Data Stories or What is Data telling us

Data Stories can be added to any visualization, and it can automatically generate customizable dashboard summaries, which help users understand them faster and easier. What is more, the summary is presented in the form of easy-to-remember bullets and updates every time the data or the visualization changes. Adding a Data Story to your viz is simple as drag-and-drop and they are easily customizable to answer the audiences needs better. Presented initially as part of Tableau Cloud, Data Stories will soon be available to Tableau Server users as well.
