Lightning Connect Quickstart
Hello I've installed Lightning Connect Quickstart via trailhead. Step 4 says select the External Orders app. Question - where is External Orders app found? After I find it I need to click Set Customer IDs to assign customer ID numbers to the sample account records in my Developer Edition.
I believe this "External Orders app" is already created in Step 1 of this trailhead module. see this (https://trailhead.salesforce.com/projects/quickstart-lightning-connect/steps/quickstart-lightning-connect1).
OR
1. Go to bit.ly/lightning-connect-quickstart-v1.
2. Go through the package installation, accepting the defaults at each step.
3. From the app menu in the top right, select the External Orders app.
4. Click Set Customer IDs to assign customer IDs to account records in your hands-on org. Return to the Sales app via the app menu.
Troy, like this Answer and mark it as best if it helps.
Thanks
Salesforce has two different desktop user interfaces: Lightning Experience and Salesforce Classic. This project is designed for Salesforce Classic.
Once you switch to Classic, it will be in the dropdown in the top-right. I ultimately discovered this by going to Setup > Managed Apps, and seeing that External Orders classified as a Classic app.
I did all of this:
"Install the Schema Package
Your Trailhead Playground needs the custom field Customer ID on the Account object. This field allows you to link orders from an external data source to accounts in Salesforce. This package configures the new field and populates it with data.
To install the package, launch your playground by scrolling to the bottom of this page and clicking Launch. If you see a tab in your org labeled Install a Package, great! Follow the steps below.
If not, click App Launcher to launch the App Launcher, then click Playground Starter and follow the steps. If you don’t see the Playground Starter app, copy this package installation link and check out Install a Package or App to Complete a Trailhead Challenge on Trailhead Help.
Click the Install a Package tab.
Paste 04tE00000001aqG into the field.
Click Install.
Select Install for Admins Only, then click Install.
When the package is finished installing, you see a confirmation page and get an email to the address associated with your playground. Once the package is installed, go back to your Trailhead Playground and initialize the data you'll need for this project."
and found that everything went as expected when I implemented these instructions.
But here is where I get stuck and cannot proceed:
"1. From the app menu in the top right, select the External Orders app.
2. Click Set Customer IDs to assign customer IDs to account records in your hands-on org. Return to the Sales app via the app menu."
And I see the next line:
"Remember, this project is meant for Salesforce Classic. When you launch your hands-on org, switch to Salesforce Classic to complete this challenge."
But how do I switch to Classic?
Then, how do I select the External Orders app?
