Here's what you need to know before starting.

Prerequisites

Resources

You can use either the raw data provided or a training instance (recommended). WHAT RAW DATA? Do we really need this bit? Should we just say request a training instance?

Data

All the data used in this course is preloaded into the Actionflow Application on your training instance. If you would like a copy of he data  it is available in from the Downloads section of the Learning Centre, should you require it.Note: If you are using a training instance, this data has already been pre-loaded into the Actionflow Application.

Pre-Built Application

The pre-built application, Actionflow Application, can be found on your training instance. It contains an ERD with data and a number of screens that are referenced throughout the course. 

Application Overview

Before we dive into the course, let's first become familiar with the ERD and screens we have provided for you. Remember to not delete any tables or screen components as this may cause the processes to fail.

Module Tips and Troubleshooting

Here are our handy tips and tricks for success on in this module.

Tips for Success on this Module

  • Use the names we provide - When naming certain components, Actionflows, buttons, etc. we have provided the names to use. We recommend using these names to ensure that when these objects referenced later in the module, you will easily find the required object 
    • Likewise, avoid renaming the objects we have provided in the Actionflow Application
  • Work through the chapters in order - The chapters have been carefully constructed to ensure they follow a logical order, build on the topics covered previously and level of difficulty. Any links on the page should be considered as further reading once the module is completed to ensure a full understanding of the topic

Troubleshooting

  • If you go wrong at any point and alter your data in an unexpected way, you can roll back your test data to its original state - see Rolling Back Test Data
