What Is Tableau Pulse?
Available in Tableau Cloud, Tableau Pulse is a reimagined data experience centered around the metrics that matter most to you and your business. It delivers personalized, smart, and contextual insights directly where you already work.
Personalized View of Your Data
Instantly access the metrics you care about, filtered to the relevant context, without the digging or guesswork. With Tableau Pulse, you get a personalized digest of the metrics you follow, so the data you care about is always front and center.
On your homepage, view a personalized, AI-generated natural language summary of insights on what’s happening across your metrics. This summary directs your focus, so you can quickly get a sense of what’s on track and what needs attention.
Smart, AI-Driven Data Insights
Tableau Pulse automatically detects hidden drivers, trends, contributors, and outliers for metrics you follow to proactively notify you of unusual changes. When you need more information, you can review the Insights Exploration page. The Insights Explorationl page is full of the comprehensive information you need to understand what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what you might want to do next.
Suggested questions and answers help you find the most meaningful insights, even if you don’t know what questions to ask. Tableau Pulse delivers insights in natural language and supports them with visual explanations so you can quickly understand and take action. If you don’t see the insight you're looking for, click the Ask button to the left of the available questions, and enter a new question. Tableau Pulse finds and ranks semantic matches for insights about the metric you're investigating and provides a question for each detected insight.
Insights Built for Your Context
Tableau Pulse brings data to you. Receive digests of your key metrics in your collaboration tool of choice (such as email or Slack) for easy access and sharing. From there, you can go directly to Tableau for further explanation and understanding. Since Tableau Pulse provides relevant data directly in your flow of work, you can easily share and discuss data in context to make swift and proactive data-driven decisions as a team.
Across applications, you get a unified and reliable view of your data. The metrics layer of Tableau Pulse serves as a single source of truth, keeping your core metric definitions consistent across all downstream experiences for different teams or contexts. That means you can trust that the data pushed to you is relevant and reliable, without having to question or investigate it. The metrics layer is also enriched with business context, to help you understand things like whether an increase or decrease is favorable and which dimensions are relevant for analysis.
