Process Automation Specialist Superbadge - 4


A tactic that worked well for tonight's challenge was to print the Trailhead "Create Sales Process and Validate Opportunities" video transcript and make a note, next to each section, with what overall steps are needed.  For example, I noted "opportunity stages, sales process, opportunity record type, validation rule, etc."  This ensured that I did not miss a step.

Lighning setup search = awesome!
I started in the object manager under the Opportunity object in order to include the new "Awaiting Approval" stage.  I deactivated all unneeded stages then crafted the Sales Process, incorporating the opportunity stages then record type.  It may not be necessary, but I made sure to apply the each record type to the correct layout that corresponds with each profile.
Opportunity Layout that corresponds with each Profile

To set up the approval process, I created a checkbox field, making it "read only" for all except System Admins and the Custom: Sales Profile.

The validation rule required a little thought. I started by sketching out a rough draft of the formula in plain language:
I want a user to be unable to proceed if an opportunity is greater than $100,000 AND the "Approved" checkbox is not checked.
HINT: I used a very simple AND formula where Approved_c = False.

Tomorrow's challenge - step 5 - looks confusing!  I am going to read the video transcript a few times and call it a night!

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

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 it necessary to click "edit&quo
