New Superbadge! App Customization Specialist


A new superbadge was just announced- the App Customization Specialist!  I do not know which event I am more excited about:
  1. My new baby brother who should arrive in the next 15 days
  2. Getting started on this new superbadge!
Keep your eyes out for new blog posts about this new superbadge plus photos of my new brother! 
I am going to start him out on Trailhead as soon as I can teach him to type!

Back to playing peek-a-boo with mom.....


PS- I am very excited about Salesforce certification maintenance being moved to Trailhead! It's much easier to hop onto Trailhead than to remember my password to WebAssessor.  Thank you Salesforce!

    Would you have any suggestions regarding errors in the second challenge? I'm getting: The 'Volunteer Organization' field's filter is not configured correctly. The Volunteer Activity object is detail to Accounts and the field filter is (Volunteer Organization: Account Record TypeEQUALSVolunteer Organization Account) AND (Volunteer Organization: Volunteer Organization StatusEQUALSAccepting Activities). Would you have any hints what I may be doing incorrectly? Many thanks, DaveG

      Hello Dave,
      Your filters match what I have. This field is tricky though because you have a to create additional fields with the same name.... Have you created them yet?

      Did you filter to only include accounts with the correct record type and status?

      I think I am missing something here. I created formula fields .Where do we exactly have to apply filters? Thanks Bareera

      Here are the field filters that I applied on the Volunteer Organization field
      Volunteer Organization: Account Record Type equals Volunteer Organization Account
      Volunteer Activity: Volunteer Organization Status equals Accepting Activities
      Now I also created formula fields on following objects
      "Volunteer Job, Volunteer Shift, and Volunteer Shift Worker display the associated Organization name."
      In previous comment I mentioned all the formula fields. I dnt know where I am wrong.

      What type of field did you use for the Volunteer Organization? Once you create the "relationship field," you can reference it for the other "Volunteer Organization" fields.

      Essentially - create 1. Create the others to reference the first one.

      I created a Master Detail Relationship between Volunteer Activity and Account with these filters.
      Volunteer Organization: Account Record Type equals Volunteer Organization Account
      Volunteer Activity: Volunteer Organization Status equals Accepting Activities. Thanks Bareera

      Hello Bareera,
      (And good morning!) Your Volunteer Organization field- relationship style - looks perfect. You will still see the error until this field is also referenced/created on the other objects.

      On Volunteer Job, Shift, Shift Worker....the formula field. What data type with your formula fields are you using? Hint- You want it to display the "name"... It's a simple formula that references the original Volunteer Organization field.

      Hello, So sorry for the late reply. Here are the formulas
      Volunteer JobFormula: Volunteer_Activity__r.Volunteer_Organization__r.Name
      Volunteer ShiftFormula: Volunteer_Job__r.Volunteer_Organization__c
      Volunteer Shift WorkerFormula: Volunteer_Shift__r.Volunteer_Organization__c
      Thanks Bareera

      Hello Bareera,
      All of these formulas should point towards the same field. I recommend using the diagram from the instructions in order to determine the correct path to reach the field.
      IE- The field that you are referencing is located on which object? Every formula that you create will need to point towards that field on that object.

      I'd ask myself:
      1) Where is the field that these formulas need to point towards?
      2) How do I get there?

      The relationships between the objects are outlined on the diagram.

      Hi. I am also stuck on this challenge with the same error message. I have added the 'Volunteer Organization' master detail relationship with the same filters you said were correct. I added the 'Volunteer Organization' formula fields to the other 3 objects. These are the formulas I have for each:
      Job: Volunteer_Activity__r.Volunteer_Organization__r.Name
      Shift: Volunteer_Job__r.Volunteer_Activity__r.Volunteer_Organization__r.Name
      Shift Worker: Volunteer_Shift__r.Volunteer_Job__r.Volunteer_Activity__r.Volunteer_Organization__r.Name

      I've been working on this for awhile but can't find the problem. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

      Thanks,
      Richard

      Hey there! Are you still stuck? I hope not! I've been on a little vacation and am just catching up. I think I see the issue- Did you create an object called "Volunteer Organization"?
      The Volunteer Organization field should reside on the Volunteer Activity object - with the master/detail relationship to the account object.

      Does this help?

    Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong:
    The 'My Shifts Pending Approval' report does not have the correct columns. Confirm that ALL report columns are in place according to the requirements. Additionally, take note that of the two 'Volunteer Shift Worker ID' fields, make sure to include the one with the format Shift-XXXX so users can click through to the volunteer record.

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
