Introduction

Welcome to the installation and configuration guide for the SalesValue Sales Enablement App for Salesforce.

Follow the below steps to get the SalesValue App quickly up and running in your organization.

Before installing the SalesValue App you need to enable Salesforce CRM content and add the permissions to the installation user. Follow these steps:

  1. From Setup, enter Salesforce CRM Content in the Quick Find box, select Salesforce CRM Content, and then select Enable Salesforce CRM Content.
  2. Give users access to Salesforce CRM Content by assigning feature licenses in one of the following ways:
    • To assign feature licenses to users automatically, from Setup, enter Salesforce CRM Content in the Quick Find box, select Salesforce CRM Content, and then select Autoassign feature licenses to existing and new users.
    • To assign feature licenses to users manually, from Setup, enter Users in the Quick Find box, then select Users and click Edit next to the user's name. Select the Salesforce CRM Content User checkbox and click Save.
  3. Verify that the Salesforce CRM Content users have the Salesforce CRM Content user permissions enabled.

Global value sets

The SalesValue app uses some global value sets that should be adjusted to your organizations requirements as well as to match you existing setup.

File class

The SalesValue App uses a custom field “File class” to map content to different file types like brochures, presentations, image, whitepaper, etc.

Update the file class list to match the type of content that you want to manage in the app for distribution to your salespeople.

To update the file class:

  1. Go to “Setup”
  2. Select “Picklist Value Sets”
  3. Select “File class”
  4. Add and edit the file class to match your organizations file types

Opportunity stages

The SalesValue App uses a custom field “Opportunity stage tags” to map content to opportunity stages.

This “Opportunity stage tags” should match your existing opportunity stages, which means that the API name of the global value set should be exactly the same name as the name of your Opportunity stage.

To update the “Opportunity stage tags”:

  1. Go to “Setup”
  2. Select “Picklist Value Sets”
  3. Select “Opportunity stage tag”
  4. Add and edit the opportunity stage tags so it matches your organizations opportunity stages

Go to the products and add relevant product group to each product.

Configure product groups

Salesforce products typically represents the full product catalogue with all the variations, e.g. if you sell iPhones two lines in the product catalogue could be:

  • iPhone 11 64gb Space Grey 6.1"
  • iPhone 11 128gb Space Grey 6.1"

This is almost the same product by with small but important variations, but when you want to manage the sales content and knowledge it will be a to detailed level. Most likely iPhone or iPhone 11 would be a more relevant level.

The SalesValue app therefore introduces a concept we call Product Groups, which links each Salesforce product to the relevant level for content management.

The list of product group should be updated:

  1. Go to “Setup”
  2. Select “Picklist Value Sets”
  3. Select “Product group”
  4. Add and edit the product groups so it matches your organizations content management requirements

Go to the products and add relevant product group to each product.

Data migration

Industry records and link to accounts

SalesValue App introduces a new Industry record. If you have had an existing industry indication on your accounts, typically a picklist value set, you want to migrate this to the new SalesValue Industry record.

To do this you can use the Salesforce Data Loader app. Read more about the data loader here:

https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=data_loader.htm&type=5

Steps to migrate existing records

First you need to create all the new Industry records, so they match your existing records, e.g. the picklist. You can do this manually unless you have a lot of records.

Then you need to do the following steps:

  1. Export all Industry records with Id and Name
  2. Export existing account records including the Id, Name and your old Industry field
  3. Put the 2 exported list into the same Excel sheet
  4. Update the Industry tab to have name in first column and Id in second column and update. Sort the Industry records by name
  5. In the accounts tab add a new column named, New Industry Id
  6. In this new column, make a lookup of the Industry id from the Industry tab that matches the old industry id
  7. Use data loader to update your account records with the new Industry Id. The field name will be “Industry__c” or “salesvalueapp__ Industry__c”
