Hi,

 

When someone fills the web form, my sales users recieve an Email saying that a new lead was created in Salesforce. 

 

 

Can i have the LINK to this new lead in the template so my sales team can just click on it and open the new lead in salesforce??

 

where do i customise this?

Thanks

Is there a way to set up a report to show all Accounts that do not contain a custom related list?

 

We have a custom object that is a child of the Account, I want to see all the Accounts where there hasn't been any data yet populated in this custom object, so when data is put in there, it will come off of the report.

 

Thanks!

Hi All,

    How can we assign a picklist value to a record type once it is created.

 

I have picklist field called Integration and it has values x,y,z but while adding z i forgt to assign it to a record type A, now i want it to assign z to A record type..is this possible?

We currently use SFDC to track Support cases and we're using a pretty stock Case tab. When editing the Case details, upon saving the record, the Last Modified date is updated as expected. However, the support engineers are very fond of using a related list - Case Comments and emails to continually add comments to the case. However, they'd like the Case Detail last modified date to be updated each time a comment or email is updated or created.
 
Any workarounds for this? seems like a requirement for tracking proper support metrics.

Hello all,

 

I am using a custom 'Send an Email' button on Lead page (for partner portal users) which will auto-populate the 'Additional To' and 'CC' fields.

the code i am using behind this button is:

 

https://org.secure.force.com/_ui/core/email/author/EmailAuthor?p2_lkid={!Lead.Id}&rtype=00Q&template_id=00XC0000001eo51&p5=&retURL=/{!Lead.Id}&p4={!Lead.OwnerEmail}

 

This was working fine untill recently.

 

Since last couple of days when portal users are trying to use this button to send an email, the following error is popping up:

Page Not Found: /_ui/core/email/author/EmailAuthor

 

I tried to test if the standard 'Send an Email' button is working from the Activity History related list and the same error message pops up.

 

Any help is really appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Hi,

 

I am aware that Partner Portal users do not have access to delete records of standard objects.

 

Wondering if we can have a custom button on Contacts object which will force delete that record on button click?

Hello all,

 

I have a report on Account with Invoice and Invoice Items. (Account is Master to Invoice and Invoice is master to Invoice Items)

 

Created a custom report which should display Account name, Invoice detail and invoice item details. This is working fine for EE users but when the same report is run by partner portal users, they are not able to see either Invoice object fields or Invoice Item object fields.

 

I checked for the following but still the problem persists:

1. Invoice and Invoice Item objects are made available to partner portal profile

2. Checked if these fields are available in the custom report type

3. Field level security for all the fields for the two custom objects

 

Am I missing something?

Hello all,

 

I have two situations here.

 

1. Account has a custom 'Acc Number'  field which is unique and case-sensitive. If any partner portal user searchs for an account by this custom acc number,  the system is not finding the appropriate account.

 

2. Also, I am using the default search for partner portal users and it is not working for custom objects.

Example: Invoice is a custom child object to Account (Master -detail relationship). When a user tries to search an invoice by invoice number, no results are showing up.

 

Am i missing anything here?

Really appreciate any help.

Hello all,

 

I always insert/update thousand of records using the apex data loader v21.0

Today, when i performed the same thing, i got this strange error: "UNABLE_TO_LOCK_ROW:unable to obtain exclusive access to this record". Only a few of them were inserted and the others had this error.

 

I uploaded the unsuccessful records again and had this issue with more than half of the total records.

I had to perform the upload quite a few times to upload all the records.

 

Did anyone face the same issue before? if so, please let me know why this happens and what to do to prevent this from happening again?

Hello all,

 

I want to have the 'Find Duplicates' button for the Leads accessed by partner portal users.

For this, i am aware that the the portal user profile should have 'Delete' access on the object.

 

I see that we can provide delete access to custom objects but not standard objects. Is partner portal set up in this way (without delete access) by SFDC or am i missing something?

 

I dont want to install any third party de-dupe apps from AppExchange.

 

Any suggestions is much appreciated.

Hello all,

 

I have searched this forum for a better answer to the issue i am facing right now but couldn't get any.

First off, i am new to VF page development and here's my situation:

 

I am using a VF page which returns Sales Order details along with Order items (Master-Detail relationship)

I am using the following code:

<apex:repeat value="{!Sales_Order__c.Order_Item__r}" var="line">
           <tr>
               <td>{!line.Name}</td>
               <td>{!line.Unit_of_Measure__c}</td>
               <td>{!line.Qty_Ordered__c}</td>
               <td>{!line.Qty_Shipped__c}</td>
               <td>{!line.Qty_Backordered__c}</td>
               <td>{!line.Unit_Price__c}</td>
               <td>{!line.Total__c}</td>
           </tr>
       </apex:repeat>

 

but when i try to save it, i get the foolowing error msg. :   Error: Invalid field Order_Item__r for SObject Sales_Order__c

 

I saw in an other post to make use of extension class but as i am new i do not know where to start and how to write a extension class.

 

Any help regarding this is much appreciated.

Hello all,

 

I have a Lead Assignment rule setup and want to use it in the Web2Lead form.

I see that we can hard code any field value using 'hidden' code in the form (example: <input type=hidden name="lead_source" value="Website Catalog Request"> )

 

I am aware that we can set the Assignment rule header to TRUE by default but this will be set even if a user creates a new Lead manually.

 

Please let me know if we can use an Assgnment rule in the form itself; that way the rule will be active only for leads coming in from web.

Hi all,

 

I want to create a rollup summary field which sums up the amount from its child records.

This summing of amounts should take place only if flag is checked on the child record. Otherwise, the rollup field should ignore this amount field on the child records.

Hi,
I wonder if anyone has an answer to how to do this task.

I find that 70% of email addresses are in the format First.Last@WebAddress
For example in SFDC my name is jeremy gibson
Our web address is held in the Account Website box as http://www.myorg.co.uk/

From this, via a custom button I should be able to generate jeremy.gibson@myorg.co.uk and have it inserted to the Contact eMail field. This I think would save a lot of time and be correct in about 70% of cases.

Has anyone already created a routine for this they would be willing to share.?
I have no idea how to code this capability as a relative newbie user to SFDC.

Best regards
jeremy

Is there a way to restrict users from adding tabs to a App in SF?  In otherwords, can you configure a particular app in SF to omit the 'All Tabs' link in order to prevent users from adding additional tabs to a custom app?

 

 

Hope that makes sense and thanks in advance!

We have a number of reports used by our Partner Portal users that are built upon a Custom Report Type. These reports have recently started returning 'Insufficient Privileges' messages to the portal users and I've been unable to diagnose the problem. Reports using standard report types on the same objects work correctly. Our instance (na8) has recently been updated to Summer 11 and I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing similar problems.

 

Thanks.

Hi All,


We have a workflow rule that autopopulates the Opportunity Name. However when the opportunity record is initially created the field is blank and the user must enter a name in order to save the record as the field is required. 

 

Is there a way the name field can be populated with “-----Autopopulated-----“ at the time the record is initially created?


Thank you.
