Sample: Use rollup queries to track goals

This sample shows how to use rollup queries to track goals.

This sample requires additional three users that are not in your system. Create the three required users as is shown below manually in Microsoft 365. Replace yourorg with the organization name.

First Name: Nancy
Last Name: Anderson
Security Role: Salesperson
UserName: nanderson@yourorg.onmicrosoft.com

First Name: David
Last Name: Bristol
Security Role: Salesperson
UserName: dbristol@yourorg.onmicrosoft.com

First Name: Kevin
Last Name: Cook
Security Role: SalesManager
UserName: kcook@yourorg.onmicrosoft.com

How to run this sample

  1. Download or clone the Samples repo so that you have a local copy.
  2. (Optional) Edit the dataverse/App.config file to define a connection string specifying the Microsoft Dataverse instance you want to connect to.
  3. Open the sample solution in Visual Studio and press F5 to run the sample. After you specify a connection string in dataverse/App.config, any sample you run will use that connection information.

If you do not specify a connection string in dataverse/App.config file, a dialog will open each time you run the sample and you will need to enter information about which Dataverse instance you want to connect to and which credentials you want to use. This dialog will cache previous connections so that you can choose a previously used connection.

Those samples in this repo that require a connection to a Dataverse instance to run will include a linked reference to the dataverse/App.config file.

What this sample does

This sample shows how to use rollup queries to track goals.

How this sample works

In order to simulate the scenario described in What this sample does, the sample will do the following:

Setup

  1. Checks for the current version of the org.
  2. Retrieves the sales manager and 2 sales representatives, created manually in Microsoft 365.
  3. Creates records to support SalesOrder records.
  4. Creates a new unit group for the sample.
  5. Retrieves the default unit id that is automatically created when we created a new unit group.
  6. The Product creates few products that are required for the sample.
  7. The PriceLevel creates a new price list.
  8. The ProductPriceLevel creates a price list item for the first product and applies volume discount.
  9. Creates an account record for the sales order's potential customer id.
  10. The SalesOrderDetails adds the product to the order with the price overridden with a negative value.

Demonstrate

  1. Creates Metric, and setting the Metric type to Amount and setting amount data type to Money.
  2. The RollupField creates a rollup column which targets the actual totals.
  3. The GoalRollupQuery creates the goal rollup queries, locating the sales orders in the first sales representative's area (zip code: 60661) and with a value greater than $1000.
  4. Creates two goals, one parent goal and one child goals.
  5. The RecalculateRequest calculates the rollup for goals.

Clean up

Display an option to delete the sample data created in Setup. The deletion is optional in case you want to examine the tables and data created by the sample. You can manually delete the records to achieve the same result.
