The next topic - You pick!

A serious face...I'm having deep thoughts. 
What is actually happening?  Mom promised the dogs a treat and asked them to sit.  I am sitting... hoping for a treat.  Yes. I did get a treat.  Thank you mom!
Tonight I have a serious question and would love your feedback.  What should be the next Trailhead Baby topic?  There are two options that I am considering:
  1. Conversion of a Salesforce Org from Classic to Lightning
  2. A study guide for the Salesforce Advanced Administrator Exam
Vote by leaving your thoughts in the comments.

If a new Superbadge is available, I will continue to post tips, but unless I learn to code, I have finished all superbadges that are possible with just an administrator background.  To all the Salesforce developers - You are amazing!  I wish I could do what you do.  I've tried.  I'm sticking with the "click and magic happens" approach that Salesforce makes possible!

Why the two options?
Classic to Lightning Conversion
  • Both myself and my mom are huge fans of lightning.  We love the new look, particularly the expanded reporting and dashboard options.  My mom would like her company, Capstorm, to switch to lightning, but there are many look-and-feel items that need to be adjusted before all users can be switched.  I would tackle the conversion, solely from an administrator perspective and share before & after snapshots plus tips for getting your own Organization to make the switch.
Guide for the Salesforce Advanced Administrator Exam
  •  With my new sibling coming in just a few months, I am facing a identity crisis.  What does it mean to be a big brother?  Will I have to share?  Will mom still have time to give me milk at midnight?  Will he want to be a Trailhead Baby like me?  I want to be the best big brother without my sibling catching up to my Trailhead level.  One thing that would boost my standing is obtaining Advanced Administrator credentials.  I'm a little nervous to tackle this challenge, but I am sure that we can get through it together! 
Leave a comment with the option that you would find the most interesting! 
I'll  be starting on the new challenge in just a few weeks....

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

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

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!
