Hi,

The benefits of Salesforce Communities Web portals include:

1. Accelerated development – deploy a Community in as little as 30 days
Yes, you can build a portal in as little as 30 days. Previously, portals between companies would be built individually by programmers who would need time to learn the intricacies of each stakeholder in order to develop the right application using Java, PHP or .NET. The Salesforce Cloud platform has the multi-corporate portal technologies built into its structure.

2. Affordable, predictable pricing and support
The Community Cloud is a pre-built framework that offers a lot of value over developing a custom application that must be maintained and improved over time with your own internal resources or development shop. Custom in-house solutions also increase the cost to integrate with CRM, your customer service solution and marketing automation programs. Ongoing support of a SaaS-based Community Cloud will require less resources and can be handled by a Salesforce administrator rather than IT.

3. Mobile enabled
The Community Cloud is already mobile enabled, meaning you don’t need to build a separate mobile component that can significantly increase the cost.

Keep in mind that the you may need to optimize for mobility with responsive design when considering your customized branding, user experience and processes specific to your requirements. Hiring a Salesforce Consulting partner with expertise in mobile and Community Cloud deployment is critical to your application’s success.

4. Integration friendly – close the loop on marketing and sales
Use the native integration to Salesforce or build a custom API to other backend system to connect data in disparate systems so the right users can access the right data in real time. You need a 360-degree view of your customers and partners in order to provide the best service at the appropriate time and report on performance in a closed-loop approach.

5. Differentiate your business, products and services
Streamlining the processes your stakeholders take to do business with you is a key way businesses are differentiating themselves in a competitive environment. Use technology to your advantage by creating a delightful experience that facilitates the success of all parties involved.

6. Collaborate and connect like never before
Partner Channel Sales
Use Salesforce Communities to Streamline Channel Partner Communication and collaborate for mutual success. Connect directly with resellers, distributors, and partners to increase sales. Enable partners to find the information and experts they need, register new leads, update records, and manage funds.

Customer Service
Use Salesforce Communities to provide a rich, self-service experience that also enables them to connect with each other to troubleshoot issues and share resources. This also enables your service agents to concentrate on the most complex and impactful issues.

Employees
Reasons to build employee communities in Salesforce are much the same as partner channel sales and customer service. Salesforce Communities provide a one-stop-shop for employees to ask questions, review their schedules, log cases, log tickets for IT, manage expense reports, find training materials, search knowledge databases and collaborate with co-workers.

Hi,

Pros of DataLoader

Extracting Salesforce attachments in original file format! I do not know of a tool that can do this better, or more efficiently! This is a huge benefit to companies that would like to extract attachments from Salesforce for tasks like data migrations.
Cross-object data extract within one file. You can pull data from related objects as long as there is a populated lookup from the object you are extracting, to another object (Child or Parent).
UI is simple and requires very little to no training. Given the acquisition of Mulesoft by Salesforce, I would not be surprised if DataLoader.IO is rolled out as the new global data loading tool for Salesforce.
Cons of DataLoader
Since Dataloader.IO is cloud-based, you will find that some objects require you to extract in batches of 100,000. Regardless of the number of fields, 2 or 50, you will need to batch into groups of 100,000 which requires you to use criteria such as data ranges, owners, etc.
You will need to conform to the date/time formatting within Dataloader.IO, which differs from Dataloader and other similar tools. This is a very minor inconvenience; however, you will need to know the different formats and when to use them.

Pros of jitterbit :

Data Transformation - updating multiple sources to use our data dictionary
Picking up files from our sftp site - removes manual intervention
Move data from one org to another through Salesforce

Cons of jitterbit :
It was difficult to figure out how to export file sources
We have to pay per integration site so that can be costly if we are using it for multiple sources
Some of the icons are difficult to determine their functionality

Thanks

Hi,

Matching Rules
A matching rule defines how duplicate records are identified in duplicate rules and duplicate jobs. Salesforce provides standard matching rules for business and person accounts, contacts, and leads. You can also create custom matching rules.

Available in: Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

Customize Matching Rules
Find more duplicates by creating custom matching rules.
Things to Know About Matching Rules
Find out how matching rules work, review what to know when you customize matching rules, and look at some examples to get started. Or go further: Do a deep-dive on matching criteria, methods, algorithms, match keys, and normalization criteria.
Standard Matching Rules
You can use the provided standard matching rules with duplicate rules and duplicate jobs. You can’t edit these standard matching rules, but you can create custom matching rules.

Thanks

Hi,

Aura is an open-source UI framework built by Salesforce for developing dynamic web apps for mobile and desktop devices. The lightning component framework is not different from the Aura framework rather it is a subset of the Aura framework.  The Lightning Component framework is built on the open-source Aura framework. However, the open-source Aura framework has some features that aren’t available to Lightning Component framework.

Apex is a development platform for building software as a service (SaaS) applications on top of Salesforce.com’s customer relationship management (CRM) functionality. Apex allows developers to access Salesforce.com’s back-end database and client-server interfaces to create third-party SaaS applications. Apex includes an application program interface (API) that developers can use to access user data on Salesforce.com.

 

Thanks

Hi,

To test methods defined with the future annotation, call the class containing the method in a startTest(), stopTest()code block. All asynchronous calls made after the startTest method are collected by the system. When stopTest is executed, all asynchronous processes are run synchronously.

@isTest
private class FutureApexTest {

private static testMethod void callFutureMethod() {

Test.startTest();

// Call your @future method here.
FutureApex.doCallFuture();

// Now that we've queued up the @future method to be executed, we
// need to call Test.stopTest(). When Test.stopTest() runs, all
// queued and scheduled Apex that would occur in the future is actually
// executed immediately at this time.

Test.stopTest();

// Validate the expected results.
System.assertEquals(expectedValue, actualValue);

}
}

Hope this helps!

Hi,

Note: Although you can't represent an <apex:facet> directly in Apex, you can specify it on a dynamic component that has the facet. For example:

Component.apex.dataTable dt = new Component.apex.dataTable(); dt.facets.header = 'Header Facet';

<!-- For this example to render properly, you must associate the Visualforce page
with a valid account record in the URL.
For example, if 001D000000IRt53 is the account ID, the resulting URL should be:
https://Salesforce_instance/apex/myPage?id=001D000000IRt53
See the Visualforce Developer's Guide Quick Start Tutorial for more information. -->

<!-- Shows a two column table of contacts associated with the account.
The account column headers are controlled by the facets.-->

<apex:page standardController="Account">
<apex:pageBlock title="Contacts">
<apex:dataTable value="{!account.Contacts}" var="contact" cellPadding="4" border="1">
<apex:column >
<apex:facet name="header">Name</apex:facet>
{!contact.Name}
</apex:column>
<apex:column >
<apex:facet name="header">Phone</apex:facet>
{!contact.Phone}
</apex:column>
</apex:dataTable>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>

Hi,

You may need to deactivate a process in an org, for example, when a process is installed using a managed package and that process references a custom object that isn't in the target org. In this case, the process is active and can't be edited using the Process Builder.

​Follow these steps to deactivate a process.

1. Log into Workbench. Read more here about Workbench.

2. Use Workbench to retrieve metadata components and then download those components in a .zip file.
Read about Metadata for more information.

3. Modify the flowDefinition file (contained in the .zip file you downloaded) by specifying a value of 0 in activeversionNumber.
Note that the flowDefinition file is available only in API version 34 and later.

Example package.xml file contents to pull the initial Flow Definition file:

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Adding more to the above answer -

You can select a responsive layout when building an email template. If you’re an advanced user, you can add responsive CSS to your own layout templates using media queries. When testing an email with a responsive template, preview it by clicking Open in Popup and then manually resizing the window.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Global - This means that the method or variable is visible to any inner classes in the defining Apex class, and to the classes that extend the defining Apex class. You can only use this access modifier for instance methods and member variables.

Bind - This use of a local code variablewithin a SOQL or SOSL statement is called a bind .

Hope it helps.

[shariq]

Hi,

This class contain reusable codes, so that we need not to rewrite it again and again, we just call the method from that class into other as depending our logic.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Examples - 

Examples of events include, but are not limited to, these actions:

• A contact purchases a product.
• A contact signs up for a conference.
• A customer publishes a restaurant review.

Events can be journey-specific or shared between journeys.

• Configure journey-specific events within a journey for use only in that journey.
• Create shared events in Entry Source Administration for use in multiple journeys.

Every journey must include a configured entry source before activation

Hope this helps.

Hi,

The core difference between Pardot and Marketing Cloud is they are designed with different types of businesses in mind. The Pardot platform is optimized forbusiness-to-business companies (B2B) whereas the Marketing Cloud was developed to meet the needs of business-to-consumer companies (B2C).

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Adding one more point -

Using Array Notation for One-Dimensional Lists

When using one-dimensional lists of primitives or objects, you can also use more traditional array notation to declare and reference list elements. For example, you can declare a one-dimensional list of primitives or objects by following the data type name with the [] characters:

String[] colors = new List<String>();

These two statements are equivalent to the previous:

List<String> colors = new String[1];

String[] colors = new String[1];

To reference an element of a one-dimensional list, you can also follow the name of the list with the element's index position in square brackets. For example:

colors[0] = 'Green';

Even though the size of the previous String array is defined as one element (the number between the brackets in newString[1]), lists are elastic and can grow as needed provided that you use the List add method to add new elements. For example, you can add two or more elements to the colors list. But if you’re using square brackets to add an element to a list, the list behaves like an array and isn’t elastic, that is, you won’t be allowed to add more elements than the declared array size.

All lists are initialized to null. Lists can be assigned values and allocated memory using literal notation. For example:

List<Integer> ints = new Integer[0];//Defines an Integer list of size zero with no elements

 

List<Integer> ints = new Integer[6];//Defines an Integer list with memory allocated for six Integers

 

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Adding some more points in it -

Use My Domain to Create Your Own Subdomain Name
Create your own subdomain to better manage login and authentication for your Salesforce org. A subdomain is also a way to brand your org with your company name.
While you’re learning to use My Domain, don’t perform these steps in your production org. For a good introduction, see the Trailhead module, User Authentication. After you deploy your new domain name, you can’t reverse it without contacting Salesforce Support.

Creating a My Domain subdomain helps you better manage login and authentication for your org in several key ways. You can:

• Highlight your business identity with your unique domain URL
• Brand your login screen and customize right-frame content
• Block or redirect page requests that don’t use the new domain name
• Work in multiple Salesforce orgs at the same time
• Set custom login policy to determine how users are authenticated
• Let users log in using a social account, like Google and Facebook, from the login page
• Allow users to log in once to access external services

Implementing a custom domain for your site creates brand recognition and gives you additional control and functionality.

Create a CNAME entry in your DNS
1. Click Setup.
2. Under “Administer,” click Domain Management | click Domains.
3. Click Add A Domain.
4. Copy the 18 digit token. This token is case sensitive so copy it exactly as displayed.

Add the Custom Domain information to Salesforce

This is a 2 step process, first you’ll need to add the domain information to your org, and then you’ll map the custom domain to your Salesforce Site.
Add the domain information to your Salesforce Org

1. In your Salesforce Org, click Setup.
2. Under “Administer,” Click Domain Management | click Domains.
3. Click Add A Domain.
4. Enter your custom domain in the Domain Name field

Hope thisd helps.

Hi,

This event is automatically fired when an app or component is initialized, prior to rendering.

Component-

<aura:component>

<aura:handler name=”init” value=”{!this}” action=”{!c.doInit}”/>

</aura:component>

jsController-

({
doInit: function(cmp) {
// Set the attribute value.
// You could also fire an event here instead.
alert(‘test’);
}
})

Hope this helps.

[shariq]

Hi,

We use Init() event to initialize a component or fire an event after component construction but before Rendering.

aura:init always runs first, as it runs the moment the component is constructed.

In component source we use-

<aura:handler name=”init” value=”{!this}” action=”{!c.doInit}”/>

Client side Controller source we use-

doinit:function(component,event,helper)

Hope it helps.
