Below is the overall process brief:
Install the Valorx Wave browser extension.
Once you install the Valorx Wave browser extension in any of your browsers, the four sections (Home, Objects, Records, and Reports) of your Salesforce account will show the Wave Floaty icon on the right side of the screen.
Log in to Valorx Wave with your Salesforce account credentials or Valorx credentials from the browser extension or the Wave Floaty icon. If you are a Valorx product user, you should have Valorx credentials. Otherwise, you can create it using your work email ID from the link given on the login screen.
Once logged in, connect your Salesforce Org to Valorx Wave. You can connect multiple Salesforce Orgs if you log in with Valorx credentials.
Access Valorx Wave from your Salesforce account's Wave Floaty icon or browser extension regularly.
The Admin user of an Org can add and manage the Team Members (users) and license plans for the Org in Valorx Wave.
Valorx Wave has two user roles: Admin User and Standard User.
Admin User: If you are the first to install Valorx Wave and connect your Salesforce Org to Valorx Wave, you automatically become an Admin User for that Org with a Free subscription. As an admin user, you can add and manage the other team members (users), share the Admin rights with the other users, purchase/upgrade Valorx Wave Subscriptions, and assign licenses to the other users.
Standard User: Valorx Wave denotes the non-admin users as Standard users. If you are a Standard User, you need to contact the admin user if you need to purchase or upgrade your Wave Subscription.
