A new updated version of Lab 3b has just been posted. The update includes a few minor clarifications that should help students avoid snags.


The Lab 3b file in that same Google Drive folder has been updated in place so you can just download it again now to have the new version. Please download and distribute to your students going forward.


Here's the link again so you can go directly to that folder now:



We've also made a number of tweaks to improve the grader app as well as the Help FAQ. No need for you to do anything for those - the students will be accessing the new versions automatically.

 
 
 

Based on our troubleshooting experience with the new Flow version of 3b so far this Fall, we've made several clarifying tweaks to that lab that should help students have a smoother experience.


While we were at it, we did the same for 1a, 1b and 3a, too.


The 1a, 1b, 3a and 3b files in the Google Drive folder have been updated in place so you can just download them again now to have the new version.


Here's the link again so you can go directly there now:



None of these updates change anything the students do–these are merely tweaks to wording or the embedded screencaps to make things clearer. But they should make life easier for students and our troubleshooters too!


So thank you for getting these into your students' hands. Apologies for the hassle. We really appreciate your support!

 
 
 

Due to impending changes in one Salesforce feature (workflow), all instructors should make sure they are distributing the most current version of the lab docs which were last updated on July 11.


As always, the most current version of the lab docs is found in that same Google Drive folder here:



The new version is particularly important for Lab 3b because Salesforce is retiring the old process automation tool, Workflow, and migrating everyone to their newer, more sophisticated tool, Flow. The new 3b instructions are adapted to use Flow. We took out Steps 33-57 (Workflow) and replaced them with Steps 33-71 (Flow). The steps before that have not changed. The steps after that section are the same too–they just got pushed down so now there are 14 more steps total, ending with Step 158. That length matches 3a now which was already 158 steps.


There are some other minor clarifications made to some of the other labs and the Pre-lab has been revised to make it more concise. All postings in the Pre-lab are now 1 page or less. We're hoping students will be more likely to actually read it.


The new version of the grader has just been posted. It accounts for the Flow steps added to Lab 3b.
