General Notes
All pathways listed below are for Box file folders
If the Tableau dashboard gives an Authentication error switch internet browsers. If it
persists, come back later
If Tableau is not allowing you to export the data as “Data” in the drop down, click into
the charts and try again
When pulling the “Execution Details by Client” report, pull each utility individually.
Otherwise the system will drop out lines of information
When pulling “Ticket Assignment Details,” you can pull all utilities at once
There are example files for all of these reports on the internal side of Box
As a best practice, keep an internal and client version of files. Although often identical,
it’s good to have as a backup just in case

Of particular note are the Reporting Master and EOM Reporting files
Year to Date Event Count
o Usually pull data from posted events on the client side of Box
o This document is simply a comprehensive list of events. It helps with EOM

o Example at: “CLIENT NAME””CLIENT NAME” Client Documents2018Events
Calendar
20th of the Month
Audits and Work-Withs
o Supervisors and Event Coordinators come into this document and fill it out
o This is then posted on the client side of Box
Review all comments for anything that may need to be cleansed before
being viewed by the client
This is updated for the client on a monthly basis but is vital when doing
Retainage billing
o Tally up the number of audits/WWs by utility
o Requirements: “Client Name”, “Client Name”, “CLIENT NAME”, “CLIENT
NAME”, and “CLIENT NAME” require 2 Audits per Rep per Quarter and 1 WW
per Rep per Quarter; “Client Name”, “CLIENT NAME”, and “CLIENT NAME”

As Needed
Crossmark Rep Addresses
o Pull information from Lawson and update Rep addresses
Ideally, Supervisors have sent you an email if Reps move or leave the
team
o Maintain separate tabs for Active and Exited Reps; you may need it later
o This file sits on the client side of Box
o File sits at: “CLIENT NAME””CLIENT NAME” Client Documents
Send the names of new reps to Volt
o Send to: Volt@crossmarkcom
o Template document can be found at: “CLIENT NAME””CLIENT NAME” Team
Internal Documents2018 DocumentsVolt-SP Requests
o Requests must be sent in the formatting as given in the document
Relevant Rep information should be in the Crossmark Rep Address file if
it is being maintained
Box administration, organization, maintenance
o You will give clients and new reps access to Box
o Box permissions works by cascading levels. If you have access to “Folder A” you
automatically have access to any folders that sit inside of “Folder A”
Eg. Internal and External Documents are separate folders. You can have
access to one or the other or both
Retail Rep Documents sit under the External Documents.
Therefore Clients can see all Retail Rep Documents but Rep
cannot see anything but their folder
14. ** Document edited to retain privacy of client and company personnel. **
14
o “CLIENT NAME” Box site: https://crossmarkappboxcom/folder/5100
This is the general site. Give Supervisors, PAs, CSMs, and above access at
this level
o “CLIENT NAME” Client Documents site: https://crossmarkappboxcom/folder/5100
This is the folder of the site that clients should be given access to
DO NOT GIVE THEM ACCESS TO THE INTERNAL SIDE OF
BOX!
o “CLIENT NAME” Internal Documents site: https://crossmarkappboxcom/folder/5100
Event Coordinators should have access to this folder
o “CLIENT NAME” Retail Rep Documents site:
https://crossmarkappboxcom/folder/5100
This is the folder of the site that Field Reps should be able to access
DO NOT GIVE THEM ACCESS TO ANY OTHER LEVEL OF
BOX!

o Tableau or Get the Picture
Submit a ticket in RemedyForce asking for access
https://crossmarklightningforcecom/lightning/n/BMCServiceDesk__Remedyforc
e_Self_Service
o Password Resets/Troubleshooting
Box: clients sometimes need their password reset:
Go to a Google Chrome incognito window and put the url for the
Client side Box site
o https://crossmarkaccountboxcom/login?redirect_url=%2Ffolder
%2F29135700700
Click into “Not a part of CROSSMARK?”

Exported Tableau files: Compliance, Pricing, Events, and Education Summary
Previous month’s files are saved here: “CLIENT NAME””CLIENT NAME” Team Internal
Documents2018 DocumentsReportingEOM Reporting05 – May 2018
1. Export “Compliance,” “Pricing,” “Events,” and “Education Summary” tabs from
Tableau

17. ** Document edited to retain privacy of client and company personnel. **
17
2. Copy the Master (Excel) and “CLIENT NAME” Master (PPT) files over from the
previous month and move to the current month’s folder. These will be your templates.
Update the necessary information
a. Changing over everything that says “June” to “July” etc.
3. Compliance: Create a pivot table with “Client” and “Execution Status” as the Rows and
“Execution Status” as the Value
a. “Execution Status” will automatically change to “Count of Execution Status”
b. We give “CLIENT NAME” a three month rolling view. Hide any data that isn’t
from the current month and the previous two months. Hide and unhide the
necessary columns in the Master (Excel)
18. ** Document edited to retain privacy of client and company personnel. **
18
c. Using the data from the “Compliance” pivot table manually fill in the values on
the Master (Excel) file
i. DO NOT FILL IN THE “ALL” SECTION! THIS IS SET WITH
FORMULAS AND DOESN’T NEED MANUAL INPUT!
ii. Note any adjustments to the Completed/Incomplete visits that may have
happened for the week
1. Eg. A project that was pulled from visits and so we agreed it
won’t be part of the calculations
2. Need agreement with the numbers given on the Execution
updates given to “CLIENT NAME”
a. Eg. Compliance cannot say 99% execution, but we told the
client 77%
d. Make any needed formatting changes

“Numeric Response” as the Value
a. “Numeric Response” will automatically change to “Sum of Numeric Response”
i. If not click into Values and choose Sum form the calculations options
b. Be sure to sort the questions to match the same order as on the Master (Excel) file
c. We give “CLIENT NAME” a three month rolling view. Hide any data that isn’t
from the current month and the previous two months. Hide and unhide the
necessary columns in the Master (Excel)
d. Using the data from the “Pricing” pivot table manually fill in the values on the
Master (Excel) file
i. DO NOT FILL IN THE “ALL” SECTION! THIS IS SET WITH
FORMULAS AND DOESN’T NEED MANUAL INPUT!
ii. There may be lines where more OOS were corrected than listed (not
possible) or more new tags placed than incorrect prices reported (possible
where a tag may be old or missing but not necessarily “incorrect”) Adjust
the numbers for OOS and explain the reasoning for “New Tags Placed”
e. Copy and Paste (as a picture) each utility into the corresponding slide on the
“CLIENT NAME” Master (PPT) file
20. ** Document edited to retain privacy of client and company personnel. **
20
f. Return to the Pricing file, standardize the “Store Name” based on the “Owning
Company”
i. E.g. “Walmart Store” and “Walmart Supercenter” should be calculated
together
g. Create another pivot table with “Question Text” as Columns, “Client” and “Store
Name” as Rows, and “Numeric Response” as Values
i. Again, “Numeric Response” will automatically change to “Sum of
Numeric Response”
1. If not click into Values and choose Sum form the calculations
options
h. In the pivot table, under “Question Text” you’ll select questions that compare the
results of SKUs priced incorrected to New Shelf Tags Placed. You’ll also compare
SKUs Out of Stock to Out of Stock SKUs corrected
i. I usually list 2-3 retailers with higher ratios. If no retailer sticks out I will note
that “there were no retailers with a consistently high count” Use personal
judgement
j. Update the information in the slide as needed
21. ** Document edited to retain privacy of client and company personnel. **
21
5. Events: Create a pivot table with “Client” and “Question Text” as the Rows and
“Numeric Response” as the Value
k. Be sure to sort the questions to match the same order as they are on the Master
(Excel) file
l. Filter out any events that did not happen in the current month
m. We give “CLIENT NAME” a three month rolling view. Hide any data that isn’t
from the current month and the previous two months. Hide and unhide the
necessary columns in the Master (Excel)
22. ** Document edited to retain privacy of client and company personnel. **
22
n. Using the data from the “Events” pivot table manually fill in the values on the

i. “CLIENT NAME” usually sits on its own slide as it has more events than
most utilities
r. Update the information in the slide as needed
23. ** Document edited to retain privacy of client and company personnel. **
23
6. Education Summary: Create a pivot table with “Client” and “Question Text” as the

Execution Calculations Walkthrough
1. Pull the “Ticket Assignment Details” Report
a. Remember you can pull all utilities at once!
b. The purpose of this report is to show both internal and external parties our
execution progress for the month. Data points of interest are Assigned tickets,
Scheduled Tickets, and Completed tickets
i. We also provide an estimate of how many of the total tickets we expect to
execute for the month
ii. We provide Supervisors both a week to week perspective as well as a
where we are for the month perspective
c. As of July 2018, we are using the “OH_Ticket Assignment Details” version as we
are using OneHub
d. Found at:

26. ** Document edited to retain privacy of client and company personnel. **
26
3. Export the data to Excel
4. Verify that only data from the month of interest is in the data
a. Check the “Program Name” and “Initiative” columns
5. Select a column to turn into “Utility,” I usually overwrite the “Program Name” column
6. Clean up any canceled tickets from the reporting
a. Check the “Axis Project Status,” “OneHub Project Status,” and “Ticket Status”
columns
b. Auto Cancelled tickets stay. These are tickets that were not executed.
7. Remove data from non-Crossmark reps from the data
a. These are usually listed under the “Reported Associate” or “Associate” columns
as ““Division Manager”.” Double check with “Direct Superior” or “Division
Manager”
8. Remove any non-store visit tickets from the data.
a. Eg. Time Reporting tickets
9. Copy the tab naming one “Month” and the other “Week”
a. For the “Week” tab we are only interested in data points from the previous week
(Sun-Sat)
i. In the “Ticket Due Date” column remove any tickets that fall outside of
this parameter
1. Eg. If you are doing this on July 16th 2018, your week of interest is
7/8-7/14
10. For both tabs you will create pivot tables with “Utility” as the Rows then “Utility,”
“Associate,” “Scheduled Date Time,” and “Reported Associate” as the Values
27. ** Document edited to retain privacy of client and company personnel. **
27
11. Use a previous month’s file to copy over the formula charts you will be updating
a. The “Highest Poss. End %” column is only needed for the Month charts, not
Week
12. Create another pivot table using the “Month” tab. It will include “Ticket Status” as
Filters, “Utility” as Rows, and “Ticket Status” as Values
13. In the “Ticket Status” filter, check “Select Multiple Items,” then uncheck “Submitted”
and “Auto Cancelled”
a. Copy the values in the “Count of Ticket Status” column and update the column
next to the “Highest Poss. End %” column
b. This data will populate the chart Send to the client for their weekly
Compliance/Execution update.
14. Send as an email to the client.
a. DO NOT ATTACH THE EXCEL FILE YOU USED TO CREATE THIS CHART!
28. ** Document edited to retain privacy of client and company personnel. **
28
15. Send an email to the Supervisors, CSMs, and “Division Manager” detailing the
Execution information. Point out any information of value such as noticeably low
performance or a utility that is performing well. Use personal judgement
a. Attach the Excel file you used to create this chart
16. Maintain an internal side copy on Box, but do not post to the client side of Box
29. ** Document edited to retain privacy of client and company personnel. **
