New Blackberry and iPhone Wallpaper

August 1, 2010 by David Schach 4 Comments

Last year, I published a wallpaper image for Blackberry, at a resolution of 320×240 (how quaint). Screen resolution has grown since then, as has salesforce.com and Salesforce CRM. This is a new wallpaper background using the latest branding, at 480×360. For those of you using retinal displays, here’s one for you: I expect to see […]

Chatter and the CLM

June 11, 2010 by David Schach 2 Comments

I love Chatter. I love the way that it is a game-changer. I think that Chatter is a powerful tool. But as Peter Parker's Uncle Ben said, "With great power comes great responsibility," and with the possibility of great rewards from Chatter comes great risks. First I'll list my conclusions, just so there's no misunderstanding. […]

May 17, 2010 by David Schach 3 Comments

What do you do when you want to calculate a formula-like field but a regular formula won't work? Salesforce CRM's formulas handle dates very well. If you want to enter a date value and have formula fields display, for instance, mydate__c + 21 days, that's simple. Just use mydate__c + 21. Side note: If you […]

New Opportunity Page Layout – With Highlights Panel!

February 18, 2010 by David Schach 6 Comments

Step 1: Enable the Highlights Panel

Yesterday, I enabled the new Opportunity page layout in my Developer Spring ’10 Preview org, and it took a few steps, so I thought I’d share them with you.

As Content will be included in all Salesforce licenses (for completeness, I'll add 'to some degree') with the Spring '10 release, orgs will be faced with the daunting prospect of getting their documents and attachments out of Salesforce and into Content.
