Tip Sheet: Surviving the Data Portal 2018
Use Chrome to Connect to Cloud Services Associated with the Portal

- Salesforce and Box may require double-authentication
Navigate Chrome, Salesforce, Box, and Tableau to Sequentially Lookup Grantee Information
#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
