Back to Classic: Full View is now GA!
Personally, one of my favourite features in Lightning, is the ability to use tabs and components to display related lists. Not only does it make the related list more visible, it also shortens and simplifies the page layout when compared to Classic. However, I appreciate that transitioning to a new interface can be tough, and … Continue reading Back to Classic: Full View is now GA!

Only using the standard price book? You can hide the option to ‘Add Price Book’!
Even if you only use the standard price book, the option to 'Add Price Book' will still appear as an option. This seems quite misleading and confusing for users; it's also a button that's not needed and in my book that makes it clutter. There's a fairly simple solution to this: the 'Add Price Book' … Continue reading Only using the standard price book? You can hide the option to ‘Add Price Book’!
It’s time to start letting go…how to hide the Classic report builder

Dashboard date filters: the best feature you’re not using yet…
Whenever I get a request for a new dashboard I try to use dashboard filters where possible instead of over-filtering the underlying reports. The reason? It's easier to re-use or clone the reports and dashboard in future. I love dashboard filters and very often find myself filtering on picklists like Opportunity Stage or Account Type. … Continue reading Dashboard date filters: the best feature you’re not using yet…

Time saving tips: There’s a search bar in the App Launcher 🤦♀️
I debated posting this time saving tip for fear of being laughed out of the Salesforce community...maybe this one is too obvious, maybe it's just me that missed it?! Then I read #WTHWednesday – The Accidentals’ Salesforce Fails (Take 1) and saw several face-palm scenarios I thought no one else experienced. So, if I missed this … Continue reading Time saving tips: There’s a search bar in the App Launcher 🤦♀️
MAX your roll-ups! Are you keeping an eye on your lapsed customers? 👀 📆
The Problem: Wouldn't it be great if you could easily see the date of your last won opportunity directly on the account record page, instead of sifting through your opportunities? Even better, if you could identify an account as a current or past customer at a glance. I don't know about your business, but in … Continue reading MAX your roll-ups!
