Check me out!

I am very proud of myself tonight for two reasons:

  1. I learned how to feed myself.
  2. I passed the legacy data challenge
I can type quickly, however, I'm all thumbs with most other objects.  Don't judge- I'm only 6.5 months old!  If you are at all interested in my personal growth- read on.  If not, skip to the next section.  Today started out like most days- I slept in until 7, ate some applesauce, and took a bath with my ducky.  Normally I request a nice bottle of warm milk then take a nap.  This is when things got a little crazy.  Mom was very brusque...she kept muttering about a conference call that she foolishly scheduled right in the middle of my morning!  She rudely plopped me on the floor, half propped up with a pillow, and handed me a bottle.  I was not pleased and voiced a complaint- which was ignored! Complaining made me thirsty, so I decided to try the bottle on my own.  I could!  It took a few tries, but I did it!  Mom was so proud of me!  She gave me an extra long cuddle after her call!  I am going to do it again!
Dad watched this with me last weekend!
Who loves to Trailhead?  Me! Me!  
Who loves to import legacy data?     
This challenge wasn't hard, but it did require some thought.

  • The first think that I did: Make sure that I did not have any triggers in my Playground that would be impacted by importing 40+ opportunities.  I use my mom's email address to Trailhead, and it would be hard to explain 40 emails without being forced to spontaneously start speaking in full sentences.
  • Next, I downloaded the import file and made a list of the order in which I would need to import the data.  For example, I started with Explorers, then products...
  • Finally, I edited the import file to leave space for the ID's that I would need to patch.  My spreadsheet looked like this:
  • Import!
One more challenge and I will be a Lightening Experience Specialist!

Service Cloud Specialist Superbadge - 4,5,6,7

Part of doing the Service Cloud Specialist superbadge is trying new things, so I am putting up picture of new things that I've tried recently.  One of my favorite new things this week was taking a shower with my whole block collection.  Mom put me in the shower, and I sneaked out to grab the block bin and dumped it in.  I'm concerned to share photos because of the slight nudity, however, I can assure you that it was a glorious adventure.  Instead, I'll share my favorite Saturday new thing- walking to the coffee shop for a sprinkle donut!  Back to the superbadge... Challenge 4 Case Routing If you haven't taken the Onmi Channel module yet, now is a good time! I kept that particular module open one on screen while I walked through this step.  It is hard to give many hints about this step without giving away too many details - so - the best advice is to read through the challenge and label each step with the corresponding Salesforce term.  (IE - "The channel, Sto

Service Cloud Specialist Superbadge - 1,2,3

A confession - I know next to nothing about service cloud.  While I was excited that a new superbadge was available, it made me a little nervous that I had to do all of the prerequisites and tackle new things like macros.  New things - new year - let's get started! (Right after I finish guitar practice) If you are also a service cloud novice, the Omni-Channel Basics is a crucial prerequisite even though it is not officially required. Challenge 1 App Appearance  This, like all superbadges, requires a careful read through the instructions prior to any clicking.  I found it helpful to take a separate notebook and write down the steps that I would need for each challenge step - for example -  My rough notes for challenge 1: Create 2 profiles  Tweak service Console 3 new items on utility bar Allow access for new profiles Create User  Beware - After editing the service console, you might have to edit the new profiles.  I found it necessary to click "edit&quo
