**Official exam objective:**

> Understand how Tableau Next Apps for Salesforce and Marketplace offerings accelerate time to value.

## What the exam expects

- Choose between an AgentExchange package in Marketplace and a template on the Templates page, and assign the permission set each path needs.
- Identify template types and the actions available for Salesforce-provided versus custom templates.
- Run and troubleshoot installed apps in App Hub: refresh actions, Retry, Monitor tab task details and State View.
- Maintain custom templates: resources, rules and chains, upload behaviour, deletion order, wizard questions and conditional rules.
- Match a business need to a Tableau Next App for Salesforce such as Agent Analytics or the C360 Semantic Model.

Key terms:
- **Tableau Next Marketplace:** the in-product catalogue of out-of-the-box, custom and AgentExchange templates.
- **App template:** templatized data and analytics resources plus rules that create a customized app in each org.
- **App Hub:** the Setup page that lists, manages and monitors apps installed from templates.
- **Chain:** the ordered task list a template runs to create, update or refresh an app's assets.
- **Rule:** a find-and-replace instruction that rewrites asset JSON from configuration responses.
