references/learnings.md
exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.
Ask the user:
  1. What do you need help with?
    • A) Dashboard building — visualizations, charts, calculated fields, LOD expressions, parameters
    • B) Data connections — connecting to Salesforce, databases, cloud sources, live vs extract
    • C) Tableau Prep — data preparation flows, cleaning, joins, unions, pivots
    • D) Tableau Cloud / Server — publishing, permissions, scheduling, site admin
    • E) Tableau Pulse — metrics, AI-powered insights, natural language Q&A
    • F) Embedding — Embedding API v3, JavaScript, Connected Apps, SSO
    • G) REST API / Automation — API calls, Python TSC library, tabcmd, automation scripts

    • I) Licensing / pricing — Creator vs Explorer vs Viewer, Cloud vs Server, cost optimization
    • J) Tableau+ / AI features — agentic analytics, Tableau MCP server, AI calibration
    • K) Migration — moving between Server and Cloud, upgrading versions
    • L) Something else — describe it
  2. Which deployment are you on?
    • A) Tableau Cloud (SaaS)
    • B) Tableau Server (self-hosted)
    • C) Tableau Desktop only (no server)

    • D) Enterprise tier (Creator $115 / Explorer $70 / Viewer $35)
    • E) Not sure
Skip-ahead rule: if the user's prompt already contains enough context, skip to Step 2.

    • C) Viewer（15美元/用户/月）
    • D) 企业版（Creator 115美元/Explorer 70美元/Viewer 35美元）
    • E) 不确定
跳过规则：如果用户的提问已包含足够上下文，直接进入步骤2。

Step 2 — Route or answer directly

步骤2 — 转派或直接解答

Check if the user's question maps to another skill:
If about...Route to...
CRM setup/config (Salesforce)
/sales-salesforce {question}
Revenue forecasting methodology
/sales-forecast {question}
Connecting Tableau to other tools
/sales-integration {question}
MuleSoft data integration
/sales-mulesoft {question}
If the question is Tableau-specific, continue to Step 3.
检查用户的问题是否对应其他技能：
若问题关于...转派至...
CRM设置/配置（Salesforce）
/sales-salesforce {question}
收入预测方法论
/sales-forecast {question}
Tableau与其他工具的连接
/sales-integration {question}
MuleSoft数据集成
/sales-mulesoft {question}
如果问题是Tableau专属问题，继续步骤3。

Step 3 — Tableau platform reference

步骤3 — Tableau平台参考

Read 
references/platform-guide.md
 for the full platform reference — modules, pricing, data model, connectors, workflows.
Answer the user's question using only the relevant section. Don't dump the full reference.
For API questions, also read 
references/tableau-api-reference.md
 for authentication, endpoint patterns, and the Python TSC library.
**阅读
references/platform-guide.md
**获取完整平台参考内容 — 模块、定价、数据模型、连接器、工作流。
仅使用相关章节解答用户问题，不要直接输出完整参考内容。
对于API相关问题，还需**阅读
references/tableau-api-reference.md
**了解认证方式、端点模式以及Python TSC库的使用。

Step 4 — Actionable guidance

步骤4 — 可落地指导

Focus on the user's specific situation. Provide step-by-step instructions for their exact problem.
For performance issues, check: extract vs live, data source size, calculated field complexity, number of marks, dashboard actions, container layout.
For licensing questions, recommend the minimum role per user based on what they actually need to do (most users are Viewers, not Explorers).
If you discover a gotcha, workaround, or tip not covered in 
references/learnings.md
, append it there.
聚焦用户的具体场景，针对其问题提供分步操作说明。
针对性能问题，检查：提取连接vs实时连接、数据源大小、计算字段复杂度、标记数量、仪表盘操作、容器布局。
针对许可证问题，根据用户实际需求推荐最低权限角色（大多数用户只需Viewer权限，无需Explorer）。
如果发现
references/learnings.md
未覆盖的陷阱、变通方案或技巧，请将其追加到该文档中。

Gotchas

常见陷阱

Best-effort from research — review these, especially items about plan-gated features and licensing that may be outdated.
  • Every deployment needs at least one Creator license. You cannot run a Tableau Cloud or Server site with only Explorer/Viewer seats — at least one Creator is required to publish data sources and workbooks.
  • Tableau Cloud and Server are billed annually only. No monthly billing option at standard rates. Enterprise pricing is negotiable but significantly higher ($115/$70/$35 per role).
  • LOD expressions bypass dashboard filters by default. FIXED, INCLUDE, and EXCLUDE LOD calcs compute at their own granularity before filters apply. Use context filters or table-scope filtering to control this behavior.
  • Live connections to Salesforce have row limits. The Salesforce connector returns predefined objects and has incremental refresh support — but live connections can be slow with large orgs. Switch to extracts for dashboards that don't need real-time data.
  • Tableau Prep flows don't have scheduling on Desktop. You need Tableau Server or Cloud with Data Management to schedule Prep flows. Desktop users must run flows manually.
  • Embedding API v3 requires Connected Apps for SSO. The old Trusted Authentication method from v2 is deprecated. v3 uses JWT-based Connected Apps for seamless SSO embedding.
  • Tableau Cloud has a 10GB extract size limit. Bridge (for on-prem data) and large extracts may hit Cloud limits. Consider Tableau Server for very large datasets.
  • Customer support quality has declined post-Salesforce acquisition. Multiple user reviews flag generic support responses and billing confusion. Check Tableau Community (Trailblazer) and Stack Overflow before opening a support case.
基于研究的最佳实践 — 请重点关注这些内容，尤其是与功能限制和许可证相关的可能过时信息。
  • 任何部署方式都至少需要一个Creator许可证。仅使用Explorer/Viewer席位无法运行Tableau Cloud或Server站点 — 至少需要一个Creator许可证来发布数据源和工作簿。
  • Tableau Cloud和Server仅支持年度计费。标准费率下无月度计费选项。企业定价可协商，但费用显著更高（各角色分别为115/70/35美元）。
  • LOD表达式默认绕过仪表盘过滤器。FIXED、INCLUDE和EXCLUDE类型的LOD计算会在过滤器应用前按自身粒度计算。使用上下文过滤器或表级过滤来控制此行为。
  • Salesforce实时连接存在行数限制。Salesforce连接器返回预定义对象并支持增量刷新 — 但对于大型组织，实时连接可能运行缓慢。对于不需要实时数据的仪表盘，请切换为提取连接。
  • Tableau Desktop上的Prep流程无法调度。需要使用带有数据管理功能的Tableau Server或Cloud来调度Prep流程。Desktop用户必须手动运行流程。
  • Embedding API v3需要Connected Apps实现SSO。v2版本中的旧版可信认证方法已被弃用。v3使用基于JWT的Connected Apps实现无缝SSO嵌入。
  • Tableau Cloud的提取文件大小限制为10GB。Bridge（用于本地数据）和大型提取文件可能达到Cloud限制。对于超大型数据集，建议使用Tableau Server。
  • Salesforce收购后客户支持质量有所下降。多个用户反馈提到通用化的支持回复和计费混乱问题。在提交支持工单前，请先查看Tableau社区（Trailblazer）和Stack Overflow。

Troubleshooting

故障排除

Dashboard is painfully slow

仪表盘运行极慢

Symptom: Dashboard takes 10-30+ seconds to load Common causes: Live connection to a large data source, too many marks (>1M), complex LOD or table calculations, dashboard actions triggering cascading queries Solution: Switch to extract, reduce marks (aggregate or filter), simplify LOD calcs, use Performance Recorder (Help > Settings > Start Performance Recording) to identify the slowest sheets.
症状：仪表盘加载需要10-30+秒 常见原因：大型数据源的实时连接、标记过多（>100万）、复杂LOD或表计算、仪表盘操作触发级联查询 解决方案：切换为提取连接，减少标记数量（聚合或过滤），简化LOD计算，使用性能记录器（帮助 > 设置 > 开始性能记录）识别最慢的工作表。

Salesforce connector shows incomplete data

Salesforce连接器显示数据不完整

Symptom: Not all Salesforce objects or fields appear in Tableau Common causes: Salesforce field-level security blocking fields, predefined query selecting limited objects, connected user doesn't have API access Solution: Check the connected Salesforce user's profile/permission set has "API Enabled" and field-level security on the objects you need. Use custom SOQL if the predefined queries are too limited.
症状：Tableau中未显示所有Salesforce对象或字段 常见原因：Salesforce字段级安全限制了字段访问、预定义查询仅选择有限对象、连接用户无API访问权限 解决方案：检查连接的Salesforce用户的配置文件/权限集是否启用“API访问”，以及所需对象的字段级安全权限。如果预定义查询限制过多，使用自定义SOQL查询。

Extract refresh keeps failing on Cloud

Cloud上的提取刷新持续失败

Symptom: Scheduled extract refresh fails with timeout or credential errors Common causes: Credentials expired (especially OAuth tokens), extract exceeds 10GB Cloud limit, Bridge connection dropped for on-prem sources Solution: Re-authenticate the data source, check extract size (consider incremental refresh or filtering to reduce size), verify Bridge client is running and connected if using on-prem data.
症状：调度的提取刷新因超时或凭证错误失败 常见原因：凭证过期（尤其是OAuth令牌）、提取文件超过Cloud的10GB限制、本地数据源的Bridge连接中断 解决方案：重新认证数据源，检查提取文件大小（考虑增量刷新或过滤以减小大小），如果使用本地数据源，验证Bridge客户端是否正在运行并保持连接。
