login Notification message/bulletin message

Hello All,

 

Is there any way to create a popup messages on home page when the users first login to salesforce? 

 

The popup message should appear only when the users login for the first time in a day and one of the user should have ability to customize the messages every day. These messages should appear only to a particular group of users.

 

Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in Advance.

yap,

This is possible to show some pop-up message when user first time login to the system,

we can create the  interface where user can see message after login ... like buletin

and this can be configured.

 

first clear following points from your query

 

What is group of users (means users related to some group/ profiles)

  • How did your user login to SF ..... by using standard salesforce login or Any single sign-on authenetication
  • customze message means .... Normal text  or HTML formated ?
  • Every login means ? once in a day  ? or anything else you are thinking.
  • Which is default app for your Org users.

 

 

 

provide these details, I had implement similar functionality with huge complex logic behind it.

 

Thanks ,

Bala

Bala: Thanks for the quick response.

 

Here are the answers to your questions...

 

  • How did your user login to SF ..... by using standard salesforce login or Any single sign-on authenetication

           By standard salesforce login. There is no single sign-on.


  • customze message means .... Normal text  or HTML formated ?
            Html formatted
  • Every login means ? once in a day  ? or anything else you are thinking.

            Once in a day i.e., when ever a user login for the first time in a day.

  • Which is default app for your Org users.

            Default app is different for different profile users. 

 

The popup message in the link that you have provided is really great.. looks perfect!

 

It would be great if this message is available to group(Public group) of users or profile level is also fine.

 

Please let me know the steps, approach, any sample code would be of great help.

 

Thank you so much for your help.

Thanks for details,

 

Here is the solution approach.

It will work on following concept :

"We can set default landing tab for  any user profile , When user login into salesforce , It will autometically navigate to  that Landing tab "

 

Solution Steps: 

 

Create a Visual force page ... say welcome;

Create a Visual force Page Tab, with content source above VF page.

Add this new Tab in all apps  in your Orgs.

Go to apps set this newlly created  tab as default landing tab.

Save the changes.

 

 

when any user will login to the SFDC autometically he will land on this new Tab ... means your VF page.

 

 

I had used JQuery to show Pop-up messages ... Its slick :)

 

To display formated HTML , you can store same content in some object in Salesforce say Buletin

 

To track number of login in a day ... you can use VF page cookies.

 

Once you complete the functionality on VF page ..... you can navigate user to any Salesforce page

 

I will recommend dont try implement all the things at a time It will get messed up,

we can implement better things than your expectation step by step.  

 

 

Let me know for any help to build this functionality .

 

Stay Tuned,

Bala
