Get Ready for the Superbadge: Object Relationships

Introduction to Superbadges

Heads-up! A superbadge is different from other learning on Trailhead. It's a hands-on technical skills assessment where you take business requirements and apply your skills to build something amazing, without the step-by-step guidance. We have provided recommended learning and Help articles filled with resources to aid you along your journey. The estimated completion time assumes prior experience with the superbadge concepts and completion of the recommended learning. Your hard work will pay off!

Assessment Objectives

In this superbadge, you’ll:

1. Determine the appropriate data model for standard and custom objects.
   
2. Configure object relationships with standard and custom objects.
   
3. Explain unique relationships of standard objects.
   
4. Build an app in App Builder.

Prework and Notes

Sign Up for a Developer Edition Org with Special Configuration

To complete this superbadge, you need a special Developer Edition org that contains specific configuration and sample data designed to work with the challenges in this superbadge.

Important

Sign up for the free Developer Edition org with special configuration. Follow the instructions in the “Verify Account” email to log in and complete the sign-up process. Keep your org credentials handy. Store your Developer Edition org's username and password somewhere secure, like a password manager, so you can find them later. If you don't log into this org for 30 days, you may be asked to reconnect it to Trailhead before you can continue your hands-on work.

Connect Your New Developer Edition Org to Trailhead

• Make sure you’re logged in to your Trailhead account.
  
• Select Connect org from the Choose a hands-on org screen.
  
• On the login screen, enter the username and password for the Developer Edition org you just set up.
  
• On the Allow Access? page, click Allow.

Use Case

Art Tenor has managed some of the most successful bands over the last 25 years, including Run SFMC, the Feed Fighters, and Metadatallica. His newest band, Flow & the Low Codes, dropped their first album, “A Momentary Lapse of Memory” four months ago. The album and their hit song “No More Mr. Wi-Fi” has risen to number one on the alt-rock charts, and the team at Tenor Management is putting together the band’s first world tour.

As the Salesforce admin for Tenor Management, you are responsible for uploading and tracking all of the band’s songs, album information, tour data, and more, in one single World Tour Manager app that you will be creating. Get ready because you will be asked to make regular changes, updates, and reports for the management team, the band, and other parties as requested.

Standard Objects

The World Tour Manager app will use these standard objects.

• Account: Venues for shows, vendors, streaming services, studios, and fans.
  
• Contact: Fans, venue personnel, agents, producer, or manager.
  
• Campaign: Tours (or groups of performances) by a particular band or a combination of bands (such as a music festival). Examples: World Tour, Errors Tour, and the Trailblazer Tour.
  
• Campaign member: These are contact records related to a campaign.
  

Custom Objects

As the Salesforce admin, you are responsible for maintaining the custom objects that interact with standard objects to keep track of all the elements that go into a tour. These custom objects represent details such as new songs, track lists, and even guest performers that can be updated and shared with stakeholders. The custom objects include:

• Song: Includes fields such as Written by, Duration, Album, and so on.
  
• Album: A collection of songs released together with band and production information, artwork, and bonus tracks.
  
• Track list: A list of songs for a live show.
  
• Artist: These are the singers, writers, and performers involved with the songs, albums, and even tours if it’s a guest artist performing with the band on a particular night.
  
• Performs On: This object is used to connect Artists to Songs, in the future Art wants to be able to connect Artists to Albums too, however, that is out of scope for right now.
  

Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD)

Review the current model in Schema Builder and the diagram to understand how the band is using standard and custom objects. The entity relationship diagram illustrates these relationships.

• The Account object has a master-detail relationship from the Contact object.
  
• The Play Tracker object has required lookups with the Account and Song objects.
  
• The Campaign object has a many-to-many relationship with the Campaign and Contact objects through the Campaign Member object.
  
• The Campaign and Song objects have a many-to-many relationship with the Track List object.
  
• The Song and Artist objects have many-to-many relationships with the Performs On object.
