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?

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...

Business Administration Specialist Superbadge- 3 & 4

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! Reports Accounts by Market To create the "Market" row grouping, use a bucket field. Make sure that the correct date range is selected. High Value Residential  This report includes: 1 filter, 1 grouping, and 1 summarized field.  Rated Accounts by State The record count for state and account rating are automatically added. Note the filter.  ...

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...
