Salesforce’s New Tableau Capabilities Improve Flow of Work with Slack Integration, AI-Powered Features

March 15, 2023 — Tableau has launched new features that help customers make data-driven decisions more quickly and efficiently. The new release will further enable companies to put their data at the center of every business interaction, use natural language to add business context to dashboards, personalize access based on their security policies, and more.

Eight out of 10 business leaders agree that data is critical for decision-making — especially today. However, many still struggle with how to use it. In fact, 41% of business leaders report not understanding their data because it is too complex or not accessible enough.

“Business leaders understand that data and analytics are critical to their organizations’ success, but many don’t fully understand how to use it to make decisions. There is a huge opportunity for businesses to better integrate data into everything they’re doing,” said Francois Ajenstat, Chief Product Officer at Tableau. “We are committed to continuously delivering capabilities inspired directly by the Tableau Community, and with these new innovations, businesses are able to make data-driven decisions that will drive continued growth and efficiency.”

New Features

• Tableau for Slack enhancements will make it even easier to put data at the center of every conversation. Users can now share Tableau content in Slack with visualization previews, and easily search for and share in direct messages and channels.
• Data Mapping allows users to take an Accelerator, or ready-to-use dashboards available for many use cases across industries in Tableau Exchange, and reconfigure it to match any data source without the use of third-party applications, saving time and automating manual data entry.
• Data Stories for Tableau Server uses natural language to automatically create a fully customizable story in narrative form, adding context that helps any business user – not just data analysts – easily make sense of the insights.
• User Attribute Functions personalizes embedded workflows for each user by displaying only the most relevant insights, streamlining experiences by managing data access and enforcing security policies based on attributes like role, department, and location.
