Hi,

i've to create a report/E-Mail about Trials (created object). This report/E-Mail have to be execute 5-Days before a date in the trial will be reach.

For example: In the field "deliverence (back)" is the date 08.23. . The current day is 08.18. . A repor/E-Mail will be send to the creater of the Trial.

What can i do to solve this problem?

Thank you.

We are adding a new field for the user to enter a total value.  After adding this new field we need to have some kind of mass update to the system so that an existing field's value is copied into the new total field.  Is there some way to do this in the professional version.  I surely do not want to manually modify hundreds of records.

Has anyone ever used Salesforce to Salesforce within their own organization?  We are considering it, and I would like to hear some of the pros and cons.

Thanks,

Hi,

I am implementing Case Management for my company, and one of the requirements is that the Associates who respond, and comment on cases email addresses' are masked.  To the best of my knowledge there is no setting within SFDC to accomplish this. Previously we attempted to write a class that sent emails from the system rather then the standard workflow, but we were only able to mask the name not the actually email address e.g. "From: Company Name" but the reply-to email remained "Reply-To: Joe.Associate@companyname.com".  Please let me know if anyone has any thoughts on how to accomplish this. Its a very serious requirement for us, as we do not want to hand out or support associates email addresses to customers. Any suggestions, no matter how complex, are welcome. Thanks. 

A member of my team found this in the SFDC documentation:

"Workflow rules are *not* triggered when a user is in a language other than the native organization language.

For example - a work flow rule that sends an e-mail when triggered of the field of forecast category with a value of "commit".

The workflow rule would look like this:

[Opportunity: Forecast Category equals Commit].

The English version of the workflow rule is triggered ok.

When a user is logged into an organization with a default language of English, and a Spanish locale, the forecast categories value of “Commit” is translated to "Confirmar" in Spanish.

The workflow rule then compares "Confirmar" to "commit" in the workflow rule and returns false and no e-mail is sent out.

The workaround is to also look for the value Confirmar in the workflow rule.

For example:

[Opportunity: Forecast Category equals Commit, Confirmar]

You would have to include the values of Commit in other languages if you are a multi-language organization."

I have a visualforce page which is being rendered as a PDF.  I have set the language to "utf-8" , when I do this it causes only the english field labels to be displayed even if the user has their language set to something else.  If I do not set the language of the page to "utf-8"  Chinese Characters do not render.   Any suggestions.

   ...the page tag...

<apex:page standardController="SFDC_Channel_Account_Plan__c" extensions="ext_Objective,revenueDetails,MDFCalculate,goalInfo" showHeader="false" renderAs="pdf" language="utf-8">

<apex:outputLabel value="{!$ObjectType.SFDC_Channel_Account_Plan__c.Fields.Name.label}"/>

 I have a visual force page which needs to be rendered as a PDF, but when I set renderAs = "PDF"  it ignores my Javascript entirley. I can't even do a document.write('test');   My issue is that the field labels in the PDF I am rendering need to be dynamic based on the users language. I have written a class to do this for me based on the API field name, but when I try and call it in this page I get nothing.  Anyone have any suggestions on how to dynamically pass field labels to a VF page that will be rendered as a pdf? 

Hi  -

I have a page with several fields on it. We are using the translation work bench to translate all the fields. Thus I don't want to hardcode in the field labels because I want them to appear in the users native language.  Below is a code segement I wrote to describe the object, and get the field labels. It works, but the next page I have to do this to has 150 fields, and I really would like to find a better way to do this. I am open to any suggetions. 

for (var i = 0; i < mdfObj.fields.length; i++){ if(mdfObj.fields[i].name == 'Channel_Account_Manager__c') camNameLabel = mdfObj.fields[i].label; if(mdfObj.fields[i].name == 'Channel_Account_Manager_Title__c') camTitleLabel = mdfObj.fields[i].label; if(mdfObj.fields[i].name == 'Channel_Account_Manager_Email__c') camEmailLabel = mdfObj.fields[i].label; if(mdfObj.fields[i].name == 'Channel_Account_Manager_Phone__c') camPhoneLabel = mdfObj.fields[i].label; if(mdfObj.fields[i].name == 'Channel_Account_Manager_Mobile_formula__c') camMobileLabel = mdfObj.fields[i].label; if(mdfObj.fields[i].name == 'Inside_Channel_Account_Manager__c') iCamNameLabel = mdfObj.fields[i].label; if(mdfObj.fields[i].name == 'Inside_Channel_Account_Manager_Title__c') iCamTitleLabel = mdfObj.fields[i].label; if(mdfObj.fields[i].name == 'Inside_Channel_Account_Manager_Email__c') iCamEmailLabel = mdfObj.fields[i].label; if(mdfObj.fields[i].name == 'Inside_Channel_Account_Manager_Phone__c') iCamPhoneLabel = mdfObj.fields[i].label; if(mdfObj.fields[i].name == 'Inside_Channel_Account_Manager_Mobile__c') iCamMobileLabel = mdfObj.fields[i].label; if(mdfObj.fields[i].name == 'Marketing_Program_Manager__c') mpmNameLabel = mdfObj.fields[i].label; if(mdfObj.fields[i].name == 'Marketing_Program_Manager_Title__c') mpmTitleLabel = mdfObj.fields[i].label; if(mdfObj.fields[i].name == 'Marketing_Program_Manager_Email__c') mpmEmailLabel = mdfObj.fields[i].label; if(mdfObj.fields[i].name == 'Marketing_Program_Manager_Phone__c') mpmPhoneLabel = mdfObj.fields[i].label; if(mdfObj.fields[i].name == 'Marketing_Program_Manager_Mobile__c') mpmMobileLabel = mdfObj.fields[i].label; }

Is it possible to convert a Double to a string?  I have a date that is part of a string, and I want to pull out of the date and convert it to a double, but I can't figure out how? 

I have setup Cronkit in my sandbox,  I have it running every hour to fire a trigger I wrote.  It worked the first 30 times, then it just started saying it was late and not running.  I then restarted it, and it ran the first few times again and said it was late. 

What causes it to be late?

Its not an Apex Error... 

Hi I've written a trigger to send emails off the case object in certain scenarios, but I only want this trigger to fire when the user making updates is an internal user and not a customer portal user. Currently I have an If statement that says when profileid <> the customer portal ids. This is not very maintable, is there a flag that I can use to identify if a user is a customer portal user?

Thanks.

I am trying to self-populate information on an account from its contact so that I don't have to double entry data and a user can quickly see key primary contact data at the account level

for example - i have a contact that is billing so in the account record - I also want to show this to make the devlelopment simple I added a lookup function so that I pick up the relative contact - I then used workflow rules to self-populate billing phone number, billing, email, etc.

I have a problem now that I used so many references to post on the account from the conatcts I get the following error:

ideally I would like just to have a checkbox on the contact record saying blling contact and at the account level it would pick up the appropriate contact - using the lookup with workflow rules is a fine workaround but I am finding out is limited.

any suggestions???

Hi,

I have a requirement to create a custom field with some restriction.

The requirement is, the user should be able to delete the existing text in the filed but should not be able to enter new text into it. To save new value in the field the user has to go to another visualforce page and select the data which satisfies few requirements.

How can I achive this?  Any focus on using validation rules or trigger etc?

Thanks in advance.
