Q

What Is CRM?

A

CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management. This technology allows you to manage relationships with your customers and prospects and track data related to all of your interactions. It also helps teams collaborate, both internally and externally, gather insights from social media, track important metrics, and communicate via email, phone, social, and other channels.

Q

Accounts and Contacts

A

Remember that when an opportunity is converted, an account and contact are also created in Salesforce. An account is a company you’re doing business with, and a contact is someone who works at that account. Just like with opportunities, anytime your sales reps drill into an account or contact, they need to find what they’re looking for quickly. But unlike with opportunities, with accounts and contacts your reps are less likely to need to make updates. So we’ve optimized the layout for these pages for quick reference, allowing your sales reps to find information and gather insight at-a-glance.

Q

Groups

A

Groups are the main collaboration space in Chatter. Users can organize a group around a project and add all project participants to it. Members use the group to exchange information, process a decision, and ask and answer questions. You can create a group for each of your company’s lines of business. Members use the group to discuss policies, practices, and recent events. Groups help users build, preserve, and share knowledge that’s vital to keeping everyone on track.

A

Account Hierarchies
Account Teams

65
Q

relationship rules

A

Every contact needs to be associated with a primary account.

66
Q

Related Contacts list

A

The Related Contacts list lets you view current and past relationships, and capture unique and custom details about these relationships so you always know who you’re talking to—or who you should be talking to.

67
Q

Global Enterprise Account

A

You could establish one global account and link all contacts, opportunities, cases, and so on to that single overarching account. Using one global account makes it easy to find that account’s records and to report on that account at the enterprise level. But it’s harder to manage a large mass of information, and not being able to easily view the big picture might make it hard to see what each location needs from you for your relationship to be successful.

68
Q

Location-Specific Accounts

A

Establish accounts for each location and create contacts, opportunities, cases and so on separately for each location. With this option, you maintain more accounts and need to set up a few more complex reports to get the big picture. But using multiple accounts means you can take advantage of account ownership, hierarchies, specific sharing settings, and more granular reporting. You can also more easily track and report on opportunities, cases, and other interactions for each account.

69
Q

Account Teams

A

more than one person works with each account
A Salesforce Account Team can contain up to five people, each of whom can be assigned different roles and different levels of access to the account and its opportunities and cases. Like Contact Roles, Account Teams isn’t set up automatically. An administrator must turn it on and set up the roles that each team member can be assigned.

70
Q

Opportunities

A

Opportunities are deals in progress. In Salesforce you can create opportunities for existing accounts or by converting a qualified lead.

71
Q

Opportunity Stages

A
series of stages linked to type of tasks being performed
Prospecting
Developing
Negotiation/Review
Closed/Won
Closed/Lost
72
Q

Contact Roles on Opportunities

A

Contact Roles for opportunities tell you which contacts you’re dealing with for the opportunity, and how each is related to the opportunity. You can also link contacts from other accounts to the opportunity using contact roles.

73
Q

Opportunity Team

A

Opportunity Team is a temporary group composed of people who can help you close the deal. Being a part of the Opportunity Team gives the team members special visibility into the opportunity, such as updates on Chatter.

74
Q

A

Leads are people and companies that you’ve identified as potential customers.
In Salesforce, information about leads is stored in Lead records.

75
Q

76
Q

data management plan includes

A

standards for creating, processing, and maintaining data.

77
Q

What is a report?

A

A report is a list of records that meet the criteria you define. It’s displayed in Salesforce in rows and columns, and can be filtered, grouped, or displayed in a graphical chart.
Every report is stored in a folder. Folders can be public, hidden, or shared, and can be set to read-only or read/write. You control who has access to the contents of the folder based on roles, permissions, public groups, and license types. You can make a folder available to your entire organization, or make it private so that only the owner has access.

78
Q

What is a dashboard?

A

A dashboard is a visual display of key metrics and trends for records in your org. The relationship between a dashboard component and report is 1:1; for each dashboard component, there is a single underlying report.
Like reports, dashboards are stored in folders, which control who has access. If you have access to a folder, you can view its dashboards. However, to view the dashboard components, you need access to the underlying reports as well. You can also follow a dashboard in Chatter to get updates about the dashboard posted to your feed.

79
Q

Each dashboard has a running user

A

whose security settings determine which data to display in a dashboard. If the running user is a specific user, all dashboard viewers see data based on the security settings of that user—regardless of their own personal security settings

80
Q

Dynamic dashboards

A

are dashboards for which the running user is always the logged-in user. This way, each user sees the dashboard according to his or her own access level.

81
Q

What is a report type?

A

A report type is like a template which makes reporting easier. The report type determines which fields and records are available for use when creating a report. This is based on the relationships between a primary object and its related objects. For example, with the ‘Contacts and Accounts’ report type, ‘Contacts’ is the primary object and ‘Accounts’ is the related object.

82
Q

Report type object

A

Each report type has a primary object and one or more related objects. For standard report types, you will typically see this represented in the report type name.
You can have up to four related objects, and each can have the “with” or “with or without” distinction.

83
Q

Chart component type

A

Use a chart when you want to show data graphically. You can choose from a variety of chart types.

84
Q

Gauge type Component

A

Use a gauge when you have a single value that you want to show within a range of custom values

85
Q

metric type Component

A

Use a metric when you have one key value to display.

Enter metric labels directly on components by clicking the empty text field next to the grand total.

Metric components placed directly above and below each other in a dashboard column are displayed together as a single component.

86
Q

Table type Component

A

Use a table to show a set of report data in column form.

87
Q

Visualforce Component

A

Use a Visualforce page when you want to create a custom component or show information not available in another component type.

88
Q

Dashboard filter gotchas:

A

Filters can’t be added to dashboards that contain Visualforce components.
It’s not possible to filter on bucket fields. However, it is possible to use a report filtered on a bucket field on the dashboard page.
Filters aren’t applied when you schedule or email a dashboard.
You can’t filter data on a joined report in dashboard view or add a filter to a dashboard that only has joined reports.

89
Q

Viewer access

A

With Viewer access you can see the data in a report or dashboard, but you can’t make any changes, except by cloning it into a new report or dashboard. All users have at least Viewer access to report and dashboard folders that have been shared with them. (Some users may have administrative user permissions that give them greater access.)

90
Q

Editor access

A

When you are an Editor on a folder, you can view and modify the reports and dashboards it contains, and move them to and from any other folders you have Editor or Manager access to.

91
Q

Manager access

A

With Manager access, you have the keys to the kingdom. You can do everything Viewers and Editors can do, plus control other users’ access to the folder, change the folder’s properties, or delete the folder.

92
Q

Feed Tracking

A
