Salesforce Spring'20 Release - Sales Cloud Top Features

Spring'20 release is round the corner. Below is my top pick from the Sales Cloud perspective: -

Path: Streamline Order Fulfillment

Improve your customers’ shopping experience by creating a path on the Fulfillment Order object. An order fulfillment path gives call center agents visibility into order status, and warehouse workers can easily update item status.
Gotcha - The Fulfillment Order object is available to customers with a Salesforce Order Management license.

Clone Opportunities or Campaigns Along with Their Related Records

The Clone with Related action makes it simple to create recurring opportunities and campaigns. Your account reps no longer have to find and add related items one by one when they re-create those records.
In the Object Manager, find the Opportunity or Campaign object and select Page Layout. Add the Clone with Related action to the layout, and save. In the dialog, the order of the options can’t be changed.
Opportunities - A rep can renew a subscription by cloning contact roles, products, or product (line item) schedules along with an opportunity.

Campaigns - When you use the Clone with Related action on a campaign, we duplicate your campaign record along with all its member statuses.
Gotcha - This change applies to the Lightning Experience only.

Update Multiple Deals from the Forecasts Page in Lightning Experience

Forecast users now have another option for updating opportunities without leaving the forecasts page. With inline editing, users can edit multiple opportunities at the same time.

Price Book Entries: Get More from Price Book Entries Related Lists in Lightning Experience

Salesforce has added View to the quick actions on Price Book Entries related lists. Now it’s easy for sales reps to see price book entry details without switching to Salesforce Classic.

Schedule and Manage Scheduled Emails in Lightning Experience

Sales reps can specify email arrival times to increase the chances of an email being read. They can schedule an email to arrive at the start of a contact’s work day, for example. The new Scheduled Emails component lets reps update the content of a scheduled email, and change its scheduled date and time.
To schedule an email, sales reps select Send Later  in the email composer.

The rep then selects the date and time and clicks Schedule.

To let your reps manage scheduled emails, use Edit Page to add the Send Email Later - Pending List component to any object’s home page, including the Salesforce homepage.

Using that component, reps can reschedule, edit, or delete an already-scheduled email.
Gotcha - Users with the Use Inbox user permission, available with the High Velocity Sales or Inbox license can use this feature.

Use Drafts to Perfect Your List Emails

Sales reps can take their time when creating list emails. Reps can now save their work as a draft and return to it later.
From a contact or lead home page, click Send List Email and start writing the content. To save your changes, click Save as Draft.

To resume editing the list email, go to the List Email home page.

Find your draft list email (1) and continue editing (2). When you’re done editing, save the draft again or send the list email.
Gotcha - This change applies to the Lightning Experience only.

Assign Tasks to a Queue to Share Work Efficiently

Let sales reps share their workload by setting up queues for tasks. Reps can assign tasks to their shared queues, and then individuals can take ownership of those tasks from the queue’s list view. This is a big one!
When reps assign tasks to a queue, those tasks are available to members of the queue, which means everyone can pitch in to help. No more relying on one sales rep to do it all. Now others on the team can lend a hand without waiting for work to be delegated or reassigned.

How: In Setup, enter Queues in the Quick Find box and then select Queues. From the Queues setup page, select New. Then, create a queue and assign Task as the supported object.

  1. According to Stanford Medical, It's in fact the one and ONLY reason this country's women get to live 10 years more and weigh on average 42 lbs less than we do.

    (By the way, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret diet and EVERYTHING about "HOW" they eat.)

    BTW, What I said is "HOW", and not "WHAT"...

Mashup Integration in Salesforce

During preparation for TA certification exam, I came across a word Mashup for integration a number of times. I explored about it and below is description:- Mashups, sometimes called “composites,” are hybrid applications created by bringing together several data sources and Web services to create a new application or to add value to an existing application. Behind the scenes, mashups may require different levels of integration, depending on whether the mashed-up data is only meant to be viewed, whether it can be edited, and whether data is actually transferred between systems. There are three types of mashup:- Client Presentation Mashup - In this type of mashup the integration takes place strictly at the visual level. It makes possible to view data from two or more applications in a browser,  without actually moving data between the applications. Example - Google Maps. Client Service Mashup - As mashups evolve, they are becoming more complex and sophisticated. Client ser

Grant Access Using Hierarchies

Problem There is a custom object say 'XYZ' and OWD for this is set to ' Private ', which means record of this can be seen by only owner and users above in role-hierarchy and territory. However, to share this with other user, we can manually share it. The problem is that I don't want other users, who are above in role-hierarchy and territory of the user with whom record has shared, can see it. Solution We can un-check ' Grant Access Using Hierarchies ' check box for object 'XYZ' on 'Sharing Settings' page. We can go to Setup >> Security Controls >> Sharing Settings and click on ' Edit ' button. On the edit page, we can un-check ' Grant Access Using Hierarchies ' for required object.  Major uses of 'Grant Access Using Hierarchies' are:- If you disable the Grant Access Using Hierarchies option, sharing with a role or territory and subordinates only shares with the users directly asso

ReadOnly Annotation

Use Case:- You want to show up to 10000 record on single VF page. Count of records based upon some business requirement where number of records could go up to 1 million. So far, it was not possible to achieve above in VF page because of following limitations:- The maximum number of items in a collection that can be iterated over using components such as <apex:dataTable> , <apex:dataList> , and <apex:repeat> is 1000. Normally, queries for a single Visualforce page request may not retrieve more than 50,000 rows. Solution:- But with API version 23.0 , salesforce has introduced ' ReadOnly ' annotation which has following functionality/restriction:- The @ReadOnly annotation allows you to perform unrestricted queries against the Force.comdatabase. All other limits still apply. It's important to note that this annotation, while removing the limit of the number of returned rows for a request, blocks you from performing the following operations
