Video Overview

Below is a detailed video overview. You can skip to specific sections by hovering on the timeline or clicking on the play bar's chapter list.

For most companies when you first install the application only system administrators will have full access. They can however assign one of our two predefined permission sets to other Salesforce users. The standard permission set allows a user to see our application, the full permission set gives an additional settings tab.

There is a tab called Emma which allows a person to access Emma without leaving Salesforce, for most companies all Salesforce users are allowed to access Emma without restriction. However, if you want to change that so some users see a restricted view then please review this Section.
‍
The Emma tab will connect/display as the Emma user who initially connect the two systems. The Emma connecting user can be found on the general settings tab within the sync page.  

Emma for Salesforce includes custom objects to store Emma data in Salesforce records.These obey standard Salesforce security and ownership rules. If you want a Salesforce user to have access to our application but want to control the records they see please check out this Section.
