Chris Stolte - six dot one deep dive

Chris goes deeper into the six dot one release

Data Performance

One up 550 million rows of data using the 6.1 data engine on, DELL laptop

Heard that the extract partial refresh only appends new rows, does not merge updates and or remove deleted rows. Unclear who would be interested in this, unless each row was a transaction with some action type? hard to then merge this in Tableau. Assumes that rows are never updatable?

Incremental refresh allow you to merge or append from different source, hmm interesting.

Credential pass through for SQL Server added to Tableau server. Yippie, we can finally start to use Tableau server. Cheyne feedback help push this one through. Also added for Terradata.

Interesting purge and pin feature of the start page, makes wokbook management easier.

Quick view of data on the Add Table and connection edit, as well as the join clause dialogue. Feature throughout the user interface. Preview results in the pane. Looks very similar to Excel.

iPad

Touch optimised application. No extra work to publish to the ipad.

Quick filter and selections have been revised to make it touch optimised.

ipad Tableau looks very impressive, support for all normal actions on the ipad.

New water droplet effect on ipad touch.
