Dashboards are Improved AND New in Summer 09

May 7, 2009 by David Schach 2 Comments

The Summer09 prerelease orgs are here, so get yours now! Upon first look, something cool stood out and merits immediate posting:

Dashboards are improved. The colors are more vivid, there’s detail in the bars and pie chart wedges, and… pie charts can now display the actual and percentage values!

Flexible Field Labels

March 23, 2009 by David Schach Leave a Comment

While making a Visualforce page to display a Zip/Country -> City, State, County application, it became obvious that labeling fields manually will not satisfy all users, especially international ones. There are a few ways to include a field and its label on a Visualforce page. The simplest, using OutputField: VF Page (simple): The most common […]

Force.com Sites Guest User Profile Permissions

December 22, 2008 by David Schach Leave a Comment

I’m working on an event registration application for the Sites Developer Challenge, and it involves a validation that the registrant’s email exists in a Contact record. Remembering that Steve Andersen had run into some obstacles with Contact.Email visibility, I decided to check the guest profile for Contact Field Level Security. Here’s what I found: If […]

Inline Visualforce Page Layouts!

November 29, 2008 by David Schach 1 Comment

We’re all used to using inline S-Controls, dragging and dropping them into page layouts. And the entire Salesforce community has been spending tons of time recreating page layouts in Visualforce, just to edit one small piece of a page.

As an example, how would you implement the example at developer.force.com: Visualforce Dynamic Edit Page? You would do it the way it was explained in the blog post!

Well the rules of the game have changed.

Salesforce Order of Execution

November 9, 2008 by David Schach 6 Comments

I came across this page in the Apex documentation and wanted to share it with everyone. Many people have asked about this in the past, so it seems a good idea to publicize it:

Salesforce CRM “Locale” Field

October 23, 2008 by David Schach 1 Comment

I wanted to change the first day of my week to Monday, and to see my weekends on the right-side of the 7-day view. I’ve started doing this on my Google and Outlook calendars, so why not be consistent?

Google Docs Now Has Templates for Google Apps

August 4, 2008 by David Schach Leave a Comment

Google Docs has templates, and those of us using Google Apps with our Salesforce org (which should be almost everyone, since it’s free and easy to use) can design company-wide templates. This, combined with Google Docs’ super collaborative features, should make things much easier for consultants.

Activities Tab in Salesforce

August 3, 2008 by David Schach 4 Comments

To display a tab of Activities, just like you can with Accounts, Opportunities, etc., use the following URLs in the Web Tab configuration screen: /home/actlist.jsp?isdtp=mn /home/actlist.jsp these are especially useful if you have Enhanced Lists enabled – it looks amazing. Create additional views for Tasks or Events, and then save the URL for each as […]

AppExchange Makeover

July 2, 2008 by David Schach Leave a Comment

Looks like Salesforce has changed its user-interface again. Remember the Apps menu with the AppExchange link that opened the AppExchange in a new tab? That’s been changed.
