Upgrading Amp Impact to Raven - (v1.48)
Note:
A Salesforce environment with Amp installed can be directly upgraded to the latest version of Amp as long as the current version is v1.17.1 or later. If the version of Amp Impact is an earlier version, you must first upgrade to v1.17.1 before upgrading to v1.48 (Raven). When upgrading to this version and skipping previous upgrades, please be sure to follow the Upgrade Instructions for every intermediate release as well to ensure the app continues working as expected.
To upgrade to the latest release of Amp Impact, log into your Sandbox environment and use the installation link.
Vera Employees can navigate to this page to access the link.
Partners & customers, please get in touch with your Vera point of contact to access the link.
Information will be displayed confirming that you have an earlier version installed and it can be upgraded while preserving existing data.
Select which users you wish to install the package for (learn more here).
Click "Upgrade".
Refer to the release notes document and learn about the new features and bug fixes for this release.
After reviewing the release notes, follow the steps outlined below.
Perform your current use cases in the sandbox and if you are using any of the new features from this release, ensure that they are operating as expected.
When you are ready to deploy to Production, use this installation link.
Update any changes you make, for example to custom settings, in Production as these will not "carry over" from your sandbox.
Note:
If My Domain has already been set up, replace "test" or "login" in the installation links with the specific domain appended by .my. for the org. See below for an example of a customized installation link: https://customdomain.my.salesforce.com/packaging/installPackage.apexp?p0=04t4o000002FIf5&isdtp=p1
If you upgrade Amp Impact, records of objects within that package will be updated. If custom validation rules have been created on those objects, the upgrade will fail if the records on those objects do not comply with those custom validation rules.
Packaging Changes
Certain changes to the configuration will be automatically updated on the installation of the upgrade, while others will need to be manually updated (in order not to conflict with any org-specific customization). For full details on what Salesforce supports when upgrading managed packages, refer to the Editing Components and Attributes After Installation and Special Behavior of Components in Packages pages.
Note: The table below details which types of configuration changes need to be made manually in this release, and if so, also include an example of where to change them. Additionally, the table also displays examples of some automatic changes that will occur when the package is upgraded.

Update Profiles and Custom Permission Sets for New Objects and Fields
While permission sets in the package are automatically updated to provide access to these new fields, profiles and custom permission sets must be manually updated to include these new artifacts if the relevant user(s) requires access to them.
Refer to the Packaging Changes section in the release notes to determine which objects and fields need to be added to any custom profiles or permission sets.
Upgrade steps to backfill Locked Budget Planning and Reporting Periods
This step is applicable only if your organisation uses the Plan Budget and/or Report Expenditure LWCs and has previously submitted Reporting Periods using these components.
After upgrading to Raven (v1.48), the Locked Budget Planning Period(s) and Locked Budget Reporting Period(s) fields on the Budget object will be empty, even if Reporting Periods were previously submitted. If left empty, submitting a new Reporting Period will unintentionally unlock previously submitted periods. Follow the steps below to backfill these fields.
In Salesforce, navigate to Reports and create a new report using the Reporting Periods report type
Add the following columns:
Reporting Period ID
Project Reporting Period Name
Project
Budget Locked
Add a filter: Budget Locked = TRUE
Run the report — this will show all Reporting Periods that were previously submitted and locked
For each Project in the report results, navigate to the Project record and open the relevant Budget record
Open the Budgeting Cycle component on the Budget record
In the Locked Budget Planning Period(s) field, select the Reporting Periods that were previously submitted from the Plan Budget LWC
In the Locked Budget Reporting Period(s) field, select the Reporting Periods that were previously submitted from the Report Expenditure LWC
Save the changes
Repeat steps 5–9 for each Budget on the Project
Note: If a Project has multiple Budgets, verify with your budget owners which Reporting Periods were submitted per Budget, as the above report shows locked periods at the Project level only.
Upgrade steps to remove the Budget Locked field from Reporting Period page layout (Optional)
The following upgrade step is relevant to organisations that have the Budget Locked field displayed on their Reporting Period page layout. With the Raven release, the locking functionality has moved to the new Locked Budget Planning Period(s) and Locked Budget Reporting Period(s) fields on the Budget object. The Budget Locked field on the Reporting Period object no longer serves a purpose in the locking flow.
If you have not built any custom automation, flows, or validation rules on top of this field, you can safely remove it from your page layout:
Navigate to Setup → Object Manager
Navigate to the Reporting Period (ampi__Reporting_Period__c) object and click on it
Navigate to Page Layouts and click on Reporting Period Layout
Remove the Budget Locked (ampi__xx_Budget_Locked__c) field from the layout
Click Save
If you have built customizations on top of this field (e.g. flows, validation rules, custom buttons), we recommend migrating that logic to reference the new Locked Budget Planning Period(s) (ampi__xx_Locked_Budget_Planning_Period_s__c) and Locked Budget Reporting Period(s) (ampi__xx_Locked_Budget_Reporting_Period_s__c) fields on the Budget (ampi__Budget__c) object before removing the Budget Locked field.
Upgrade Steps for Deprecated Visualforce Pages
As part of the Raven (v1.48) release, the following Visualforce pages have been deprecated and all internal package references to them have been removed:
SetTargets.page
AddResults.page
ManageIndicators.page
ManageLogFrames.page
The corresponding Lightning Web Component equivalents continue to work as expected and are unaffected by these changes.
Please upgrade the above mentioned Visualforce pages to their Lightning Web Component counterparts before upgrading to Raven release.
Action required for upgrade orgs:
The following buttons on the Project__c object are no longer linked to the Visualforce pages but will still appear on your Project page layout if your org has previously customized it. You must remove them manually:
Add Results
Manage Framework
Manage Indicators
Set Target
You can safely remove it from your page layout by following the steps mentioned below:
Navigate to Setup → Object Manager
Navigate to the Project object and click on it
Navigate to Page Layouts and click on Project Layout
Remove these buttons from your page layout.
