Hello,

I'm in the Create a Trailhead Playground module, and it states that I will not need to manually create a Trailhead Playground, however the Hands on Challenge just states "Please hold while our robots build your Trailhead Playground" and "our robots are currently working" and I've been on the page for hours. Nothing gets built and I cant complete the challenge. I've tried different browsers such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, and Mozilla Firefox. I've used both a MacOS operating system and a Windows. I don't know what is going on. Can anyone help or advise how to manually build this? I currently cannot complete any Salesforce challenges.

I'm working through the Trailhead module on Account and Contact relationships (Learn CRM Essentials for Salesforce Classic > Accounts & Contacts > Understand Account and Contact Relationships https://trailhead.salesforce.com/trails/getting_started_crm_basics/modules/admin_intro_accounts_contacts/units/admin_intro_accounts_contacts_relationships)

It walks you through adding Related Contacts to the Account page, and then creating a related Contact through it. 


I run into an error when I create a new Contact off of that screen: "Error: You can't associate a private contact with an account.".


So, the steps are:
1: Account page
2: Click [Add Relationship] button in Related Contacts section
3: On the 'New Account Contact Relationship' click the Contact search icon
4: Click the [New] button
5: Enter the Contact info and click [Save]. The pop-up closes. (note: there is NOT an 'Account' field on this page.
6: Click [Save] button on the 'New Account Contact Relationship' page. The error is displayed. 

The only thing I've been able to do is exit these screens, go find the newly created Contact, edit it and add an Account, then go back and add the relationship.

How do I prevent this situation?

Thank you!



 

Greetings all.

I'm aspiring to be a SFDC admin and I'm currently in an unrealted field.  I've been studying Salesforce (Trails, Fundamentals, Udacity, etc) for about 3 months now for roughly 15 hours a week, so I'm pretty familiar with terminology, etc.

I'm going to be interviewing for a job soon and my prosective employer was nice enough to give me a list of tasks/items to be able to complete.  These include: creating new objects with formulas, lookups, etc., creating reports and dashboards, adding new users to an org and assigning them different page layouts, etc, and analyzing existing dashboards and reports to find "broken" aspects.

I've gone through all of the Trails (except developer) including the Admin Trails twice.  I can follow directions (point here, select this, click here) until I'm blue in the face and do the challenges, which are pretty easy, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how I'm going to stude the aforementioned items for my job interview and when I try creating things on my own, (without guidance), I find myself getting confused and frustrated.

Obviously I don't have any real-world experience in SFDC Administration yet.  What other resources will help me make sure I have the interview items down pat?  I'm looking for resources where I'll be given a more complicated task to complete than the challenges on the trails.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.  Here are a complete list of the resources I've studied so far:

-SFDC Admin Trails (and all other trails except Developer beginner and intermediate)
- Zero to Hero: http://www.adminhero.com/zero-hero/
- Salesforce Fundamentals: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.fundamentals.meta/fundamentals/
- Focus on Force (Study Guide and 201 practice exams) http://focusonforce.com/
- Udacity Salesforce Training: https://www.udacity.com/course/intro-to-point-click-app-development--ud162
- Salesforce CRM Definitive Handbook: https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Paul_Goodey_Salesforce_CRM?id=POfBGSjfaikC
I'm going to be starting the reporting workbook tomorrow: https://resources.docs.salesforce.com/sfdc/pdf/workbook_analytics.pdf

Best,

Chris
