Lightning Hero!








I am that hero...they call me.. the Trailhead Baby!  As a Lightening Experience Specialist, I have a few final tips!

Tip #1 - Read.  Read the instructions!  Then, read the instructions again!  The final superbadge step was not difficult- minor org modifications and creating a report.  The challenge took an extra hour because I missed a few steps.  For my next superbadge, I am going to smuggle a highlighter into my crib!  Items that I missed the first time:

  • Add the Adventure Stage Comparison charge to a new section.
  • Use the Product Date range on the report, not the "Close Date."
  • Product = Adventure.  Pesky renamed object! 
Tip #2- Watch the API name!  On round 1, I created the report with the correct API name- "Opp Stage by Adventure."  I made a mistake, so I cloned the report and added a "_2" to the API name to save.  Bad idea!  Trailhead is looking for the exact API name! Of course, I had already tied "_2" to the record page by this point... I deleted all versions of the report and emptied the recycling bin.  It took 24 hours for the API name to be usable again.  It took an extra night...recreating the report, tying it to the report page again...!  I was so frustrated that mom heard me complaining and came into my room!  I quickly hid my laptop and pretended to be snoring.


I am a Lightning Hero! Conqueror of the Superbadge!

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...

This afternoon, I added a genius wig in an attempt to look a little older and more experienced.  The free lemonade offer worked!  I made two dollars today!  A huge thank you to Jocelyn Fennewald , Salesforce MVP, for pointing out the "remove all columns" option within the report creator.  When you start a create a new report, simply click to start with a clean screen.  If you are familiar with report and dashboards, this challenge should only take 30 or so minutes to complete.  Below are tips and gotchas for each report / dashboard.  If you need more help, leave a comment!

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 i...
