Here's a hidden gem in Salesforce that can make your record pages pop with crucial insights. 1. Conditional Formatting Trend - Salesforce's new conditional formatting feature is transforming how users interact with data on record pages. - It enhances data visibility by allowing fields to dynamically change their appearance based on specific conditions. 2. Insights for Salesforce Professionals - This feature works with Dynamic Forms-enabled pages and uses rulesets to control field appearances. - By applying icons, colors, or text styles, it helps users quickly identify critical data, boosting productivity. 3. Implementation Details & Challenges - Conditional formatting supports up to 10 rules per ruleset, applied in sequence. - Rules cannot be reordered after creation, so careful planning is essential to avoid errors. 4. Step-by-Step Execution - Begin by accessing the Lightning App Builder and selecting the relevant record page. - Define rules with specific actions and conditions, like changing colors based on amount thresholds. - Save and activate your changes, then test the formatting to ensure it meets the use case. Technical debt in Salesforce can accumulate quickly if features like conditional formatting are not strategically managed. Unplanned changes or excessive formatting rules can clutter interfaces and reduce system efficiency. This can lead to higher costs and slower implementation times, directly impacting business growth. As a Salesforce architect, it’s essential to guide non-technical managers in understanding how minimizing technical debt is crucial for maximizing Salesforce ROI and aligning with strategic goals. Keep these best practices in mind: Keep the design simple, and test thoroughly to ensure rules are meaningful and enhance usability.

How do you know if you should automate something with software? At a high level, you should first start to assess this by addressing these two topics: 1. What is the value of this automation to the business? - Is it clearly defined value? - Is the value meaningful? - There will be a cost to building this now and in the future with tech debt. Is it adding enough measurable value to offset that cost? 2. Could I do this process manually and with consistent decisions? - Is there consistently, or is everything a one-off instance? - Is there a clear path that is consistent, works every time, and uses clear logic? - I think sometimes we believe it would be helpful to automate something, but you can't even figure out what the workflow looks like. If you can't do it manually, how can you expect to tell a computer what to do for multiple records over and over again and expect accuracy? I've not only seen this pattern of success in building out apps in Salesforce, but in building out Planster. Because the formulas and automations were built and manually ran in a spreadsheet and because these manual processes have repeatedly proven to provide immense value to CPG companies, it was a no-brainer to take these spreadsheet models and turn into an automated inventory planner app. #salesforce #cpg #software #architecture

Just because you can track and report on almost everything in Salesforce, it doesn't mean you should.   If you have been working with Salesforce, either from Business perspective or Tech, you have likely come across (if not, let me know) Reports & Dashboards.   Over the years working as a Product Owner, I would regularly get requests such as   "I need a report that shows ABC" "my team needs to know this, therefore we need a report" "we want to track this and that"   While building a Report and even Dashboard in Salesforce is really easy, it is not a silver bullet to improve business processes.   More often than not, my stakeholders would want reports so they or their team can act on certain metrics.   But creating more metrics to act on, creates a different behemoth.   Over time, it is easy to accumulate a large amount of reports and losing focus and momentum of the things we once wanted to track.   So instead of saying yes and creating another iteration of a report, I would suggest:   😯 Forget the KPI you want to track, for now ❓ Instead, think of what you want to improve ⁉ Which problem are you trying to solve 💡 Think how you could solve this.   For example, instead of having a report of contacts without e-mail address to follow up on, you could make the e-mail field mandatory when entering a contact.   Once you have a solution that will actually improve your metric, you can support your theory with a report to track whether this is actually making a change.   In some cases you will still create reports to track metrics just for the sake of tracking them.   And you will also have reports just to indicate things such as revenue, complaints and other things, which you cannot simply automate to "improve".   But keep this in mind:   Peter Drucker once said "ONLY what gets measured gets managed". He didn't mean "everything that gets measured gets managed" 😎   Like these bitesized learnings?   Follow me: 🤑 If you are a business person and want to better understand how to work with Tech teams 🤖 If you are a developer or tech person and want to better understand your business stakeholder 👽 If you want to move into or recently started to work in product development and yet feel out of place sometimes
