The Salesforce Admin’s unique capability to absorb operational business processes across the
corporate hierarchy and translate them to an efficient process to collect, share, and report on data is a
feat of strength. Any #awesomeadmin knows buried in their success is their ability to manage and
prioritize a workload that flows across departments and comes from every direction.
While admin responsibilities vary from company to company, we know
there is one need that does not change and that is the need to organize
and prioritize the requests funneling to the admin. We’ve put together a
sample business process for managing, prioritizing and collaborating on
Salesforce Requests using TaskRay. Whether this process will work
perfectly for your team or it just gives you some ideas of how to customize for your needs, we hope
this helps you understand the power of TaskRay for admins.
CHATTER ACTION
A global “Salesforce Request” action works great if all of your Salesforce users are also TaskRay users.
It’s a quick and easy to set-up a global Chatter action that your users can use to submit a new
Salesforce request. Since you can not set a predefined lookup value in Chatter Actions, you will also
want to create a workflow that will route the requests to the Inbox project upon create.
EMAIL TO TASK
OK, maybe not all of your Salesforce users have licenses to TaskRay and as much as you would like to
reduce email it’s where your users still live. Why not make it easy for them to submit their Salesforce
requests to TaskRay straight from their email? It keeps your email inbox lean, and creates tasks
directly to your TaskRay Inbox. Here’s an article on how to setup Email to Task for your organization.
TIP!
If you are more than a team of one, we suggest auto-assigning all of your
requests to a queue as they hit your Inbox. This more accurately reflects
ownership until you or one of your teammates grabs the request and assigns it.
Kanban View
TaskRay’s distinctive Kanban board visually displays your individual and team workload-think of it as a
whiteboard with sticky notes on it. Out of the box Kanban comes with four columns: Holding,
Prioritized, Started, Finished. However, you can customize those as needed for your work process.
Kanban can even support visualizing different work processes by using record types. This is ideal if
you have multiple teams using TaskRay within your Salesforce instance.
Deadline View
Want an immediate view about which tasks are overdue, coming up, or unscheduled? Use Deadline
View to manage projects and tasks chronologically. You can even quickly mark tasks complete with a
single click from this view. Very useful for daily task management or weekly planning meetings.
