Apparently the coffee was not strong enough this morning... error messages galore! (And I made a mess with breakfast!)  The part that makes me feel silly?  All of the superbadge error messages can be avoided by a careful reading of the instructions.  I hope you find my errors helpful!  Do you have an error that isn't listed?  Leave a comment, and I'll take a look!


Creating custom report types- remember to deploy! 
If you do not deploy, you can see the report as an admin...but nobody else can!


This is a helpful error message if you are having trouble showing records only applicable to a particular volunteer. 


This error message is incredibly frustrating! I played with the report for a few hours before finally having a "eureka!" moment!  The secret is in the instructions:
"...create a Summary report grouped by Volunteer Organization showing each organization's cumulative hours and no other columns."
"No other columns" includes the "# of shift hours" field.  You can sort a field by a value that is not included within the report.  Try double clicking on the hours field on the far left within the fields menu... got it?  Then summarize the Volunteer Organization group by that field.


Not suprisingly, this error message is essentially the same issue at the "My Top Volunteer" organizations problem.  Remember to refresh your dashboard before checking the challenge! 


Now I'm just getting sloppy.... I think it's time for a nap.

Final tips for this step:
  • Watch those dashboard names! They do not all match the report names.
  • Keep an eye on the sort column for each dashboard component.

How to Guide: Process Builder - Stop! Which tool?

Which tool? What is the Trailhead Baby's secret to dominating process builder challenges?  It's simple: Stop Think Click Before I start clicking, I consider which Salesforce tool is the best fit to solve the challenge.  I'm not - yet - an Apex guru, so coding is not an option.  How do you pick between Process Builder, Flow, Workflow, and Approvals?   Check out this chart from developer.Salesforce.com  Essentially, process builder offers the most flexibility, and I usually prefer it unless�. User interaction is necessary or you need to update a non-related record = use flow. (Or trigger a flow through process builder!  I try to keep my flows as simple as possible.) You need to send an outbound message (not an email alert) = use workflow. Something is being approved = approval process. (duh! ) When in doubt, look for clues.  You may recognize some of these from Superbadges.  �This approval process...is available whenever the opportunity stage i...
