~7 min read · 15 practice questions

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.
