# Data Template Features

Data templates are similar to app templates, with a few key differences.

Data templates can contain one or more of these assets: data connectors, data prep recipes, and datasets. [Get Started with Data Integration](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=analytics.bi_integrate_get_started.htm&type=5&language=en_US).

## How are Data Templates different from App Templates

Data templates and app templates are designed to save you time with prepackaged assets and logic tailored for specific use-cases. Both template types use the same internal framework, making them configurable and customizable.
