Savants are always improving and their tools should too. That's why we're constantly releasing new features and enhancements every week. Here are the highlights from this month:
Work Hour Scheduling: Smarter, More Flexible Bot Management
Tired of juggling bot schedules for different time zones, business hours, and stakeholder needs? Scheduling bots should be as seamless as your workflows, and now it is!
With Savant’s new Work Hour Scheduling feature, you can define your standard work hours and apply them across multiple bot schedules with just one click.
Whether you’re automating tasks for local teams or coordinating with global stakeholders, this feature eliminates scheduling headaches and saves you valuable time.
Here's how:
Define your standard work hours once and reuse them across multiple bot schedules.
Effortlessly coordinate schedules for stakeholders in different time zones.
Save time and reduce clicks when scheduling bots to run during your work hours or theirs.
This feature is perfect for anyone managing multiple bots or aligning schedules with distributed teams!
Customize Start of the Week: Make Any Day Day 1
Not everyone’s week starts on Monday, and your data workflows shouldn’t have to either. With Savant’s updated Day_Of_Week() function, you can now set your week to start on any day that makes sense for your use case.
Whether it’s Sunday for a retail calendar, Wednesday for a fiscal period, or Saturday for international reporting, this enhancement ensures your week-based calculations are as flexible as your needs.
Here's how:
New optional second parameter for Day_Of_Week(`Date`, 'Start Day') lets you set the week’s starting day.
Default is Monday, but now you can choose Sunday, Saturday, or any other day as Day 1.
Simplify complex week calculations by aligning them with your specific calendar requirements.
This feature empowers you to align your data with the real-world workflows that matter most.
Supercharge Tableau Connector: Break Through Bottlenecks
If you’ve ever run into delays, job failures, or user conflicts when working with Tableau integrations, you’re not alone. Tableau’s APIs are designed to allow only one process at a time per connection (aka access token), which can create serious bottlenecks in fast-moving workflows.
That’s why Savant has stepped in with a cutting-edge resource-sharing service that makes those limitations a thing of the past. Now, you can run multiple Tableau jobs simultaneously or have multiple users working on the same connection—all without delays or failures.
Here's how:
Intelligent resource-sharing service optimizes Tableau access token usage.
Enables multiple users and jobs to run concurrently without conflicts or delays.
Eliminates job failures caused by Tableau’s single-process limitations.
With this upgrade, you can scale your Tableau workflows and collaboration to new heights—no bottlenecks, no barriers, just results.
