Hi all,

Have been using Salesforce for around 6 months now after been using Onyx for over 4 years and overall the experience has been good.

However I'm currently in a scenario where I really need a specific function that I can't find in my Salesforce account but I'm hoping it's just me missing something. Otherwise I would kindly like to request for a future release.

The problem is that I sometimes have the need to update multiple leads, accounts, opportunities and so on at the same time. Right now when I'm in the "Leads" section and I'm viewing all leads assigned to me in a list, but I can only edit them one by one. Couldn't be easy way to do a "batch" update of certain fields? Like address, ranking and so on.

Thanks,

Daniel

Hello.

What is the easiest way to transfer changes from sandbox to production? Don't know what to do. Is there any other way in addition to using Force.com IDE?

Thanks

It is said that mass email is allowed to send 250 mails per call and  up to 1000 mails per day.

But I found the article on the page 181 of  the book "Development with the Force.com Platform" by Jason Quellette

saying  "You can reach 2,500 recipients using the MassEmailMessage ". On this book  said  " 250 recipients times the 10 invocation maximum".

Is it true we can send 2500 mails per pay ?

Any suggestion appreciated.

Hello

I am a newbie to triggers and was hoping that someone could help me with this ...Basically I am trying to update a field in my parent object whenever some updates/creates new child records. Below is what I have so far ( both parent and child are custom objects). To make it easier ...this would be like if I have an amount field on the account object and I need to copy the opty amount to this field on the account object. Basically the account amount field should be the sum of all the opty amount fields for the corresponding account ..

trigger License on License_Transfer__c (before update) {

List<DNB_Org__c> dnborgstoupdate = new List <DNB_Org__c>();
for(License_Transfer__c lct : System.Trigger.New) {
 if (lct.License_Type__c == 'UE'){
  DNB_Org__c dnborg = new DNB_Org__c (Id =lct.Holding_Org__c,Holding_Licenses_UE__c = lct.Licenses_to_Transfer__c);
  dnborgstoupdate.add(dnborg);
 }
}
update(dnborgstoupdate);
}

I was able to do this using a scheduler.but I have the case owners direct to a report in SFDC to track their cases. But now the requirement is to send the case owners their case numbers and links for the respective cases. I was hoping to do this using visual force templates .Is this possible ? Any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated

Is it possible to achieve that when a new case comment is created the "public" checkbox is already marked by default? See screenshot below.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I created a new task button called Media Plan Request.  The button is supposed to assign the task to our media planner (1 person, ex John Smith).  It's also supposed to put "Media Plan Request" in the Subject line and put the whatid as the opportunity the task is created on.  The Whatid part works fine, the rest of it doesn't.

Here is the code I'm using:

/00T/e?who_id={!Lead.Id}{!Contact.Id}&&what_id={!Opportunity.Id}&retURL=%2F0067000000IF9ym&tsk5=Media%Plan%Request&tsk1_lkid=00570000001GaI5&tsk1=John%Smith

What am I missing here?  This is my second custom button today that isn't working  :(

Hi,

I am trying to send mass email to a list of selected candidates. I have created the list as an Sobject and passed the email addresses to it. I am not sure how to pass this list to the target id in the mass email. Some examples would help me.

Thanks
