See related metrics: New inTableau 2021.1

0:00Hey it's Tim here, in today's video I'm

0:01showing you a new feature in 2020.1 which

0:04shows you related

0:05metrics for visualization. Okay let me show

0:07you how that works. Again the first thing

0:09we're going

0:09to do is just go to this first

0:10visualization here, it's already set up for

0:13this example,

0:13and we're going to go to this forecast tab

0:15here on the bottom. Okay once this loads up

0:18you can see

0:19that this is our visualization and what you

0:21need to be able to see is this option here

0:23that says

0:24metrics. If I just grab my annotation here

0:26you can see there's this option for metrics

0:28and when

0:28you click on that you actually get the

0:30metrics pane appear on the right hand side

0:32and the new

0:33feature in 2020.1 is that it now

0:36automatically shows you metrics that have

0:38already been created

0:39for from this visualization. Okay so let's

0:42create a couple more one for each one for

0:44corporate and

0:44one for home office then you'll see them

0:46appear here on the list on the right hand

0:48side. We're

0:48actually also in the right place to create

0:50one so what I need to do is to click on a

0:51metric here on

0:52the left hand side and then once I've done

0:54that click create and what it will do is it

0:56'll look at

0:56that metric and it will look at the sort of

0:58time series information that's available

1:00here and it

1:01will create a value so 46,970 here is

1:04actually this number here at the very end

1:07so 46,975

1:08is basically just watching this line over

1:10time and this line here in the

1:12visualization

1:13matches essentially this trend over here. I

1:15can give it a name but I'm just going to

1:16leave it as

1:17is and then the create button is just

1:19behind my face here so if I just hit create

1:22you'll see that

1:23this metric gets created and I'll leave my

1:24face here in the middle of the screen

1:26whilst we create

1:27a couple more metrics so let's go ahead

1:29back to metrics click on this bottom line

1:32here now you'll

1:32see we have to go ahead create once more

1:35create another one hit create and every

1:37time you create

1:38one you get this sort of notification here

1:40on the top of the screen this is called a

1:42toast in

1:42web design and it essentially tells you

1:44that this has been successful and

1:46everything's been created

1:47and obviously once you're done you can now

1:49can I move myself back to where I normally

1:51am

1:52and I can just close these if I want to now

1:54just disregard them as notifications

1:56essentially

1:57now if we click metrics you'll see now we

1:59've got three things that are related to

2:01this

2:02so this is nice because if you're in a

2:03visualization that's used by a lot of

2:05people

2:06and people are starting to create metrics

2:07from them then you can obviously go in here

2:09and start

2:09to see how that works it's a really really

2:11nice quality of life improvement to have in

2:14the product

2:14now there is one small detail worth

2:16covering up here and that is to do with the

2:18license type now

2:19previously only users that were creators

2:21and explorers who can publish actually had

2:23the

2:23ability to see metrics at all but in this

2:25particular view anyone who has any site

2:28role

2:28can actually see these metrics so it's a

2:30small sort of detail let me just go ahead

2:32to the tablet

2:33documentation and show you where it says

2:35this if you go on here to see where it says

2:36see connected

2:37metrics in the view you'll see here that it

2:39says when you open metrics pane you will

2:40see the metrics

2:41blah blah blah users with any site role can

2:44see connected metrics that's a really nice

2:46thing which

2:47means viewers now have the ability to get a

2:49look into some of the benefits that

2:51previously only

2:52creators and explorers had access to okay

2:54so that's pretty much it for this feature

2:56there's

2:56not much more to it um if you've enjoyed
