Reports & Dashboards Specialist Superbadge- 4


Walking practice

Tonight is my final evening with the Reports and Dashboards Specialist Superbadge!  There are only 2 challenges left, and I hope to finish quickly in order to reserve a few hours to practice walking.  I have been standing for a while, but it is time to let go of the crib rail and take a step.  It would be embarrassing to practice and fall in front of Mom, as I am certain that she will take a video.

Challenge 5: Create contact and hobby reports
Refer to "Reports & Dashboards Specialist Superbadge - 2" if you are just joining me.  I was in the "report mood," so I configured all of the reports on night two, including the three that required a custom report type.

Challenge 6: Reports and dashboards security
I did not remember how to share a dashboard, so this article from help.Salesforce.com was useful.  Next...

  1. Moved the reports / dashboards into the specified folders.
  2. Created the Exec R&D public group 
  3. Introduced myself to Camila Martinez 
  4. Shared the executive reports / dashboards folders accordingly.
I'm off to practice walking!  Since today's blog is shorter than usual, please enjoy a few vacation photos.

      Thank you Hasan! Congratulations! I'll make sure to pass your comments to my mom. Maybe she will be so proud that she gives me a cookie.

    Hello,

    I am stuck in challenge 4 Reports and Dashboards superbadge. I am getting error "Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong:
    The 'Marketing Manager' dashboard does not have the correct headers and titles for the chart components.".

    Please help me out.

      Hi Rishikesh! I am happy to help! The error message is pretty self-explanatory. The Trailhead checker for this challenge is very particular regarding the the names of the dashboard components. I would first check to make sure that your names match the ones on the instructions. For example: Contact Hobbies - header, Type (with account rating) - title. Another easy oops: Account Value - header, Top 10 states - title. If you would include additional details in the comments with the headers/titles of your chart components, I am happy to check them.

      Hello,

      I am not able to group 'Rating' into Hot, cold and warm in the report and dashboard, eventually getting the following error in the challenge. Can anyone let me know how to group them in column grouping?

      Thanks

      Try a bucket field for the rating with a matrix report type. If you get stuck, just leave another comment :)

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 ...

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...

Lightning Experience Specialist Superbadge - 8

The best present? Santa says that I am getting a little brother in April! Let's import some data!  It's simple to mass delete the records if there are inserted incorrectly - and you have me to help!  The goal with this post is to move beyond the "how" of data import and explain the "why."  The challenge makes more sense when you think about the relationships between the objects.  I'll explain more below. First: A confession I, the Trailhead Baby, am not a perfect Salesforce admin.  Even though I completed this entire Superbadge in 2017, I still messed up the data import badly enough that I had to mass delete all of my records and start over.   Quick tip: It may help to delete the existing data before you start the import.  This way, when you extract recordID's, you only extract the ID's of the records that you have already imported vs. the records that were already in the Trailhead Playground by default. You can use many da...
