Resetting the sample data

You can set reset the default time periods in the provided sample data according to the requirements of your Pega Sales Automation dashboard widgets.

The provided sample data uses default time periods. Many dashboard widgets in Pega Sales Automation require that data be in the current quarter or within the six month period that is immediately prior to the current date. You can use the Reset Sample Data utility to update the default time periods so that your dashboards and forecasts display current data.

  1. Log in to the Pega Platform by entering the credentials for the sfasamplesysadmin operator ID.
  2. Click Launch web interfaceSFA for Sales Ops.
  3. In the navigation pane, click Tools.
  4. Click Reset Sample Data.
    Result: When you run the Reset Sample Data utility, the application invokes the PrepareDemoData activity rule to compare the sample time periods that are provided with the current system date.
  5. Verify those time periods are created.
For example:
  • The SampleDataEndDate dynamic system setting in Pega Sales Automation stores the end date of the sample data. This setting changes for each release as the sample data is updated. The Reset Sample Data utility uses the current system date and the dynamic system setting date to compute the number of days to add to make the sample data current. For example, if the current system date is June 30, 2017 and the SampleDataEndDate value is March 31, 2017, the Reset Sample Data utility adds 90 days to the SampleDataEndDate setting to make the time periods current.
  • The logic moves created dates and closed dates.

Generating timeline data for sample contacts

After you reset the sample data, you can generate timeline data for the sample contacts.

  1. Log in to the Pega Platform by entering the credentials for the sfasamplesysadmin operator ID.
  2. Click Launch web interfaceSFA for Sales Ops.
  3. In the navigation pane, click Tools.
  4. Click Populate Customer Movie.

Resetting the artificial intelligence data
