Tableau re-engineers dashboards, adds new analytics tools for business analysts

"Tableau has announced the availability of Tableau 2022.3, a new version of the data visualization and analysis program designed to make it easier for business users to gain insights into their data via the use of capabilities including a Data Guide to help uncover business intelligence more quickly, and a new advanced analytics and predictions tool called Table Extension. Tableau has also added more dynamic dashboards to its offering,"

""Tableau is focused on bringing analytics everywhere, for everyone, especially since we continue to see companies struggle with unlocking their own data," said Francois Ajenstat, chief product officer at Tableau, in a statement released by the company. "Our investments infuse Tableau in other widely used applications and bring self-service into the flow of work, making insights easier, relevant and more actionable.""

"For customers using dashboards, there's a growing expectation for the provision of custom content and tailored experiences, even though it's often unsustainable and inefficient to create distinct dashboards for each audience. Additionally, for new users, navigating a dashboard and uncovering insights from it, can be difficult without training. In response to this challenge, Tableau's new capability, Data Guide, offers descriptions and resources to help users become familiar with dashboards, while providing visibility into data."

Tableau 2022.3 provides features to help business users gain insights through a Data Guide and an advanced analytics and predictions tool called Table Extension.

The platform remains a self-service BI tool aimed at nonprofessional developers such as business analysts, balancing advanced analytics with streamlined complexity. Tableau focuses on bringing analytics everywhere, infusing analytics into other widely used applications and bringing self-service into the flow of work to make insights easier, relevant and more actionable.
