App Customization Specialist Superbadge - 2



Tricky fields.  Like my tricky little brother, these are a bit confusing.  I thought he was taking a nap, and I would have at least 20 minutes to play with mom.  Nope! He woke up after 15 minutes and wanted to eat.  Again.  I wonder how he eats so often!  I'm a big fan of snacks, but not every half hour!

Shift End Time
The field itself is not tricky, but you also have to build a rule with corresponding error message.  Note- After creating the rule, I had to deactivate it in order to pass the challenge.

Shift Hours
This is the field that left me scratching my head for a few minutes.  Key terms: "the number of hours a shift lasts."  Subtracting a end time from a start time will not give the required value.  You need a way to convert this to hours.  (This field is incorporated into other fields, so make sure you have it right before moving forward!  I did not, and had to re-do the corresponding "Total Vol Hours for Shift", "Shift Hours"- the second field with this name, etc.  Quite frustrating!

Read about the FLOOR function: Formula Operators and Functions A-H and don't forget your math: How many hours are in a day?


Volunteer Skills 
I'm just going to underline the phrase...


IsShiftVolunteer
Read the instructions and create the field with the fields in the exact order specified.
"...is automatically checked if the user looking at a record is also the Volunteer, and is unchecked if it is not..."

Volunteer Organization
A dreaded error message.  I made a mistake, and here is where accuracy becomes very important. There are two fields with the "Volunteer Organization" name with different purposes on different objects!  Ensure that the relationship field is correct, then you can easily reference it with a formula.

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...

Determine Import Order Importing Data to Salesforce using a Spreadsheet or .CSV Files                                           On the last post, we cleaned up data import files:  Removed duplicate records Merged multiple spreadsheets for the same object into one master spreadsheet per object. The data is nicely sorted, but we need to determine which order to use when uploading to Salesforce.  This is the most tricky step in a data upload operation. Why?                         Order Matters!                  Data Import Steps: 2) Determine the Insert Order The order for this data import: 1st Group - Lead ( Blue dot on diagram.) Why?
