Tableau 10.5 was released yesterday and we now have viz in tooltips. I wrote a blog post in October 10 Tips for Viz in Tooltips. There has been lots of buzz about the new release. I am especially excited to have new features like Viz in Tooltips, because it usually opens the door to many more things, often far beyond what the developers at Tableau planned for a given feature. Last night I opened Tableau 10.5 and began exploring the new Viz in Tooltips feature again, so I thought I would write up another post with another 10 tips on using Viz in Tooltips.
Now Available in Tableau 10.5 Beta! Back in July 2014, I wrote a blog post Tooltip Canvas in Tableau - A Mockup for Chart Functionality within Tooltips based on an idea I added to the Tableau Ideas forum back in April 2013. The basic idea was adding the capabiluity of having a visualization inside of a tooltip. This functionality was demonstrated on stage at the Devs on Stage at the 2015 Tableau Conference. After that conference, I watched beta after beta to see if this functionality had been added. The functionality was mentioned again at the 2016 Tableau Conference, but it wasn't until earlier this year that I saw the feature in an Alpha release. This was very exciting. I was able to work with that Alpha release and try out different features and I knew that the beta release wouldn't be too far behind. Well that day has come. Viz in Tooltips has now been released as part of Tableau 10.5 beta.
