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!

Process Automation Specialist Superbadge - 5

A project with Daddy: My favorite daily process! Making dinner for Mom! Tonight's challenge involves the creation of two processes.   Processes.  Have you guessed the theme of the photos that go along with the Trailhead - Process Automation Specialist Superbadge series?They are a few of my favorite day to day processes!  You, my amazing reader, get more than tips for a Salesforce Superbadge.  You also get personal insight into the life of a Trailhead Baby!  I hope that you feel inspired. Process Builder sketch Last night, I drew a rough sketch of my process: Was it pretty?  No. Did it help?  Yes! The sketch allowed me to organize all of the instructions into a reasonable order before I started clicking.  It also removed the approval steps from Process Builder and highlighted (with *'s) the prerequisite items to building my process. * Email Alerts I needed the Email Alerts set up before I could create either the process or ...

Security Superbadge -2

Challenge 2: Record-Level Security Settings I created the three user profiles last time, so the starting point tonight was the next tier of security - roles.  I set up the roles per the provided org chart, making sure to follow the opportunity restrictions from the directions. Next, I set up the required user and assigned her to the correct profile and role. Hint:   Use a real email address for Samantha Cordero.  You will need to login as Samantha in order to create an opportunity for her.  While you are at it, go ahead and login to Salesforce1 as Samantha. Once Salesforce1 is enabled, you can set up the appropriate permissions.  You may want to take take a peek at a Salesforce Knowledge Article .   Me - as a Project Manager. Next, I addressed the special role - Project Managers Project Managers require a role, permission set, and a  sharing rule.  Whew! For the final step, I set up the remaining sharing rules in     ...

Einstein Analytics Data Preparation Specialist Superbadge - 1,2,3

Hello all! It's time for another superbadge! I started this superbadge a long time ago... it's time to finish it!  My goal is to complete this badge before my little brother starts to walk.  He's getting close... Step 1 - A quiz.  You're on your own! Step 2- This is one checkbox in setup.  You're on your own! Step 3- Let's talk about that.... Dataflow. The best tool to use when crafting your dataflow is the data monitor.  It can help troubleshoot issues to find which part of the process needs some work. For example.... Why were rows not created? The problem? A box was checked that should not be checked.... The alias name was not correct for the "register" node. Once you see that beautiful green "Success" message, it's time to check the challenge.  Do not be discouraged if you get a few error messages.  This superbadge is EXTREMELY picky on syntax.  A few common errors: You can see this error and st...
