Tableau Data Management
Starting with the 2019.3 release, Tableau enhanced Data Management capabilities with the introduction of Tableau Prep Conductor and Tableau Catalog. Since the initial release of Data Management, Tableau has continued to add and enhance capabilities. The virtual connections functions we mentioned in the first part of this chapter are an example. These Data Management features require additional licensing costs.
It is important to understand this product add-on as it enables some of the Data Management functions that layer onto the modeling capabilities we will learn about in this book. As it is a set of bundled features that are licensed on top of user roles, you might not have these capabilities available to you if your organization has not purchased Data Management licenses. To get access to these features, you can download a 14-day free trial of Tableau Cloud with Data Management enabled, as described in the Technical requirements section in Chapter 1.
