Tableau 2025.3 Release: What's New in Pulse, Desktop, Public and more.

0:00Would you look at that?

0:0125-3 is coming soon.

0:03We're here to cover it.

0:05Let's get stuck here.

0:06Okay, so right out of the gate

0:07I think this is a really exciting release.

0:09There's just lots of small things in here that are just going to be continuous uh quality of life improvements.

0:15Custom domains for Tableau Cloud.

0:18We've got prep in database processing, prep right back to Databricks.

0:23The Viz extensions are getting improvements.

0:26There's color palette assignment for the workbook and also custom color palettes in the same release.

0:31Add to related data tables, Tableau Semantics Connector updates to connect to data sources in the Salesforce ecosystem and vice versa.

0:40Tableau MCP authentication support, Tableau MCP and Tableau Next.

0:46um Tableau Public author channels, uh Viz reactions in Tableau Public.

0:50There's just lots of small things everywhere in this release that I like.

0:53Oh that's nice.

0:54And um I don't know if I had low expectations for the rift.

0:57Maybe that's what it is actually.

0:59Um I I've got into this place of uh not expecting too much from the release.

1:04Um

1:04But nonetheless, um the release is here and I think there are some substantive things.

1:09I will say like I say in most releases this year, there's no big hitters, but they're all good updates if that makes sense.

1:15Now one thing I will note is um I've just accidentally clicked on this here is that um

1:19This list is sort of sorted in a different way.

1:21When you go to the page and you land on it, you'll get the 25.

1:243 element here, but at the top you'll also see September items.

1:28You see Tableau Pulse and Tableau Next launch features every single month.

1:32And so if you're not actually tracking these as a release, there is really no opportunity for them to tell you about them.

1:37So they've updated this page to show you the movement that is happening inside of the ecosystem.

1:43So we will briefly, very, very briefly, very briefly start with Tableau Pulse.

1:47There's just a sea of stuff that's happened in September going into October.

1:51So we have the Tableau Pulse and Tableau Agent are now uh geo-aware.

1:55So they

1:56they have some sort of context of location.

1:58Um let's look at this.

2:00Experience Vasamore Secure AI and Tableau.

2:02Now Pulse and Agent automatically connects the nearest LLM provider

2:06based on your data cloud region.

2:08So essentially just making sure that they send the request to the nearest um um let's say AI agent, uh literal physical location rather than just sending it to an American one, which was maybe happening before

2:20which might lead to a bad experience if you're located the other side of the planet.

2:24So that makes a little bit sense.

2:25Currently limited to one LLM.

2:28Tableau Pulse recommended metrics on mobile.

2:31And these are now recommendations are showing up on Tableau Mobile App.

2:35I haven't done anything on the Tableau Mobile app in a long, long time.

2:38We should just

2:39do a deep dive into that because I think it's pretty exciting.

2:42Tableau Pass correlated metrics insights so um get even deeper insights in Tableau Pass with a new insight type correlated metrics

2:51These help you find significant relationship between metrics by identifying key correlations.

2:56So that's uh quite a nice little touch.

2:59Um

2:59Improvements to team integration.

3:02So Teams integration even.

3:03So this is Microsoft Teams getting this deep ability inside of Microsoft Teams.

3:07And you know, Salesforce have done a really good job actually promising

3:10equivalence between uh Slack and Teams.

3:12They realize that most enterprises are on Microsoft Teams.

3:15So whatever they have to do uh with Slack, they're doing it inside of Teams.

3:19And what they have done is struck a partnership with Microsoft to actually enable this.

3:22So this isn't just sort of lip service, they've actually you know reach

3:25out over to the other side of the wall and said, Hey listen, Microsoft, you've got a ton of customers who use our products.

3:30If you want them to have a good experience inside of Teams, you probably want to be working on this.

3:34So this is probably a direct collaboration with the Microsoft

3:37teams team um the same level that they would interact with the slack team to kind of bring this capability and it means you get these nice little um you know

3:45really rich experiences inside of Teams, which you just don't get normally.

3:49Normally you just get an image and some text and and things might look broken.

3:52So that's that's again really nice.

3:54Um rolling time ranges.

3:56So you have rolling windows.

3:57So last seven days, last fourteen days, last thirty days.

4:00Um

4:00The day capability inside a tablet Pulse I think is just really nice.

4:03I really I really wish these were default filters inside a tablet desktop.

4:07The the the UX on these is just so much nicer than what we have in desktop.

4:12So again, you know, I'd love to see that come over, but it's probably not going to happen.

4:17Tableau pulse, see more data breakdown uh charts.

4:21So in Tableau Pulse you get these breakdowns

4:23Essentially you're going to see a lot more of these going on.

4:27So give a more complete picture of the drivers behind a metric or goal with a show more button on breakdown charts.

4:33See beyond the top seven contributors, uh essentially the show more option will go down to show you the full list.

4:38So that makes a lot of sense.

4:40Um tableau pass breakdown chart filtering enhancement, so you can change um the way that these are done, so get a more consistent experience on the metric detail breakdown.

4:48down charts with static ordering of dimension pills.

4:51So essentially I guess you can move these around.

4:53Order is now based on the adjustable metric filters set on the metric definitions that are changing based on data conditions to offer more predictable user experience.

5:03Tableau Pulse, new enhanced Q<unk>A entry points, so basically different ways to start asking questions.

5:09I have a few bones to pick with this experience.

5:10It's not as good as I think it should be.

5:12You can basically only ask

5:14specific questions that it's already trained on, but you can't really push it sort of over the edge and s get it to do combinations that it hasn't analyzed, which is sort of an interesting

5:23a problem.

5:23I'll do I'll do a separate video on this um just to sort of give some clarity on that.

5:27Tableau plus improved output text in enhanced Q<unk>A so basically this text is becoming better I just think they've just shoved a better LLM on top of this this is sort of the free stuff you get with

5:37improved large language models.

5:39Um you know the last time Tableau Pass was released, I think we were on like ChatGPT 3.

5:435 and something else.

5:45And now we're on ChatGPT 5 and we're on Claude Opus 4.

5:495.

5:49And so if you add all these capabilities up

5:52These are the kind of outputs you're just going to get.

5:54More verbose, nicer reading um statements.

5:56So, yeah, Tableau Mobile Snowflake authentication.

5:59So, this is the ability to uh authenticate Snowflake inside of Tableau Mobile, which is

6:04Pretty important, which is nice.

6:06Tableau Public spam moderation.

6:08So ooh, um help us keep Tableau Public a safe and trusted space by reporting suspicious profiles and flagging spam.

6:15That's kind of good

6:16I think I guess as they push the social features out, this is something that's gonna keep happening more.

6:21A tableau pass dynamic date offset, so um get the most accurate view of your data

6:26Over time, set your time series to reflect the most recent data available to ensure a complete picture even when today's data hasn't

6:33um been populated yet.

6:35So essentially setting the offset so um it's always looking at the correct data.

6:39A good example if your data only shows data up until yesterday Tableau Post would show you up until today

6:45uh and you would get sort of nulls in today's picture.

6:47And so this allows you to say, hey, only look up until the previous day and it will show you today as if it was yesterday or as if it was last week or as if it was last month if that's how your data works.

6:57So that's kind of a a really nice touch

6:59New Tableau Cloud Regions.

7:01This is just the extension really of Salesforce and Hyper Force.

7:05Essentially bringing more and more capability across the world.

7:09I believe Switzerland and India and South Korea is planned for

7:14um September.

7:15I believe these are also hyperforce regions that have been added.

7:17I've I noticed there's some correlation between Hyperforce and um Tableau Cloud regions now that the Salesforce is is looking after these.

7:25So yep

7:26Pretty good uh list of September updates.

7:28Now these are the 25-3 updates.

7:30So these are the updates that come with the 25-3 release.

7:33My gut is this will probably come in the next month or so.

7:36Um so first of all, external key management

7:39Extracts enhances curative data extra and tablet cloud with external key management.

7:43Um keys in this context essentially relate to AWS.

7:46You get a key, uh this key is used to encrypt the data source.

7:49So when the extract is created, it talks to AWS and uses this key.

7:53This means that if some

7:54someone hacks into your environment or gets access to your Tableau Cloud in AWS not even Tableau you can essentially disable the key and the key will mean that people now can't read those extracts.

8:04Those extracts essentially become useless to anyone who has them.

8:07So gaining full control

8:09Control over the encryption keys means that you as a customer are in full control of everything.

8:14And you can kind of tie this down to authentication and access as well through AWS's key management service.

8:20So KMS is its short name.

8:22So this is a is a nice, good, secure feature to

8:24Have um private connect additional connectors.

8:27So private connect is a new capability that I frankly do not know enough about.

8:31I believe this is a capability that enhances your ability to get into your infrastructure through AWS.

8:38So let's say you're hosting a data.

8:39Space in AWS, Private Connect essentially allows you to get Tableau Cloud to hook directly into that using the AWS infrastructure.

8:48That is my

8:48layman's basic understanding of it.

8:51And so additional connectors in this interface allow you to connect to some additional data sources.

8:57So you can have

8:59uh cross region connectivity for redshift, Postgres SQL, MySQL, MySQL, OracleDB and Aurora.

9:05These are like

9:06hosted databases on AWS.

9:09So if you're not necessarily doing this on premise, you're doing it in the cloud, you can actually have these databases connect.

9:15through Private Connect, which is better than Bridge, because Bridge is essentially reaching into your company's network, then connecting to these data sources.

9:23This is different.

9:23This is Tableau Cloud reaching directly to those data sources, if that makes sense.

9:29Again, a really nice touch.

9:31Okay.

9:32Custom domains.

9:33Oh, this is so nice.

9:35Custom domains for tablet cloud.

9:37My word.

9:37How long has this taken?

9:38This is

9:39God my word.

9:40Now the amount of URLs I have to go out and be updated is probably gonna be ridiculous.

9:45But um basically if you uh have some really nice uh people in IT that are willing to set up the infrastructure for you, this is probably gonna be the next thing.

9:55You will be able to use custom domains.

9:57So you can probably go out to your IT administrator, go out to your cloud administrator

10:02And say hey, can you get us this nice lovely custom domain tableau at company name.

10:07com so that we don't have to keep typing in online.

10:11tableau.

10:11com anymore, which will be fantastic.

10:14So um eliminate the need for third party kicking.

10:17in embedded scenarios and give users a simple memorable URL for accessing their their analytics.

10:22Actually I had not thought of this a third-party cookies in embedded scenarios.

10:27So this happens because essentially um

10:30Your embedded solution, your application will run in a different URL to your Tableau CloudSight online.

10:35table.

10:36com.

10:36And because of that, you have to have third party cookies installed because essentially the URLs are not the same.

10:42But if your application runs on your domain name,

10:45Let's say I'm running at company name.

10:47com and my tableau cloud instances tableau at a dot tableau company name.

10:53com

10:53then I don't have to deal with that.

10:55That's actually I I'dn't I'dn't I'd not thought of that and that's actually quite a nice touch for an embedding uh capability so that's good platform data API oh this looks really complex so this is a screenshot of Postman I believe

11:07Is this Postman or am I making this up?

11:09Let's have a look.

11:10Gain programmatic access to your Tableau Cloud Activity and Agents data without requiring an AWSS3 integration.

11:16Use a new API to retrieve unified event logs for custom

11:21uh SIEM uh ingestion or anal analytics in your own data warehouse.

11:27So essentially there's an API that gives you information about what's going on in tablet cloud rather than having to have it dumped into AWS

11:35S3.

11:36So essentially you can call this information.

11:39Near real-time logs and S3 integration only available with Tableau Enterprise or Tableau Plus bundle makes sense.

11:45So I think this is going to be a

11:49Uh uh obviously it's an it's a it's an API, but I believe Tableau typically or Salesforce typically have like postman uh bundles that show you how to get some of this stuff and that's what we've got a screenshot of here

12:01It's just not sort of showing us the full Postman interface, but it's not showing us the logo, sorry, but this is this is Postman, I'm pretty confident of that

12:10And yeah, you can you can use this to get information more quickly.

12:14I have to say, like, these are very small things, but these are the kind of things IT asks for.

12:18And

12:19uh you know tableau is always considered a premium product but then this is exactly I think what justifies that price sometimes because you go into clients and they ask for all these things and they think it should be out of the box but not everyone's asking for them and they think they think that everyone's asking for them and they're just not.

12:34just very like unique use cases.

12:36Um so sometimes I I look at the breadth of other platforms and I just don't see anywhere near this level of depth.

12:42And then I see in the tableau ecosystem and m maybe I've been drinking too much Salesforce Kool-Aid, but I start thinking, man, this really justifies the premium price because I don't see this in other platforms.

12:52I just don't see it.

12:53Um it's just n it's just not something that I I see being offered.

12:56So anyway

12:58That's an argument for another day.

12:59Tags in admin insights.

13:01This is nice.

13:02So being able to tag content in admin insights gives you visibility how content is organized and governed on your Tableau Cloud site.

13:09Analyze tags apply to your content within admin insights.

13:12to enforce governance policies and understand content usage.

13:16So the tags I'd be interested to see here would be um

13:22Yeah, it will be really interesting.

13:24So here you can see you can tag uh something, VIP reports, and then the VIP reports are specifically uh labeled

13:32I don't know how these tags are applied.

13:34I don't know if they're expecting users to be manually doing this or if or if um

13:40It like you'd have to educate your users into adding these.

13:43I don't believe there's a like a nice interface to do this after the fact.

13:46You can see here this is just basically the publishing window.

13:49and it's got the um it's got the uh value in there but it's something to to see in tableau cloud to see if you can add it after the fact I think you can I'm I'm fairly sure sure certain you can

14:00But as as long as you've done it in tablet cloud, then in admin insights, these tags appear and you can start to uh track them.

14:07So you could say, look, all reports from this team use this tag or

14:10So on and so forth, and then you can use that as like a way to track things across the infrastructure.

14:15Rename sites via the REST API, so gain more flexibility and manageability over Tableau Cloud Sites

14:21admins can now edit names and URIs.

14:24The thing I think this is useful for is if you're if you're sort of using Tableau Cloud sites as a like a very like programmatic thing and because of the cloud manager capabilities where you can create new sites uh very quickly, this is a very um

14:37Important thing to allow programmatic management of those sites.

14:40So being able to change the names, being able to deprecate them just allows you to set up an API and then send out those instructions and do things like migrate people from one site to another very easily and even allow

14:51you to rename things and break the URI so that people then can't react to it.

14:56That's the kind of stuff that I think people do.

14:58But again, I I just I just haven't come across those use cases myself, but I know I know they exist and the people out there using it.

15:04Configure SAML via the REST API.

15:06So achieve greater efficiency and scale when managing security for multiple sites with a new SAML configuration REST APIs.

15:12So again REST API is just becoming like super prolific in every potter tableau.

15:17You can virtually control everything using this API.

15:20So

15:20Being able to programmatically configure SAML in both Tableau Cloud Manager or a Tableau Clos site and create scripts to automatically rotate identity provider certificates.

15:30means you can essentially have a a touchless setup with tablet cloud.

15:33This is super important for some companies.

15:35I've actually worked for a company that insists on having what is essentially a touchless configuration process.

15:41So if you want to set up a tablet cloud cloud site in this company, you would have

15:45to have a script that does the whole entire thing, no hands on.

15:49This is from the perspective of disaster recovery and resilience.

15:52Essentially if something were to happen, could they stand up their whole entire infrastructure just by running a sense of scripts?

15:58And essentially this is it.

15:59Because doing

15:59Doing it manually obviously requires a lot of people.

16:02It's very non-resilient and also if the right people aren't around then essentially you lose all of that um uh knowledge.

16:08So yeah, this is um I guess useful in that scenario.

16:11Again, not one that I've ever seen

16:13User attributes function for SAML and OIDC.

16:17And these are the really driest like parts of this update.

16:20I'm just gonna take a break and be like, man, I'm really trying my best to keep the energy high, but this is just dry

16:26User attribute function for SAML and OIDC.

16:29I don't even know what OIDC is, but let's have a read.

16:32Enhance row level security with user attributes pass directly

16:36from your identity provider.

16:38Essentially row level security is the kind of thing that comes out to your database or through the data source.

16:44User attribute functions are uh capabilities when you do embedding and when you are essentially essentially application is talking to Tableau and what I'm thinking here is this user attributes

16:57functions pass directly from your identity identity provider, which in this case could be something like Okta.

17:03You can secure data with attribute-based access controls ABAC through the user attribute function UAF

17:10By dynamically passing attributes from the identity provider IDP using SAML or OIDC authentication tokens.

17:18So essentially, your SAML or OID authentication tokens

17:22are passing information through, I think, to the user attribute function capability, which is in turn then controlling

17:31the thing you see the row level security.

17:33I think that's what I've I think I think that's what this is saying.

17:36I genuinely have no clue so I should do like a whole video on like

17:41things I do not understand about Tableau that I hope someone can explain to me and maybe put out a bounty for some of these in the comments.

17:47It'll be a great video.

17:48Put like a video like 10 things I don't know about Tableau

17:51And put out like a hundred dollar bounty for anyone who can who can not only explain it to me, but explain it to me in one take.

17:58Okay?

17:59That'll be a great video.

18:01Tableau Cloud Unified Access Token.

18:04I bet you who would who'd be able to do this?

18:06Eric Summers.

18:06Eric Summers on LinkedIn has been doing a great series on API, so be sure to check him out.

18:13Tablet Cloud Unifier's Access Token simplify multi-site management and enable robust automation with unified the JWT authentication solution.

18:22This modern secure method replaces difficult to manage your personal access token pat, allowing you to centralize API access across your entire Tableau Cloud environment.

18:32Okay, so this is

18:33This is kind of useful because um it replaces uh what was a very manual process with personal access token.

18:42What I don't understand is the scope of this.

18:44So simplify multi-site management, enable robust automation with unified JWT authentication.

18:48This modern secure method replaces difficult-to-manage patents, allowing you to centralize API access.

18:55Okay.

18:56I think this is basically replacing the um pat system but for managing multi-site

19:03um things so as an admin this is for you so you don't have to keep managing paths between different sites to be able to do things.

19:11Essentially gives you one way of talking to um each of your Tableau cloud environments

19:17Through this token.

19:18I believe that's what it is.

19:19What it is.

19:20Okay.

19:20Prep in database processing.

19:22So we basically give you in database processing for Tableau Prep.

19:26This is all it is.

19:27Now improve the PAM performance

19:29Large prephrase preparation directly in their own data spaces gives more control.

19:33It doesn't say which data sets it's supported for, which is important for Tableau Prep because it doesn't have as full a range as something like um

19:42uh let's say altrix but I think it's actually uh more or less at the same par in terms of the databases it supports out of the box.

19:50I know Databricks is being added here as an example so prep right to Databricks.

19:56I believe I believe this wasn't strictly possible before.

19:59Um same with Snowflake.

20:01Snowflake didn't have this out of the gate, but then it added it later down the line.

20:04Um

20:05Tablet prep users also use Databricks can now save time and effort by writing their flat outputs directly into the database a Databricks database.

20:13And I think the direct bit is the important bit there.

20:17Tablet agent ingesting field descriptions.

20:21So improve the quality and relevance of AI generated insights by empowering Tablet Agent with deeper business context.

20:27Oh my god, this is an absolute nightmare.

20:30I cannot imagine someone filling this out.

20:33Okay, so I just realized I read this whole entire thing wrong.

20:36They're actually going to be ingesting it from the catalogue.

20:39I just

20:39I went on my high horse and did a rant here about how no one fills the description.

20:44So bear all of this in mind when you hear it.

20:46I do actually make the point I'm about to make, which is the catalogue is the right place to do it.

20:50So just bear this all in mind

20:53The agent now leverages field descriptions.

20:55No one writes field descriptions.

20:57It's just not gonna happen unless you're AI creating them.

21:02Um you're gonna have to put something in the tool to write these because no one writes these.

21:07In in my in my twelve years of consulting, working with Tableau virtually every week, I've never seen anyone

21:14do fill descriptions properly.

21:15Not a soul.

21:16So unless it's being programmatically done, in which case you're just feeding AI with AI, and it's not really, really that great.

21:24What I have seen done well is

21:26um AI summarizing a dataset generally so grouping fields together but it can't get the nuance of some of these descriptions like perfectly right.

21:34This kind of has to come from either the person who owns the data source, so the database

21:39and really belongs in a metadata store outside of Tableau, not just strictly here in Tableau, because this is useful, but it's not useful just in Tableau, it's useful everywhere.

21:48So maybe that's where it should be.

21:50New language support and prep, Dutch, Swedish, Thai, traditional and simplified Chinese.

21:55Viz extension enhancements.

21:57This table extension just keeps getting beefed up.

22:00So grade gain grace flexibility and control

22:02with Sanki and Table with Ascension leverage expanded color controls, advanced conditional formatting rules and new appearance, capability to build more insightful and finely tuned.

22:10So they're basically

22:12covering those old extensions they added and those are backwards compatible they go back to the very first version because they're just based on the web so they're really really powerful.

22:20Radial Viz extension.

22:21This is a new extension that allows you to build Radio Vizas.

22:25So again, really, really nice touch.

22:27I like the Tableau are adding their own.

22:29They're not just sort of relying on the community

22:31And they're making it easy to do these things.

22:33They're kind of looking at that long list of, yeah, what are people doing?

22:37And they're just building like a basic free version just out of the box so that you can have these

22:41inside of the product.

22:42So um you could do two or three layers of these.

22:45You could do two layers.

22:46So this, for example, what they built here, I could have actually done it without without this extension.

22:51Um but um to be able to do multiple layers is I think super, super important.

22:55So that's um

22:56quite good custom color palettes my word this is about do um yeah I don't need to explain this custom custom palette color palettes way it pretty much explains itself um you can

23:10Um they demoed this a uh a a tablet conference.

23:12So you can add a swatch, you can paste swatches, and you can save it.

23:16And once you've saved it, you can then apply it, which is basically this this version here.

23:20So you can apply it to the whole entire workbook.

23:23So you can open a workbook, it's ugly, you can

23:25Go to the color palettes in the workbook formatting, you apply it, and boom, your whole workbook's in the right sort of setup.

23:31So this is really really nice touch.

23:33Instant vision show me

23:35Um this is really really good.

23:37So um this one is basically a reverse version of Show Me.

23:41So rather than just um clicking on two fields and then uh having it show you a viz.

23:46Instant Viz and Show Me is essentially um open a data source, no

23:50field selected you click a partial and it goes and chooses the fields and builds it for you so it's a slightly different way of working but it still shows you what it's going to use what it's going to pick

24:01in order to create those.

24:02So you can just have it build charts, no prompts.

24:05Workbook colour assignment we've done.

24:07Add related tables.

24:09This is nice.

24:09So this is something that Kirk posted about, Kirk Monroe posted about

24:13on his LinkedIn essentially it's going to read the metadata coming from the database to add in related tables making it easier to build your own data model so it's going to um it's going to do some a little bit of

24:25what I would say like logic for you and and figure things out.

24:28There's no little screen grab here, so I've actually got 25.

24:303 on my laptop.

24:31I'll be able to try this

24:33with the uh data set but here you see they've put this in SQL Server so I believe it's just leveraging what's already been set up inside of SQL Server.

24:40So I have to sort of

24:41do some work inside of um Snowflake or SQL Server to try and show you how this works.

24:46Otherwise this is a really nice touch for people who are building data models

24:50Semantics connector updates, so just bringing these uh up to speed.

24:55So additionally new updates and connectors are also available to Tableau Desktop, server and cloud users you can uh reuse curated Tableau semantics and data sources.

25:04So this is important if you have Tableau Next, essentially allowing you to connect to your Tableau semantics datasets

25:12inside of Tableau Desktop so you don't have to keep basically repurposing things.

25:16If you if you've done the dataset work inside of Tableau Semantics, you can essentially get that over here.

25:21This is good if you want that sort of full end-to-end Tableau Cloud Tableau Next sort of interoperability.

25:27Tableau MCP OAUT supports so ensure enterprise grade governance security standards while using Tableau MCP with the support of HTTP Transport and OAuth you can centrally host and manage

25:39A remote Tableau MCP server that access requests from distinct users and respects low row-level security policies on your Tableau server.

25:47uh skim support on tableau server this is just bringing something that was available in tabloid cloud from the last release open id connect uh this I believe

25:56is for Tableau Server again.

25:58This is a Tableau Server release.

26:00So um we got one I think at the beginning of the year it's every other release so

26:06um this will be the last update until uh mid next year I believe so yeah these are all um basic now view reactions and tableau public um you can basically react to these new emoticons or new icons which are pretty cool I don't know

26:21know why someone's got a crying sad like tear.

26:24That's not a great one.

26:25I should always think these should be entirely uh positive but um anyway that's my opinion

26:30Tableau Public all the channels so yep, featured authors, uh find crazy in the tablet community on Tableau Public's homepage and find and follow talented authors, essentially a channel showing you people who you should go follow.

26:40Tableau agent and Tableau server.

26:42This is really nice.

26:43So this is essentially bringing

26:45the tablet aging capabilities but giving you your own LLM with your own API key in order to connect to that.

26:51So rather than fronting off tablet cloud you can front it off your own

26:54infrastructure and essentially have your own API key and I think Tableau's done the work to basically pass off that information to um the LLM.

27:02Now the thing here is that I think you're also now responsible as well for the security behind that because I don't think

27:08Tableau cloud is doing anything with your data.

27:12There's no sort of middleman that Salesforce has to remove PII.

27:16So really it's uh if you have like an internally hosted version of OpenAI or whatever, you can kind of get this to work with that, but

27:23really the ha the keys are yours and so the responsibility is yours.

27:26So I don't I don't see this being picked up very very quickly.

27:28I think companies are still figuring out how to do that stuff

27:32With Tableau Cloud, it's kind of nice that Salesforce did what they did to make it easy to just get started with this stuff.

27:38Tableau Next MCP server.

27:40So this is MCP server for Tableau Next, essentially bringing the MCP

27:44um capability up to speed within Tableau Next.

27:48This is going to be very nice because it might make it very attractive to build semantic models inside of Tableau Next

27:54and then just have those models be available here inside of an MCP, which would be much, much easier than building a data model inside of Tableau, Desktop, or Tableau, whatever, publishing it up and then

28:10More context of your organization um than potentially like a public uh

28:20stopped D script from uploading this to the cloud so I have no audio from this point on.

28:27So what I'm gonna do is narrate over my screen recording because that's all I can do

28:32to salvage this and i'm i'm so close to the end of the video so wow this this video did not go down well so yeah this is gonna be a bit weird but let's give it a go publish

28:42Okay, so here we have Tableau Pulse.

28:45Two updates.

28:46Tableau Pulse Custom Digest Frequency and Tableau Pulse Disable Alerts.

28:51Disable Alerts lets you disable one or the other.

28:54Before I think you had to have both of them on.

28:56And uh pulse customized digest frequency lets you choose a schedule for how frequent those come through.

29:02So that's pretty much it, I think, in this release.

29:05Yeah, I'm just gonna end this video here because at this point I've clearly not done a great job.

29:10And there you go, that's the end.
