# Sandbox Seeding Quickstart Guide

This guide walks you through your first Sandbox Seed in 10 minutes. This walk through is also available as a [Seeding Product Demo Video](https://www.grax.com/start/salesforce-sandbox-seeding/)

## Prerequisites

You'll need two Salesforce orgs and one GRAX deployment with full Backup.

* `Source` production SFDC org with:
  * Data in SFDC such as many Accounts hierarchies to see
  * A report in SFDC such as `GRAX Training Accounts` that finds all accounts that have `Training` in the name
* GRAX Application with full Backups of the `Source` org
* `Target` sandbox or production SFDC org with:
  * Schema matching the `Source` org, but no data as made by SFDC sandbox refresh tooling

Here we will use:

1. [Source "Test Drive" org](https://grax-trial.lightning.force.com) which you can [log into the Test Drive org through the Salesforce App Exchange](https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FMtthUAD)
2. GRAX `Test Drive` App which you can [log into with a quick link](https://grax-trial-testdrive.us-east-1.jgaskagraxcom.dev.graxaws.com/web/seed?graxInternalSessionToken=uWVw5L4feZ.Bg91Hu8j0BQMWpkneRaxlKmiKKEMnSxwTB)
3. [Target "Demo Restore" org](https://graxsalesrestore.lightning.force.com/)

## Log into the Source Org

First [log into the Source org](https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3A00000FMtthUAD).

Next [log into the GRAX Application](https://grax-trial-testdrive.us-east-1.jgaskagraxcom.dev.graxaws.com/web/seed?graxInternalSessionToken=uWVw5L4feZ.Bg91Hu8j0BQMWpkneRaxlKmiKKEMnSxwTB).

GRAX has a `Sandbox Seeding User` permission to grant access to perform search and seeding operations, but not access to settings, archive tooling, etc.

## Pick a Seed Target

Now go to [New Sandbox Seeding](https://grax-trial-testdrive.us-east-1.jgaskagraxcom.dev.graxaws.com/web/seed/new?graxInternalSessionToken=uWVw5L4feZ.Bg91Hu8j0BQMWpkneRaxlKmiKKEMnSxwTB) and configure a Target org. Either add a Target org by connecting via OAuth, or reuse an existing one.

Here we have a Demo Restore org pre-configured as a target.

## Pick a Seed Source

Next configure the data you'd like to see.

Here we will seed from a Salesforce report. In Salesforce, create a report with data you'd like to seed. For example this [GRAX Training Accounts Report](https://grax-trial.lightning.force.com/lightning/r/Report/00O8V000008SiPwUAK/view?queryScope=userFolders) with all Accounts that have "Training" in the name. All reports with `GRAX` in the name or in a `GRAX` folder show up in the GRAX Application.

Then in the GRAX seeding source tool select the Report option and select the Training Accounts Report.

## Preview and Run the Seed

Now click through the seeding tool to preview the data hierarchy, record count. Here we see the report includes 3 Accounts and 100s of child Assets, Contacts, Cases, etc.

Continue to click through to execute the seed. After a final confirmation the seeding activity will start and show all the progress, success, or errors.

## Review Seed Data

Finally if you log into [Target "Demo Restore" org](https://graxsalesrestore.lightning.force.com/) you'll see all the data.

With a few clicks we've taken data from one Salesforce org to another, giving your development team a good dataset in a sandbox to work against.
