- Certification: Salesforce Agentforce Life Sciences Consultant
- Exam section: Foundations and Administration
- Study guide: https://www.certifyforce.com/study-guide/agentforce-life-sciences-consultant

**Official exam objective:**

> Create standard reports, dashboards, and TabNext industry metrics.

## What the exam expects

- Build a standard report and dashboard from click-stream and engagement data, choosing groupings and summaries that answer the question.
- Configure mobile report settings and predict how charts, dashboards and report formats render in the Life Sciences Cloud mobile app.
- Define a semantic metric with its measure, time dimension, grouping dimensions and comparison periods.
- Show a user's followed metrics in a dedicated mobile tab and localize its labels.

Key terms: **source report**, the report that supplies one dashboard widget's data; **PresentationClickStrmEntry**, the record of engagement data captured per presented slide; **semantic model**, the Data 360 semantic-layer model that metrics are built on; **measure** and **time dimension**, the value a metric tracks and the date it is tracked over; **comparison period**, the reference window a metric's result is compared with; **followed metrics**, the metrics a user chooses to follow, listed in the mobile tab. The exam guide uses the term TabNext; the official pages document these mechanics for Data 360 and Tableau Next.
