Problem posting snapshot of dashboard on chatter feed.


This is the trailhead challenge I'm working on.
Create a report of Opportunities grouped by Type. Then follow the dashboard and share a snapshot on Chatter.
Name the report 'Opportunities by Type' and save it to the 'Unfiled Public Reports' folder.
The report must be of type Opportunities.
The report format must be a Summary report.
The report must be grouped by 'Type'.
The date range should be for All Time.
You can include any columns you like, but must include 'Amount' as one of the columns.
Create a dashboard named 'Opportunities Dashboard' and save it to the 'My Personal Dashboards' folder.
Create a dashboard component on the dashboard using the report you just created.
Set the header to 'Opptys by Type' and the title to 'For all time' for the dashboard component.
Use the horizontal bar chart dashboard component, and ensure the record count is displayed on the x-axis.
Follow the 'Opportunities Dashboard' dashboard in Chatter. Make sure that Feed Tracking is enabled for Dashboards first.
Post a snapshot of the 'Opptys by Type' dashboard component to Dashboard Chatter feed.

But I'm getting the following error when I check if the challenge has been completed
Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
The dashboard snapshot post to Chatter was not found.
Can someone hepl me?
If possible post the snapshots?

Did you ever figure this out? I am getting same error. My problem is when i hover over a dashboard I'm not getting the "Post snapshot to chatter feed" like it says I should be getting. I went in and enabled the Dashboard Component Snapshots checkbox as well.

Hey guys, you need to go into Setup -> Chatter -> Feed tracking.

 

Click on Dashboard and enable feed tracking for all 5 check boxes. Then, go back to your Dashboard and hover over it, there should be a drop down where you can not snapshot to Chatter Feed.

Uhggg why is that working for everybody else but me ? When I hover it just says, "click to go to full report" ??? HELP!
Jennifer JordonJennifer Jordon
Nevermind George Vazquez was right, but it should be specified that you have to click eack individual section and then turn on feed tracking for each section not just on the main page. Thanks George!
Samuel StevensSamuel Stevens
I'm having the same problem with just getting "click to go to full report". 
Jennifer or George - can you explain further what you mean "it should be specified that you have to click eack individual section and then turn on feed tracking for each section not just on the main page." 
Samuel StevensSamuel Stevens
I figured it out now - I didn't have feed tracking turned on for dashboards. Pretty confusing though!

Please follow the path 

Setup -> Customize -> Feed tracking -> select Dashboard in the list 

then Click each individual check box and turn on the feed tracking option by clicking the check box .

Tank you @George Vazquez 
It worked for me after enabling all in settings
"Click on Dashboard and enable feed tracking for all 5 check boxes."

I am now having the same problem, but have enable feed tracking. 
Can anyone share insight on this?
Thanks!

I enabled feed tracking on the Dashboard and Reports but you do then have to be in Classic mode in order for the hover button to show up. It wasn't working in Lightning.
Clayton BurkleClayton Burkle
This is not working for me either despite having all tracking fields enabled.

@Clayton Burkle I'm Having the same issue. Seems a lot of trailheads are having issues since their last release. 
Steve Rubin, Certified Sr. ProjectSteve Rubin, Certified Sr. Project
Thanks all. The screen shots helped me. It's too bad that the instructions on the Trailhead weren't as precise. Very frustrating. 
Andrew MontemayorAndrew Montemayor
Evan Springer had the answer for me. Once I switched to Classic, I was able to see the hover button and complete the challenge. Thanks Evan!
Josh StigallJosh Stigall
This is, at least, the second challenge in this Trailhead that requires classic to be validated. Would be helpful to add that in the description.

In case anyone else is also still having issues with this, the screenshots above plus:
- make sure that posting snapshot from the dashboard (at the bottom) and not reposting your failed previous shares.

I have got virtually everything here working in Lightning with one important exception - when I click on the Share Component button from within a Report within a Dashboard, or when I click the same button from the Dashboard itself, I can see a Chatter feed, yet have no ability to actually Post to Chatter there.  This, even though I can post to Chatter elsewhere in my org.  Any suggestions?

If anyone is still having an issue with this, and you started the process in Lightning... what you need to do is delete the old report/dashboard and follow ALL of the steps in Salesforce Classic.

Thank you @Mahesh P 20 and all

Finally got this to work when I switched to Classic and followed the steps. Phew!

It worked only if I switched to Classic In Lightning it didnt work
 
Fahri KivancFahri Kivanc
Unfortunately, this snapshot action does not work in Lightning. So, if you want to pass that unit in Trailhead, you have to switch to Classic version. You should also enable feed tracking options for dashboard in the setup.
Roc TorioRoc Torio
It didn't specify on the steps to enable feeds on the 'Dashboard'. Do that and your off!

I followed all suggestions posted here:
1. I enable the Feed Tracking
2. I check on all 5 fields in Dashboard
3. I am in classic view
4. I posted snapshot to Dashboard Feed
5. I can see the feed in Chatter
I still get the error message. What am I missing here?

I'm with Sue Go 9.  What can we try next?

Your instructions worked.  Thx.

I am also facing similar issue, the dashboard is posted on chatter but Trailhead challenge says "The dashboard snapshot post to chatter was not found". What I am missing?  #Trailhead Issue.

@Nitika, you have to change Salesforce back to Salesforce Classic, and then go to the Dashboard and use the drop down shown on the trailhead module to post it to Chatter. This doesn't work in Salesforce Lightning.
Nitika Semwal 11Nitika Semwal 11
@Tom Floyd, I did in Classic too but same issue. The Chatter is showing the post but the trailhead says

Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
The dashboard snapshot post to Chatter was not found.

See my comments & screenshot posted earlier, it worked for me.

For anyone still experiencing this issue, you have to build the dashboard and add (and name) the component in classic [in addition to all the other feed tracking, etc.]. Lightning doesn't allow you to name the component, it just grabs the report name. I went around and around on this until I noticed my snapshot said untitled component. Trailhead apparently looks for the component name. Good luck
Tim McManamonTim McManamon
After reading all of this, I thought I would try starting over to make sure I build the report and dashboard in Classic.  But when I try to create new reports, I'm unable to save the reports because the names are still in the cache.  Rats.

Wow! After breaking my head re-doing every step, finally Evan Springer's solution worked!
Change over to Classic and the hover-mode shows up magically
Josh KlabundeJosh Klabunde
For anyone who has switched to classic in order to post the snapshot heed this advice: Using a report or dashboard made in lightning will fail this trailhead. You must start in Classic, and then create the report, dashboard, and component (with title) in classic before you post the snapshot in order to pass this trailhead.

I worked on this assignment in Classic from the beginning but I still get the error message... Anyone any idea what I can do? Followed all the steps that were mentioned earlier
makarand gajaremakarand gajare
type ' feed tracking' in search box and enble all the three boxes for dashboard.
Howard LubingerHoward Lubinger
Anyone figure this out?
I've:
1) Enabled Field Tracking for both Dashboards and Reports and selected all the fields
2) Followed the dashboard
3) Enabled Dashboard Component Snapshots in Reports and Dashboards

What am I missing??

1) Enable Field Tracking for Reports and Dashboards.
2) You need to follow the dashboard from the dashboard list.
3) You will get the hover button to Post Snapshot to Dashboard Feed.
Howard LubingerHoward Lubinger
Ah.  It has to be done in Classic.  Thank you!
Ionut GavazIonut Gavaz
You need to do 2 things in order to complete this challenge:
1. Go to Setup->Chatter->Feed Tracking and check Enable Feed Tracking
2. Post the snapshot using the Classic interface, not the Lightning version. 

Hope it helps.

Cheers,
Ionut

This took way too long to troubleshoot. Followed the suggestions here but still wasn't passing. Finally I switched to Lightning to view the chatter feed and checked the challenge again, and this time it worked. Not sure why you'd have to do that when the challenge itself needs to be done in Classic...
Doug MobleyDoug Mobley
I also struggled with this. But I had to switch to classic in order to see the drop down arrow along the perimeter of the component allowing you to post. I could not do it in Lighting. 
Jason AdkinsJason Adkins
Even in Classic I still seem unable to find the pop up that allow you to post snapshot to dashboard or group feed.  Feel like I am searching for some hidden item with my cursor, driving me crazy.  Any other thoughts?  All I can see is "click to view full report"....

For all of those who still having the same problem, I was facing the same issue. All you need to do is to create a new org and do every thing with salesforce classic, BUT you need to switch to lightning in order to add TYPE to the GROUP ROWS and then go back to salesforce classic and complete the task normally.
Don't forget to
1.setup - > reports and dashboards setting - > Enable Dashboard Component Snapshots -> save
2.setup - > Chatter - > feed tracking -> select dashboard in object -> enable 7 checkbox) -> save
