Tip Sheet: Surviving the Data Portal 2018

Use Chrome to Connect to Cloud Services Associated with the Portal

#1 Create and use your Chrome profile

  • If you do not use your own, LSC can provide you a Google Account to create one

 

#2 Create bookmarks for Salesforce, Box, and Tableau

  • Tableau is a public site and does not require a login
  • Salesforce and Box may require double-authentication

#1 Duplicate a tab in Chrome. Pin it to that position.

 

#2 Close several tabs at one time to make room for more.

 

#3 Move tabs to change the order for convenience.

 

Use Search Functionality in Chrome, Salesforce, Box, and Tableau to Quickly Locate Information

#1 Use the search bar in Salesforce

  • There are different types of records in SF. Choose the correct one.
  • Information is organized into Objects. Know the ones you use most.
  • Salesforce Lightning makes this clearer in the future.

 

#2, #3 Searching for Box files in Salesforce

  • Use the widget in the organization record
  • Use the Box tab on the menu bar

 

#4 Searching Legal Services Corporation Profile in Tableau Public

  • There are also other profiles you could search for reference
  • You can create your own free profile if you would like to save favorites

Use Functionality in Chrome, Salesforce, Box, and Tableau to Optimize Recurring Use of Information Once Found

#1 Set Salesforce, Box, and Tableau to appear when Chrome opens

  • This is only work if you are logged in to your profile in Chrome

 

#2 Use the recents rail in Salesforce

  • This rail is not persistent and may be hard to locate

 

#3 Add document Bookmarks to the Box Widget

  • The permissions at the bookmark’s destination will prevail

Create Personalized Access to Information with Views and Tabs in Salesforce and Your Own HTML Page in Chrome

#1 Edit and Create Views in Salesforce

 

#2 Create customize tabs using My Settings in Salesforce

  • You must be a licensed LSC Platform User
