going for uh an hour and a

85:27half again um it's funny how the events

85:30like 30 minutes

85:31but because we start early and we end up

85:32going for quite long um it's been really

85:34really fun

85:35exactly this is the last of the three right

85:37yeah it is the last of the three it's

85:39amazing last year

85:40we did one and two did we do two we did the

85:43keynote and dev yeah and i was in obs with

85:46you on zoom and

85:47that was awful that was awful this time we

85:49we struggled with the keynote but we got

85:51there in

85:52the end and now uh today i think i think it

85:55went much better next year we'll have

85:57visual effects

85:59that's that's the next step and we should

86:01do a podcast around the corner exactly

86:03exactly we

86:04should have devs on stage i and viz all

86:06this all the things you're used to seeing

86:08but hopefully

86:09we can do a conference in person as well

86:10next year i think hopefully next year that

86:12will be the first

86:13in probably two three years um since 2019

86:16conference so um is it 2019 no 2020 was the

86:19last conference no 2020 was 2019 oh this

86:24one yeah yeah yeah yeah good one good one i

86:28completely

86:28forgot about that we won uh we won an award

86:30at the dev data dev event it came third it

86:33was good fun

86:34anyway we're gonna end this stream pretty

86:36soon um thanks for watching everyone i

86:39really enjoyed it

86:39there's so many comments we haven't even

86:41had a chance to go through all of these i

86:43know lots of

86:43tableau uh staff have been watching this as

86:45well so hopefully we've kept you

86:47entertained because

86:48of course you probably know what was in the

86:50keynote already so this has been your sort

86:52of

86:52spiritual home during the event to find out

86:54what we really think so thank you for

86:56tuning in uh

86:57hopefully we'll do this again next year and

86:59we'd love to connect with all of you as
