Tableau 2023.1: What’s Accelerator Data Mapping?

Data mapping is an important feature of any BI tool that connects data sources and standardizes data to make it easier to understand.

Now, with Accelerator Data Mapping, it becomes faster to map data with less time and effort. By using Accelerator’s ready-to-use dashboard, users can map fields from data sources to the Accelerator’s fields. It enables users to pull data into Accelerator using data mapping UI.

It eliminates the need for manual configuration and provides users with a more seamless mapping experience. Open Accelerator-enabled data mapper, match your outside data source to the required fields for a dashboard, and you are done.

Slack Enhancement In Tableau Desktop 2023.1

Tableau makes it easier to simplify data. But, with this update, Tableau simplifies the conversations related to data in Slack.

What will you get?

• You will have previews of Tableau content so you can quickly identify and act on information
• Search Tableau content easily and share Tableau content in channels and direct messages
• Easily access your recent and favorite items from the App homepage

New User Attribute Function To Personalize Data Access

With the new user attribute functions in Tableau desktop 2023.1, users can include additional information about users for ensuring raw-level security when users sign in. USERATTRIBUTES(string) is a new user function that passes login attributes in the login flow in the calculation. Tableau will pass the information as a filter and look for the attribute’s value for authentication.

This will help Tableau users modify any user’s data access in embedded scenarios.

Identity Pools For Tableau Server To Gain More Flexibility

Traditionally, in the previous version of Tableau Desktop, there were two kinds of identity stores – local and external. There was a limitation of single identity store selection.

Overcoming this limitation, Tableau 2023.1 brings Identity Pools – an identity management tool that enables users access to the Tableau server. It supports additional user provisioning and authentication.

With this feature, Tableau administrators can add external users belonging to a local identity store authenticated with OpenID Connect. Now, it becomes easy to segment users into identity groups based on provision and authentication.

Dynamic Axis Titles For Vizzes

Now users can dynamically update axis titles based on the value of a parameter. To make Tableau viz interactive, users can add parameters that let viewers choose what they want to see.

The title of the axis will automatically update, providing users with clear, contextualize data for their users.
