Trailhead Baby

Money is on my mind... I would like a garbage truck Lego set that I spotted on Amazon this week, but Mom says that I need to do chores to earn money to buy it.  It is a difficult concept - usually I just ask for things, and they show up.  Mom has never mentioned chores when I kindly point out that we are out of pull ups or ice cream.... However, she insists that I earn the garbage truck by doing chores.   With this in mind, I decided to start on the Financial Services Cloud Specialist Superbadge.  I learned from the pre-work modules that I can set a life event, establish my household...etc.  These seem like good steps to take in order to show Mom that yes, we should buy this garbage truck... And perhaps I will do some chores as well.  I am sure that the dog needs a bath and the rugs need to be vacuumed.  Most Superbadges do not have crucial information in the pre-work! This badge is an exception. 7. Make sure My Domain is enabled and deployed to a...

The weather has been too nice to be inside, so Trailhead Baby has been out and about - biking, swimming, fishing, and a little bit of boating.  Mom went a little crazy with the sunscreen (see photo), but she did let me drive the boat.  My hope is to use this experience to convince her that I should be allowed to borrow our mini-van.  If you are reading this mom - I promise to be very careful! In between my biking, swimming, fishing, and boating adventures, one of my summer goals is to pick up a few more Salesforce certs.  Trailhead Baby is already proud to be the youngest....  This month's goal was to add the Platform App Builder cert. And, yes, I did! Here's how Trailhead Baby passed the Platform App Builder exam on the first try: Step 1 Assess Skill Level to determine how much work needs to done! Practically.   How much of this Trail on Trailhead have you done? 86% Not bad! Step 2 Get some help!  I can't say enough good words about Focus On Forc...

Today's mission: Find a pirate treasure and finish the Advanced Billing Specialist Superbadge! Did I find a treasure? Yes! Did I finish the superbadge? No! Trailhead Baby is still stuck at Challenge #9...but read on for some hints about steps 7 & 8. Here are a few error messages..... Want to get rid of this error message?  Create a Workflow rule. There should be two rule criteria. In Trailhead Baby's quest to trigger every possible error message... I did not activate my workflow rule before checking the challenge again....  (Who am I kidding? I simply forgot to activate the rule!) The secret to passing this step is these words:  ...when an invoice's due date is more than 30 days in the past More than 30 days... not 30!  Stuck?  Just write a comment with some details of what you have currently.  A pirate and Spiderman... looking for treasures in the sand....  Start step 8 by going incognito....

Today was a fabulous day.. I made a huge mess with shaving cream then decided to tackle the Advanced Billing Specialist Superbadge instead of taking a nap.  I was very cranky later that evening.... Here's the error that you get when clicking "check challenge" without doing anything: If you are reading this blog, I expect that you've probably already checked out this thread on the Salesforce community... just in case you have not.... I found help for step 5 here: https://success.salesforce.com/answers?id=9063A000000eUHOQA2 Trailead Baby is very limited in what can be posted about this challenge, because it would be too easy to just give the answers away.   Here is one hint: If you have to decide whether to create a Revenue Schedule, the answer is always YES! Stuck? Just leave a comment with what you have... and you must might get a reply! Ready for step 6? Take a deep breath - This step isn't that bad.. One of Trail...

Trailhead Baby's quest continues- Complete the Advanced Billing Specialist Superbadge on Trailhead while triggering every possible error message. Hopefully these errors will help you too! Let's start Step 3 with Trailhead Baby's favorite error message... The message that you trigger without doing anything but clicking... This helpful error message started me in the right direction to complete the step... create a GL Account record.  After I created these records, it was time to see what should be done next by clicking "check challenge" a second time....  Ah ha! A GL Rule is needed next! Which leads us into error 3.... I am a big fan of helpful error messages, but this is getting to be too much.  I suppose if I create all of the items listed in this, then I can pass step 3 of the superbadge?  Yes?  Almost! There is space for just one more.... I think that's enough error messages until after lunch.... Did you find any ...
