Hello, 

 

I used a hack to create a custom button to my 'sample request' custom object. The new button lives on my account page. 

 

Here is the code I am using: 

{!Sample_Request__c.Id}/a1Y30000000hHgO/e?clone=1&retURL=%2F{!Sample_Request__c.Id}

 Now the button works except for these two issues:

 

1) It's cloning (since I used a bit of cloned code to hack it) the account, and I need the account to populate (whichever act the user is on when they click 'sample request). 

2) I need the 'name' to be 'null' or blank. I could even see replacing the 'name' with an auto number, like cases do, since naming the request will not be important.

Here is a pic where the button lives, and a pic of the mock-up of the form that the button will create. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! 

 

 

I want to replace the Home tab with our Leaderboard tab for all my user in a single profile. I know this is visualforce, and I just want to get the best step-by-step guide on building this. I found this simular post, will these direction accomplish resetting the home tab to the leaderboard tab?

Hello, 

 

I tried to posting this on the answer board, and I also contacted support (but basic support does not help with building fomulas).

I need to create a custom field on the invoice itself to determine the number of days past due for any invoice that has an open balance. Then bucket by that field. Please see the sketch (link) to see what I'm trying to capture in a dashboard:

Thanks for the feedback!

 

"Remember that basic support gives support to the formulas already created but not handle the creation of new ones due to the fact that we do not know how they work in Salesforce environment, so for that most of time we recommend to our customers to visit developer.force.com so they can post the idea of the formula they want and most of the time other developers and system admin can give them some ideas how to create them."

Has anyone else had issues with ET opting out contacts that should not be opted out? We have thousands of contacts (including internal reps that would have never opted out) being opted out. SFDC claims that it has to be ET opting out these contacts and we are getting these two excuses from ET:

 

1. The contact  record in your Salesforce instance has the "Email Opt Out" box checked and the integration sees that the box is checked at send time and marks the subscriber as Unsubscribed.

 

2. There are multiple contacts in your Salesforce instance with the same email address. If one of these contacts become unsubscribed (as a result of item 1 above or the email was unsubscribed previously), then the remaining contacts with this email address are marked as Unsubscribed at send time.

 

Out of 11,104 emails I found only 57 dupes. 

 

We are thankfully now able to use Constant Contact with SFDC, so dropping ET is what will most likely do, just wanted some feedback first. 

 

Thanks!

Hi Formula Authors,
If you like formulas, I wanted to make a quick plug for validation rules, a cool new feature in Winter '07 that uses formulas to define data validation conditions that can prevent invalid data from getting into salesforce.

If you are already familiar with formulas, you will be able to create validation rules in a snap.

For more info, take a look at these resources:

Feature detail page:
