Lightning Experience Rollout Specialist Superbadge - 7

No lightning...just rain

Challenge 7
For us who have completed the Reports and Dashboards Specialist Superbadge, challenge 7 shouldn't take much time.  If you are not as familiar with reports and dashboards in Salesforce Lightning, read on.  Below are tips for step 7 and a few gotchas.

The order:
The instructions under "Set Up Reporting for Sales Managers" provide a decent timeline with which tasks to complete first.  I made a few tweaks.
  1. Read the instructions!  Gotcha #1:  A single report is needed to create all of the dashboard components.
  2. Craft the Opportunities Pipeline report - add all of the groupings specified by the dashboard components. 
  3. While you are still on the report, schedule the report to be sent to John Wiseman every Monday.
  4. Create the dashboard
  5. Add the 3 components.  Gotcha #2:  Use the correct labels! 
  6. Add the dashboard filter.  Gotcha #3: Use all of the stages, but not the "all" option. 
  7. Set the "View Dashboard As" setting by clicking edit then selecting the gear icon on the top right.   Gotcha #4: A private dashboard can not be dynamic.

      Hello! I just got back from a beach trip and am catching up with comments! Are you still stuck? This error message seems odd if you are on challenge #7. Are you on this step or perhaps on challenge #6? If so, I'd make sure that the created "Key Sales Data" lightning page was activated. (Look in the upper right when you create a page for the "activate" button.)

    Hiya! Task itself not super tricky although I was unsure of how to embed a graph to the accounts page and rename it. I think I have done it but get error " The Account record home page may not be activated." Any suggestions?

      Sure! Far right of the editor... see the "activation" button? I'd bet you need to enable for all profiles - unless the instructions say otherwise. Got it?

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...
