Introducing- the Trailhead Baby's mommy

Me and my momma
Hi there! Instead of tackling a Trailhead superbadge today, I'd like to introduce you to the most important person in the world: my mommy.  She's the reason that I started playing on Trailhead and became the Trailhead Baby.

For the first 6 months of my life, I was an ordinary baby - eating , napping, pooping - until I observed that mom was doing something exciting every evening on her laptop.  It looked like a game.  There were pictures!  Mom went to get a glass of water and left her laptop on the floor.  I crawled over and snuck a peek.... the rest is history!

My mom is extraordinary.
She works.  
Mom loves her job - she does marketing and business development for Capstorm.  I asked mom what "business development" means and she said that it means she drinks coffee and goes to meetings.  She must really like coffee! I know she doesn't like meetings.  Capstorm has an app for on-premises - that means on your own computer - backup of Salesforce data.  The part of mom's job that is really neat is that she helps people use Salesforce data.  One time she helped me put data into my Trailhead Playground - accounts, contacts, opportunities, and leads- without having to use a spreadsheet or data loader.  (She calls it a "point & click restore with preserved relationships.)

She leads a Salesforce user group.
Mom volunteers with the St. Louis Salesforce user group.  She does not let me go to the meetings, but I've heard that user groups are a really good place to meet other people who love Salesforce.  It sounds like a cool club.  Mom said that I can come to a meeting once I turn 5 years old. 
She's my momma.
Being my mommy is her most important job.  She takes me to the park and the pool.  Sometimes she is very silly like in the picture above.  She was tickling me!  Her favorite thing to do is to play with me and my little brother.  I try to get up as early as possible- usually 6am - every morning so that she has time to play hide-and-seek before work.  I heard mommy tell daddy that she wishes I would sleep longer on Saturday mornings, but I know that she doesn't really mean it.  Early mornings with me are the best part of her day!

If you want to meet my amazing mommy, she will be at Dreamforce!  It is her first year going, so you should say 'Hi!' and make sure that she has fun.

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.

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...
