Stay in the flow with Tableau 2021.1

We are thrilled to announce that the new Tableau 2021.1 version has arrived, bringing our most favorite update: the in-product Extension Gallery. We are very excited to show what this means for our customers!

Infotopics | Apps for Tableau is worldwide market leader in premium Tableau Dashboard Extensions. We add a lot of value to dashboards by expanding them with functionality and new types of visualizations. The new Tableau 2021.1 version makes it easier to discover our extensions with improved browsing experience and search and filter options. The best part? You don’t have to leave your Tableau workflow!

Before the update you had to download the .trex files from the Tableau gallery and save them locally on your computer and now you can easily find and use them through the integrated quick access menu in Tableau! Here is how it works step-by-step:

1. In Tableau, open a dashboard inside your workbook.
2. Drag the extension object to your dashboard.
3. The ‘Add an extension’ dialog box will pop up where you can select the extension and add it to your dashboard.

4. If asked, allow or deny full data access to the extension. Do you want more information about data security? Check our policy.
5. If allowed, follow the instructions given to set up the extension. Do you need more support on setting up the extensions? Check our documentation page!
