Let’s dive into the new updates in Tableau 2025.1:
1. Tableau Agent Multilingual Support
Perform multilingual data analysis. It is now possible for users to converse with Tableau Agent (and Tableau Pulse!) in French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, and Portuguese. More people can now access conversational analytics in their native language.
With conversational AI, the Tableau Agent helps users navigate from data curation to exploration and accelerates all phases of analysis with generative AI. Additionally, because it is based on the Einstein Trust Layer, businesses can be assured that their data will remain safe, secure, and accessible only as intended.
2. Private Connect for Tableau Cloud
Use a dedicated, private connection to safely link Tableau Cloud to AWS data. Private Connect establishes a secure connection between Tableau Cloud and AWS data, ensuring your data remains private and is not made publicly available.
3. Revamped Tableau Pulse Homepage on Mobile
The redesigned Tableau Pulse mobile homepage enhances users’ ability to engage with data on the go. With a side-by-side view of at least three key metrics, it allows for instant comparison and faster insight generation.
The clean, intuitive interface enables users to easily spot patterns, track trends over time, and take action quickly, without needing to dig through dashboards. Whether you’re monitoring sales, operations, or customer engagement, Pulse ensures your most important KPIs are always within reach.
4. API for VizQL Data Services
VizQL Data Service is an innovative API that allows you to access published data sources in Tableau through programmatic queries rather than visualizations. Designed to maximize the versatility of your Tableau assets beyond traditional visualization, VizQL Data Service helps you tap into the analytic power of your data model anywhere.
It facilitates automating data processes by allowing you to run programmed queries directly on your data sources. By utilizing pre-existing Tableau connectivity and data models, you may more effectively design sophisticated, data-driven apps. You can now utilize your data models in any context, breaking free from the confines of visual tools.
5. Tableau Cloud Preview Websites
Tableau administrators can stay ahead of the curve by gaining early access to upcoming updates through release preview sites. This allows teams to test new features in advance, understand functional changes in a hands-on environment, and evaluate how updates will affect their organization’s unique dashboards and workflows—ensuring a smooth transition when the full release goes live.
In a Nutshell
The Tableau 2025.1 release brings a bunch of exciting updates to make working with data easier, smarter, and more secure. Now you can chat with Tableau Agent in multiple languages, get help with data prep and analysis using natural language, and connect securely to your AWS data using Private Connect. The refreshed Pulse homepage on mobile lets you track and compare key metrics at a glance, helping you make faster decisions wherever you are. Plus, with the new VizQL Data Service, developers can now access and use data directly, without relying on traditional dashboards. And if you’re a Tableau admin, you get early access to test new features before they go live, so your team is always ready for what’s next.
