Learning Einstein Analytics

Setting Up Einstein Analytics

Before starting to build the dashboard, lenses, and applications, it is important to set your organization and define user types so that they are available to use. We discussed concepts and terminologies and the importance of Einstein Analytics in the previous chapter. This chapter walks you through simple steps that will set up your organization to use the Einstein Analytics platform.  

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics: 

  • The Einstein Analytics platform setup process
  • Creating permission sets and user licenses 
  • Assigning permission set to users
  • Einstein limits

The Einstein platform setup process

Now that you have logged in to your special developer edition for Einstein Analytics, let's set up your organization for Einstein. Following are the basic steps to set up Einstein Analytics:

  1. Enable Einstein Analytics for your organization
  2. Define the main Einstein user types
  3. Create permission sets to group related user permissions according to the needs of each user type
  4. Assign a permission set to an individual user, which also auto-assigns Analytics Cloud --the Einstein Analytics platform permission set license to that user

Enabling Analytics

Once you have signed up and verified your email ID, the next step is to log in to Salesforce. It is important to know that Salesforce...

Summary

You can build other permission sets out of individual permissions enabled by the Sales Analytics license, depending on the needs of users in your organization. In this chapter, you learned about the setup process of Analytics, and you also saw how to enable Analytics for your organization. We also covered how to create permission sets and define user types. The user types can change and increase depending on your requirement. Once you assign a permission set to a user, the permission set license is auto-assigned to that user.

In the next chapter, we will cover designing, creating, and scheduling dataflows.

We will also see what a dashboard is and the types of dashboard in Einstein Analytics. We will explore the use of pre-built dashboard templates and create a Wave Designer Dashboard using the Summary Dashboard template.

Author seems to be totally confused about the topic they are writing about. There is EA platform then there are EA applications (Sales Analytics, Service Analytics, other partner apps) then Einstein Discovery (ED) that is a sister product for ad-hoc ML and then there is core Einstein platform (not part of EA, that includes image recognition, sentiment analytics, etc, and has nothing to do with EA). It is amazing that anyone can pass as an expert these days. Unfortunately, books like these end up creating confusion and frankly do a disservice to an amazing analytics platform that is Salesforce Einstein Analytics and Salesforce Einstein.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team. 

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
