About Tableau Help
Addressing implicit bias in technical language
In an effort to align with one of our core company values, equality, we have changed terminology to be more inclusive where possible. Because changing terms in certain places can cause a breaking change, we maintain existing terminology in the following places:
- Tableau APIs: methods, parameters and variables
- Tableau CLIs: commands and options
- Tableau Resource Monitoring Tool installers, installation directories and terms in configuration files
- Third-party systems documentation
For more information about our ongoing effort to address implicit bias, see Salesforce Updates Technical Language in Ongoing Effort to Address Implicit Bias on the Salesforce website.
Deprecated and retired features
Beginning in October 2023, we are making the following adjustments to our use of terms in the Tableau Help:
- Deprecated: A deprecated feature is one that is scheduled to be retired from Tableau in a future release.
- Retired: A retired feature is one that is no longer available in the latest version of Tableau. It has been removed from the software.
Features that have been deprecated or retired may still be documented for customers who are running older, still-supported versions of Tableau.
