Stuck on a Superbadge? A few places to find help.

Not my best moment... Help Dad! I'm stuck
I am working on the Classic to Lightning Salesforce conversion and am excited to share soon.  In the mean time, please enjoy one of my favorite quotes:
Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day.  Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.
Have you ever been stuck on a Superbage?  Not stuck where you have been staring at a screen for 10 minutes, but really, truly, completely confused.  The type of confused that tries for three days to complete one step in a challenge, and still fails.  I've been there!  Below are a few of my favorite places to find Superbage help... Let's go fishing!


The most obvious place.
The required modules leading up to Superbadge typically contain most of the knowledge that you need in order to complete each challenge.  Go back and review.  It is easy to "know" how to do a task when the instructions say "click here...then here."  It is much harder when you come to a practical application during a Superbadge challenge.  Reviewing the "click here" modules can be a huge help.
Also, if you don't understand a topic, take a refresher course! Even if the module was not required for the Superbadge, it may still be helpful.  For example: Import and Export with Data Management Tools is an excellent help if you are having trouble with a data import step.

help.Salesforce.com
If you are a reader, this is the place for you!  Search for knowledge articles and documentation that will help you with specific topics.  For example, a quick search Process Builder uncovered thousands of articles. 


developer.Salesforce.com
On the top menu bar, select Trailhead and click on the second to bottom option "Get Help."  You can post your own question or look through threads.  

For a quick answer, the classic Google search is a good option.  It will pull threads from the Salesforce developer and trailblazer communities, however, not all "answers" on a thread will be correct.  Beware of the "walk through" post as it is difficult to stop once you start looking.  Trailhead Baby does not post walk through's as the whole challenge of a Superbadge is figuring it out on your own- with a few hints along the way.

Do you have a good resource for Superbadge help?
If so, I would love to hear about it!

    None of this helps when you are stuck.

A project with Daddy: My favorite daily process! Making dinner for Mom!

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...

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     ...
