What is Tableau Project Elastic?

Project Elastic is the code name for a new tablet-based product by Tableau Software which was first announced in Tableau Conference 2014. Tableau Elastic Technology is designed specifically with mobile users in mind and aims to help users to ask questions to their data using just their two fingers and making fairly complicated queries, are just a tap, swipe, scroll or pinch away.

Tableau's VP of Mobile, Dave Story, has demonstrated the product in annual Tableau customer conference. What we can see up to now is that Tableau Software is basically building a new iPad app (or tablet app). In the presentation, Dave Story took an email attachment (a data file listing sales information about a local sandwich shop) and opened it in the Tableau Elastic app. The app immediately opens with a view of a chart showing categories of products sold at the shop. As other Tableau user interfaces, Elastic is also "drag-and-drop" based. With taps, swipes and scrolls, you can easily change the dimensions and measures as well as the chart types.

"The idea is going beyond our core audience, which has been business, and reaching out to the consumer. The motivation is what would you do now if you wanted to disrupt or wanted to start over with Tableau." - Dave Story, Tableau Vice President of Mobile

Tableau Elastic release date and pricing is not announced yet. Tableau Software plans to release Elastic as a product at some point in 2015.

You can find more information on Tableau Elastic in its web page, Be-Elastic.

What is new in Tableau 8.2 Release

Tableau 8.2 was released on June 18, 2014 and Tableau 8.2 Tour stop in Singapore was held on Wednesday July 23, 2014. The new release is already in 8.2.2 (released in August 21) and contains a lot of exiting features. The release includes the first-ever Mac OS version of Tableau Desktop, Story Points for interactive, data-driven storytelling, a more visual connection experience with data previews and improved experience in defining data table joins, and updated maps, in addition to enhancements to simplify administration and support of Tableau Server.

Here is a list of major new features in Tableau 8.2.

Tableau Desktop on the Mac
The revolutionary technology of Tableau Desktop now runs natively on the Mac. It’s the full analytics package, built to support high-resolution Retina displays, Mac-specific controls, and also all of your existing Tableau workbooks.

Story Points

One of the most anticipated features of Tableau 8.2, Story Telling lets you create compelling, interactive, data-driven stories. You can assemble sheets and dashboards into a narrative arc that tells the story in your data. You can capture key insights with annotations, highlights and filters. You can also add descriptions to emphasize findings. Make your story interactive to encourage further exploration.

Tableau Story Points

Visual data window

The data connection experience is redesigned in Tableau 8.2. from the ground up. With the new interface, you can connect to multiple tables, add joins with one click, and preview your data to make sure you've got what you need. You can also modify field properties, add data source filters, and extract your data.

Tableau New Visual data window

New map designs

Maps are critical to geographic analysis and have received a major overhaul in Tableau 8.2. This includes new map designs produced in collaboration with Stamen, worldwide detailed levels of zoom, an improved mapping server and support for high DPI displays.

Additional Tableau 8.2. Desktop features

New Excel & Text File Connector – You can connect to Microsoft Excel and text file data sources that are more than 255 columns. The new connectors automatically and more accurately detect data types and support functions, including Count Distinct and Median.

Native Support for Google BigQuery API - The Tableau connection to Google BigQuery now uses the native API from BigQuery, which means you’ll see improved performance and flexibility.

Improved SAP HANA Connector - The SAP HANA connector now supports HANA variables and Input Parameters.

Splunk Connector - Connect to and analyze machine-data in Splunk with the native Splunk connector (originally introduced in Tableau 8.1.4).

You can watch a 20 minute demo of the new Tableau 8.2. below.

New Tableau Server Features in 8.2

Server REST API - Tableau Server now comes with a REST API to help you easily manage and change your server resources programmatically, via HTTP. Use the API to create new sites, add or delete users from sites, and much more.

Disable Web Authoring - On Tableau Server, all web authoring capabilities can be disabled on a per-site basis, providing more administrative flexibility and control.

Simplified Log Access - Now you can download Tableau Server log files directly from the Admin page in your web browser. Key log files are now generated as JSON to be machine-readable.

Change Content Owner - You can now reassign the ownership of any published content to another user on Tableau Server or Tableau Online.

Import and Export Sites - All content within Tableau Server can be exported and imported on a per-site basis. This allows you to back up more efficiently or move content from one Tableau Server instance to another.

Responsive Marks - The web experience of published content has been upgraded to provide faster response times within the browser. When hovering over a mark on a view, the mark will respond immediately.

OAuth Support - Tableau now supports OAuth authentication when connecting to Salesforce, Google Analytics and Google BigQuery. This makes it convenient to connect to these data sources across all your workbooks and data sources. It also adds a layer of security since Tableau does not have to hold your credentials directly.
