With Gearset you can easily migrate your Salesforce Einstein analytics settings between your orgs. Creating dashboards in your sandbox and deploying them out into production has never been easier!

Einstein analytics

Einstein analytics, previously known as Wave, gives you the power to derive deep insights from your data with custom dashboards and graphs. It’s a great way to make data-driven decisions which improve the effectiveness of your business.

Gearset fully supports the comparison and deployment of your Einstein analytics metadata, so you can focus on reaping the benefits of your new data visualisations.

Deploying Wave components

NOTE: Gearset’s comparisons have had an upgrade! We’re in the process of updating all our blog posts with the new UI images, but in the meantime you can find out more here.

Einstein is powered by the underlying Wave metadata type. Let’s walk through the process of deploying Wave metadata between your Salesforce orgs with Gearset.

If you want to follow along for yourself, why not start a free 30-day trial and take these steps for your own orgs?

  1. Create a custom metadata filter which includes the Wave components you want to deploy (see how)
