Tableau Cloud Manager
Tableau Cloud Manager is an enhancement to Tableau Cloud that allows customers to create and manage multiple Tableau sites with centralized management of licenses and users. Tableau Cloud Manager simplifies the expansion and administration of your cloud analytics environment, helps ensure you meet governance and data residency requirements and introduces new administrative efficiencies.
The highlights of Tableau Cloud Manager are:
1. Expand analytics across your organization with multiple Tableau Cloud sites
Tableau Cloud Manager enables Tableau Cloud customers to create and manage multiple sites in a single deployment. Additionally, Tableau Cloud Admins can deploy these sites in the regions of their choice. This functionality is particularly beneficial for global organizations with geographically dispersed teams. By allowing for the establishment of region-specific sites, Tableau Cloud Manager enables tailored analytics experiences that cater to the unique needs and compliance requirements of every team in your organization.
Your Tableau Cloud edition determines site limits:
• Tableau Cloud (standard): up to 3 sites
• Tableau Cloud Enterprise: up to 10 sites
• Tableau+: up to 50 sites
2. Effectively manage multi-site deployments
Tableau Cloud Manager acts as a layer atop your Tableau Cloud sites, offering centralized management features that help you scale your analytics operations. Customers who deploy multiple sites can manage sites and license users in one place, including granting users access to multiple sites without requiring distinct licenses for each site.
3. Enhance governance with a new Cloud Admin role
Tableau Cloud Manager also introduces a new Cloud Admin role, a level above the traditional Site Admin. This allows for more flexibility in how your organization manages and governs your analytics environment based on your unique needs. A smaller organization may employ the same person as a Cloud Admin and a Site Admin. For larger organizations, your Cloud Admin could be someone in IT using higher-level administrative capabilities to implement more control and coordination across your Tableau Cloud sites.
Multiple External Identity Providers on a Site
You can now enable up to 20 identity providers on a single Tableau Cloud site. This feature allows administrators to offer secure access to external users, internal users, and partners. By using multiple identity providers, you can achieve site consolidation and simplify access for both internal and external users throughout the organization.
Table Viz Extension
Transform traditional reporting into visual analytics while addressing your users’ needs. Tables are essential visualizations for analysts, allowing them to examine data as text and convey detailed information at a granular level. The Table Viz Extension, developed and maintained by Tableau, enables you to incorporate detailed tables and grid views into your dashboards for users who favor traditional reporting formats. You can load this new visualization type into your marks card, configure new columns by dragging fields onto the card, and interact with the table directly for customization.
Spatial Parameters
Tableau 2024.3 introduces the full Tableau experience for geospatial data with the support of Spatial Parameters. In addition to the standard parameter types (such as string and integer), authors can now choose a “Spatial” type. These parameters create rich, interactive dashboards that allow you to ask and answer questions about geospatial information.
The Spatial type enables the parameter to capture spatial geometries—points, lines, and polygons representing locations, paths, and regions. With Spatial Parameters, end users can select individual points, which are then passed as input into calculations, facilitating dynamic behavior based on their selections. This functionality is similar to existing parameter behavior but is now extended to include spatial objects.

Display Data Model for Published Data Sources
Gain a visual understanding of how tables within your data model are related to Published Data Sources. You can view the relationships between tables and fields in Tableau by simply clicking on the Data Source pane in a Tableau workbook. By enabling analysts to see and comprehend how tables in the data model are interconnected in Published Data Sources, they can confidently create accurate visualizations with a clear understanding of the data model’s semantics.
Tableau Cloud App for Microsoft Teams
The new Tableau Cloud App for Microsoft Teams allows users to seamlessly integrate data-driven insights into their daily workflows, resulting in faster and more efficient decision-making. This integration enables real-time data sharing, making it easy for users to share their favorite Tableau dashboards and Pulse metrics without leaving Teams—in personal apps, messages, channels, and meetings. From there, they can analyze and share their insights in a message or channel. Pinned channel content is also available to explore in Teams meetings, providing a fully interactive experience. This promotes a more data-driven culture by ensuring everyone can collaborate effectively with access to the same data and analytics.
