Completing the Partner Gold Certification

Once you’ve run through the Guided Learning program, you can also complete the Gold Certification.

This is relatively easy to do, in a few easy steps:

1. Complete the 2 exercises below, on your desktop version of Snapshot.
2. Do this by recording the exercise (here’s how)
3. Once complete, email us your outcomes.

View Creation

1. View Creation

1. Write a sale SQL query with the following columns:
   • Date
   • Customer Code / Name
   • Inventory Code / Description
   • Rep / Sales person Code / Name
   • Quantity Sold
   • Value Sold
2. Create a custom view in Snapshot using your sales query created above
3. Add the view in Snapshot to your database, using the Snapshot feature (Add View to Database).

Create a video using Screencast-O-Matic or your own screen recording software of the above process.  See below for on how to do this. Don’t record point 1, just show the completed query and then from point 2 onwards.

Dashboard Creation

2. Custom Dashboard Creation

1. Create a new custom dashboard from scratch using the view you just created.
2. Add a bar chart to display sales by value per month. Give the bar chart a header and change the axis name.
3. Add a grid to show customer sales. Show 2 different ways to represent the sales value. Give the grid a header and edit the column names to suit. Add a grand total for the sales value column.
4. Add a second grid for inventory sales. Show both the quantity and value sold.
5. Add in a gauge to sale rep / sales person sales
6. Make the dashboard interactive by enabling filtering on all components, e.g. when clicking on a month in the bar chart, all other components data is filtered to that month.
