This article reviews how to install the reporting managed package (SJ Example Reports) for Skilljar Objects in your Salesforce instance.
Prerequisites
- The most recent Salesforce App Integration has been installed in your Salesforce instance and Data is flowing from Skilljar to Salesforce.
- The Skilljar Custom Objects have been edited by a Salesforce Admin to "Allow Reporting".
Estimated Time Spend
10+ minutes.
Note: Depending on your reporting needs, this task ranges from no setup being required to multiple hours needed to build automated and custom reports.
Background
This managed package includes example reports and report-type templates to help your Salesforce team build out custom reporting in your instance of Salesforce. This should be used as a resource for your Salesforce admin to continue to develop reports based on exactly what is useful for your training and business needs.
This package will report on the objects that are created by the Skilljar Salesforce data integration - more information on these objects can be found here: Salesforce Integration: Custom Objects and their Fields.
Install the Reporting Package
This is an unlisted Managed Package, so your Salesforce admin will need to navigate to the following link in order to download the package and install it into your instance of Salesforce.

We recommend installing this package and granting access to these reports to all users who have access to the Skilljar Custom Objects within your instance of Salesforce.
