Are we refreshed yet?

It’s often faster (especially when working remotely) to refresh a data extract on the server rather than using your desktop client.

An annoying part of this, though, is the constant refreshing waiting for the timestamp to change so you know that the refresh has finished.

Wait no more! Since Tableau 2020.3 was released you can set up a refresh alert using subscriptions which will allow you to go and do something else until that email arrives and then you can return to what you were doing. You should probably delete the subscription after this or it might get annoying.
