Note Before you create the app, make sure that person accounts are enabled in your org. If
they’re not enabled, direct your admin to Configure Person Accounts in Financial Services
Cloud.
- Navigate to CRM Analytics Studio.
- Click Create, then select App.
- Select Analytics for Insurance, then click Continue.
- Take a quick look at the preview page, then click Continue to open the configuration wizard.
- To create an app or use settings from an existing app, make a selection, and click Continue.
- CRM Analytics performs a compatibility check of your Salesforce org’s data. If it uncovers any issues, you see error messages with instructions about how to address them. Fix the issues and try app creation again. If it completes the check successfully, click Looks good, next.
-
The next page of the wizard asks you to make three selections.
- The first wizard question asks how you want CRM Analytics to store data in app datasets. To capture all data from the Insurance Policy object one time each week, select Snapshot. The snapshot option results in better performance but consumes more data storage space. It also shows data starting from the weekly snapshot date and not from policy effective dates. To capture only changes made to the Insurance Policy object, select Incremental. The incremental option results in optimal use of data storage space, and dashboards show data starting from the policy effective date. But overall performance can be slower.
- Next, the wizard asks you to select a security predicate to apply to the data. To make data visible to a user based on their hierarchical role and the policies they sold, select User Role Hierarchy. To let a user view data that belongs to users below them in the hierarchy and the policies they sold, select User Manager Hierarchy. To make all data visible to anyone viewing the app, select None.
- The next wizard question asks if you want to include lead history data in your dashboards. To include it, you must enable field history tracking for the following Lead object fields: Lead Status, Name, Lead Owner, Lead Source, and Product Interest.
-
The next page of the wizard asks you to make these selections.
- The first wizard question asks if you want to include household data in your app. To include household data in your app, select Yes.
-
Next, the wizard asks if you want to calculate loss ratio based on financial account
transactions instead of policy claims. To see insights based on loss ratio, select
Yes.
Note If there’s no data in the Financial Account Transaction object, you see insights based on Claims to Gross Written Premium (GWP) instead of Loss Ratio in your dashboards. -
Next, the wizard asks if you want to filter activities by date. To see data of tasks and
events that occurred on or after a particular date, select Yes. To see
data of all tasks and events, select No.
Note If you’re not filtering activities by date, skip to Step 9. - Next, select the date for filtering activities.
- Click Looks good, next.
- Name your app, then click Create.
View the status of the app creation on the next page. The process takes a minute or two. After it’s complete, refresh the page to see your app.
Note If you see an error message that the Analytics Integration User doesn’t have access to
selected fields, edit Salesforce field-level security .
Share the app with your users. You can share it only with users assigned the admin or user permission sets for CRM Analytics for Financial Services.
- Open your app if it’s not already open. If you’ve navigated away from CRM Analytics Studio, go back to it, select All Items, find your app, and click it.
- Click the Share icon
at upper right. - In the next screen, use the search field under Invite others: to find other users in your org.
- Select whether you want to make the selected user a Viewer, Editor, or Manager of the
app.
Important Users with the “Use Analytics Templated Apps” permission and Editor or Manager access to the app can create, edit, and delete assets in the app. - Click Add, then click Save.
Note You can delete customers’ data from the Analytics for Insurance app by deleting records
from the trending and snapshot datasets. See Delete Records from Analytics for Insurance Datasets.
