Admin Collaboration 8/24 Class

This is a student collaboration group for the New Admin Certification class that began on August 24, 2020.

I'm working on the Security Superbadge so that I can get the security settings straight in my head. Does anyone else have trouble finding things when you have the Enhanced Profile User Interface on (or off)?

 

For IP ranges, I could not find that setting at all with the Enhanced Profile User Interface disabled.

 

Conversely, when the Enhanced Profile User Interface was enabled, I could not figure out how to enable the mobile settings.

 

Some of this seems like it's designed to confuse! Settings seem to disappear depending on what setting this is on.

I'm proud to share that I took the test yesterday and passed! I found that the Focus on Force practice tests and information that goes along with them was extremely useful in helping me to understand and remember all the information.

 

I also completed the Security Specialist, Business Admin Specialist, and Lightning Experience Reports & Dashboards Specialist Superbadges. These really helped me hone my analytical skills and were essential for me since I did not have experience actually using Salesforce other than in playgrounds starting in May. 

 

Good luck to everyone who is still studying for the test!

    Hello Eileen, 

     

     congratulations on your Certification! I am also studying to get it, could you help me with Security Specialist? I check the help modules but I still can't find the bug in the first step of creating profiles and I don't know what to do anymore.  Thank you very much!  Regards, Laura.

Hello all.  I'm happy to report that I took and passed the admin exam this morning!

 

I used the Focus on Force study guide and practice exams, the SalesforceBen practice exam and the official Salesforce practice exam.

 

I really had mixed results using the flash card sets on the internet (i.e. Quizlett).  I found some of the answers were wrong which was confusing and frustrating.  There are some flashcard sites that have discussion threads/comments on them which was helpful as people would mark wrong answers.

 

I found that this set was pretty good - https://www.cram.com/flashcards/salesforce-adm-201-5248209

 

I took the SF practice exam on Sunday and scored 86% and found the certification exam to be comparable.   At times some of the questions are wordy so you just need to break them down and not freak out... :)  

 

I have a test center that is open and only 10 minutes away so I took it onsite as opposed to remote.  From what I understand, the biggest difference was they provided scratch paper so I could draw out some stuff or make notes (like I know it's either B or C) for when I went back and reviewed the ones I was unsure.

 

If there is anything I can answer or help with, let me.

 

For those that have passed the admin certification, are you working on your next cert?  I was planning on hitting platform application builder as there seems to be a good amount of overlap (and while I still have the admin info fresh in my head).

 

Good luck everyone.

Hi, all. Please help 

I have an issue here with my salesforce trailhead account, Ideally I must be able to connect to my company custom domain, I do all the necessary steps of connection I did the following:

 

Profile > Settings > Public Profile-enabled > Connected Accounts > Connect > Use Custom Domain – I entered the Domain the username and password were required > I entered them on one occasion the system then takes me back to the screen where username and password is required, on one occasion it passes straight to my trailhead playground and not my profile and it does not prompt me enter my company details,

 

Now whats strange about my username is that every time I change the connected trailhead playground the username changes, would you please assist me with this issue so that I can be able to appear on my company leadersboard, I have been struggling with this thing for quite some time now,

 

Your help will be highly appreciated

Hi, all. I happy (relieved?) to say I passed the exam on Fri 11 Dec; I took it at on-site testing facility rather than at home. I had failed the practice exam by one question, I think, but squeaked out a pass on the actual exam by one or two questions. Otherwise, my results were very similar between the two.

I'm happy to have this monkey off my back; good luck to everyone!

I'm re-watching the class videos for exam prep. By any chance, does anyone have the links from the week 4 review session? Karin mentions that she included links in the chat for business process, but I am missing these.

Hello! I hope you are all still on your way to getting certified or have already passed your certification test! I just took my test yesterday and passed! I am very excited and eager to continue learning more about Salesforce. I wanted to share some tools - the Admin Certification Prep course in Trailhead which was very helpful along with attending the Free Webinar: Preparation for your Administration Certification. The webinar was like a crash course of our virtual course and really hit on the big picture of what you need to know for exam. I wish you all the best of luck!

Thanks

I *think* I've copied and kept all of the additional links that Katrin has provided to us. Here's what I have so far. I'll try to keep this updated week to week and if I've missed anything, please add it below.

Cross object formulas are built on the child object (in a parent/child relationship) and simply display field data from the parent, on the child. Because they are formula fields, they are ready only. https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=customize_cross_object.htm&type=5

Lookup fields create a loose relationship between two records. They are also built on the child. In contrast, users can edit lookup fields and search for a record to associate. Lookup fields also appear in the interface as a clickable field that navigates you to the associated record. https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=custom_field_types.htm&type=5

Rollup summary fields are build on the master (parent) in a Master-Detail (tight relationship). They can also be created on a select list of standard related objects (see link). Rollup summary fields calculate values from related child records. https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=fields_about_roll_up_summary_fields.htm&type=5
