Building Views Automatically

Tableau contains a suite of tools designed to help you quickly create useful views. Two situations in which you would want to create views automatically are when you want:

• Better Insight – People often have difficulty mapping data to views that address their analytical or presentation needs. Tableau contains built-in rules that are used to examine data and suggest ways of looking at it. In this way the software acts as a tour guide for producing useful views of data.
  
• Time Savings – Building data views manually can sometimes be time consuming. Using Tableau’s automatic features can help you work faster by giving you a starting view that you can further refine manually.
