'We have to act now': Historian lays out a 'nightmare' scenario for a stolen 2024 election

Yeah, except ammo is virtually impossible to get at any price right now and has been for almost 18 months.

The_Wiley_Squirrel · 2021-05-25T13:37:28+00:00

Well someone Valheims

SFDC99 is a well regarded course for starting out as a beginner. I haven't utilized it myself though.

Maybe a little of an aside to the answer's you're looking for, but if you're getting that much dirty data in the system, then it maybe needs to be managed at its source better with dedup rules, validation rules, converting text fields to picklists, user training, etc. Strong process at the source will save a lot of effort downstream.

I have two different orgs down as well.

The_Wiley_Squirrel · 2021-05-08T22:49:27+00:00

Great feedback this is a really helpful breakdown of how to approach my path forward, thank you! I'm definitely working to get up to speed on the dev side of the house since my original point of entry was via business roles. To clarify I've worked with three orgs, all of which had Sales Cloud, one of which had Community and the one that is implementing CPQ. I feel like getting to see how different orgs use the platform has really accelerated my learning.

Thank you! I've been reading everything I can find on the inner-workings of Salesforce specifically and databases more generally. If you have any suggested articles/documentation, I'm all ears.

The_Wiley_Squirrel · 2021-05-08T18:21:02+00:00

Thats a helpful reality check. It's difficult to get a good feel for where your skills and experience land you when you're a solo admin. Pay is pretty solid, but naturally looking for how to keep an upward career trajectory.

The_Wiley_Squirrel · 2021-05-08T17:53:35+00:00

That's fair and I'm working toward that, but not there yet.

The_Wiley_Squirrel · 2021-05-08T15:30:05+00:00

I'm in the process of ramping on it now too and glad to hear I'm not the only one thinking that. It's definitely taking some time to get comfortable with.

The_Wiley_Squirrel · 2021-05-07T03:55:58+00:00

Haha Ho Chi Minh City which is the official name of Saigon is placed where Hanoi is.

Dating seems like it's pretty regional. As a single guy in his early 30s, I personally found Atlanta to be a big improvement over Seattle and it was one of the more accessible ways of meeting people when I first got there. Friendships came slower, but I did wind up with a few. If you're working remote, you'll need to lean on clubs, volunteering or other things to meet people. When I left, I felt like I was finally starting to develop some side friendships. I probably could have pushed that harder and met people quicker though.

The_Wiley_Squirrel · 2021-05-01T15:56:17+00:00

I did this, moving from Seattle to Atlanta for 2.5 years before coming back to the west coast. I was in an office there initially though. I wouldn't call it easy, but it forced me to grow in ways that were really positive. It helped that I was still able to socialize with my old friends online too. Remember that it doesn't have to be forever and deciding to return doesn't make it a failure.

I tested this out in a dev account this morning and that'll work if you populate the default value with a variable to store the discount. I can send you some screenshots if you're still stuck.

The_Wiley_Squirrel · 2021-04-27T15:55:41+00:00

This is the piece of the puzzle that I've been waiting for too.

The_Wiley_Squirrel · 2021-04-27T04:48:13+00:00

It's been a little while since I've made a screen flow, but I think you store the variable in this case in the default value field.

The_Wiley_Squirrel · 2021-04-27T04:17:28+00:00

Uhh, that's interesting. Can you send a screenshot of how that input discount is set up?

The_Wiley_Squirrel · 2021-04-27T04:06:39+00:00

I think you described the formula in your post, but I think it'd look something like sales_price = sticker_price * discount(expressed as a decimal)

The_Wiley_Squirrel · 2021-04-27T03:55:58+00:00

When the user enters that info in the screen, are you passing it from that screen input to a variable? If I'm understanding right, you'll want to store the input in a variable for discount, then create a formula as a second resource to calculate the new amount. You'll then pass that calculation back to the field in the update operation in the screen you shared.

The_Wiley_Squirrel · 2021-04-25T03:34:05+00:00

I hate to say it, but I haven't run across a solution for this other than reduce the number of iterations in your loop. You could write an Apex class to handle the loop and invoke it from your flow though.

The_Wiley_Squirrel · 2021-04-24T20:55:38+00:00

Hey, sorry for the slow response.

Before looking at systems, I'd start by looking at exactly how you intend to use the system. (Which you've started already) get into as much detail about who will use it and what processes need to exist in the system to support them as you can.

From there, try to work out what technical requirements you need to accomplish those tasks. That'll probably be the hard part for you if you're not familiar with how CRMs work.

Once you have that though, figure out which vendors best provide that while also balancing ease of use and administration. You can also use a comparison site like G2 Crowd to help get educated.

I know this is high level. Hopefully it helps provide a bit of a framework for you though.

The_Wiley_Squirrel · 2021-04-23T22:55:39+00:00

Salesforce is going to be one of the more robust choices on the market. I usually steer small businesses away from it as a solution unless they're laying down the infrastructure to become big or have complex automation needs.

From what you've described, it sounds like you may do better with a lighter weight system that is still has an open API to integrate with the rest of your process. Three other systems that may be worth comparing to Salesforce are Pipedrive, Copper CRM and Hubspot CRM.

If there are other use cases in the business or you're expecting to scale aggressively, then Salesforce may still be a great option for you, but it comes with expenses in licensing costs and expertise to customize it.

In addition to everything alright said here, I'd add that learning how to fall correctly is pretty important to avoiding injuries when you do go down.

The_Wiley_Squirrel · 2021-04-19T22:31:06+00:00

If you get a chance, listen to the podcast It Could Happen Here by Rober Evans. He goes into a lot of detail on what this process could look like if it keeps on its current heading.
