Editor's Notes
- Key Message Salesforce is a publicly traded company. Customers should make buying decisions only on the products commercially available. Talk Track Before I begin, just a quick note that you should base your purchasing decisions on products and services that are currently available.
- There are a few concepts from EA that are good to know. I've tried to compare them with std reporting though it two tools that work differently. Datasets are our data, the way we structure our objects, so it's similar to what report types do. To create this structure we use the dataflow. Once we do a single exploration with measures and groupings that is a lens similar to a report. Dashboards is well dashboards. And instead of folders in EA we use apps, but works in the same way as folders controlling access.
- How many of you have experience that your std report times out? We don't have the same issue in EA since we grab the data from the objects we need and put in a flat file. Once we have that we can index the columns - similarly to what you have in a book that uses an index in the back of it - so we can quickly find what we are looking for. Key thing is we can bring any data together and even do some data prep before we allow user to explore the data in lenses and dashboards. And btw we don't need to save a lens to use it in a dashboard.
- Another thing to be aware off is that in order for us to combine data freely in EA we look at the most detailed level. To the left you will see how std reports work, we start at the top and become more detailed with each level - until we reach the 3rd level. In EA we turn this around and start with oppty line item and then add more detail to it looking upwards. You can add as many objects as you want as long as they have a relation.
