Salesforce Learning: Trailhead
Trailhead is a free place where you can learn about generic Salesforce platform functionality and earn badges! This will help you understand more about the underlying Salesforce platform on which ascend is built. To get started:
- Create a Salesforce Trailhead account with your UVA email by visiting https://trailhead.salesforce.com/ and clicking the blue “Sign Up” button on the top right. Sign up using the email option and be sure to use your UVA computing ID email address (not your alias). Once you have an account, when you want to access it, you will visit the link above and log in. They will send a login code to your email each time you need to log in.
- Check out this UVA-curated list of Salesforce Trailmixes and Credentialing Info. You can follow Trailmixes you are interested in, so they show up in your “My Trailmixes” space in Trailhead. This keeps them handy in one place.
- Everyone should start with the Basics:
