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. […]

Sophisticated DateTime “Formula Fields” with Apex and Field-Level Security
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 […]

Firstly, you’ll need to contact salesforce.com to get this feature enabled. Then be patient. It takes a minute or two for the update to propagate. Clearly, […]

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.

Dreamforce Keynote – Chatter and the Platform
There is no way to write one post to cover everything, so I want to address one thing that some people may not have noticed: Salesforce Chatter is being pushed as a platform layer. Looking at the “chiclet” slide that Marc Benioff unveiled, let’s start with the “old” slide: Yes, this is not the exact […]
